CHICAGO, May 5.-The day on Change de
veloped into one of active trading in cereals
markets generally taking buoyant tone
| despite the removal of the war feature, but
reacted in latest trading, wheat closing fol
the day a shade under yesterday. The
strength developed in wheat was generally
considered surprising in view of the sudden
ending Of war talk, and it was declared thai
war trades had been closed and that specu
lation was now based upon the crop outlook
and the demand for grain. Crop news was
reported as coming in bad, and as the mar
ket seemed stubborn the shorts began to
cover, which also stimulated buying land
caused an advance. Toward the close Of
the regular board and during the afternoon
session the feeling was weaker and the mar
ket finally closed shade under yesterday.
Corn was influenced by the tirmness in
wheat and advancedS@lc over closing yes

orally stronger than yesterday. Flour
