GRAIN PRICES DROP IN WH|RL OF SELLING Belief War May Soon End Causes Wild Close 6 IA
 to 8 1-4c Lower

Chicago September 14.-Grain prices crashed downward today in a whirl of selling. due to belief that the war might end soon. The close was wild, with wheat 61lc to SAC lower than Saturday night: corn off 21kc to 27sc, and oats showing a setback of S7sc to 4S4c net. In provisions the outcome varied from 20 cents decline to an equal advance.
 Bulls in wheat were in a semi-panic for fear the bottom might fall out of the market because of treaty of peace pos sibly being signed with a swiftness for which most spectators were i'll prepared. Immense receipts from the spring crop ip the northwest added to the woes of the bulls
 Corn fell with wheat, but the descent was retarded by the fact that the visible supply failed to increase as much as had been looked for.
 Oats were under as severe selling as wheat a good share of the time
 Provision dealers who sold last week turned out active buyers today. The eff feet, though, was largely offset by the Weakness of hogs and grain.

MUCH STEAD|ERSPOT
 SITUATION IN SOUTH
Special Committee In New York Cotton Market Is
 More Optimistic

New York. September 14.-While there was no further liquidation of the old straddle interest through the special cont mittee in the New York cotton market today. the talk around the floor was more cheerful than for sometime past. This seemed the result of continued reports of steadier spot situation in the south and rumors that a syndicate had been formed to take over the December interest nere and undertake the liquidation of the straddle interest in a block.
 No official statement was issued in this connection, but 1t was reported that local houses having open contracts in Decem- bed had been approached with proposi- ton that this syndicate take over the con tracts on the basis of cents here and 5.2od in Liverpool. Such an operation, 1t was believed, would clear the way for an early resumption of business, and it was also rumored that the committee which las been working up new bylaws to make the New York contract conform with the cotton futures law, had practi- cally completed their work.
