GRAIN TRADERS
EXPECT ACTION
Waiting for Brisk Market to
Replace the Dull
Trading.
SENTIMENT BEARISH NOW
Cold Weather Credited with Keeping
Down Insects-Crop Condi-
tons Improving.
By JOSEPH F. PRITCHARD,

Special Correspondent Of The Washington Herald.
Chicago, May 30.-New wheat was
hedged at Chicago. st. Louis. and Kansas
City yesterday. Sentiment on grain is
bearish. There is a plentitude of en-
thusiasm among the bears and those
wanting wheat are not forced to wait to
meet with ample supplies. The specula-
tors are recalling that while wheat is re-
ported as having gone backward because
of wet wIhther and insect invasion. the
average countryman does not care to in
vest in this wheat and at the same time
back up his claim of a change for the
worse.
Insects cannot progress during wet and
cold weather of the sort the country has
experienced the past fortnight. This has
caused n cessation of report Of losses OF
30 per cent and in many cases of blowing
up large tracts of wheat in sections Of
Kansas. Missouri and Illinois and most
of the States are said to have regained
part of their losses since the recent heavy
rains.
Many claims Of crop losses have been
highly colored for a purpose. And there
are claims of general betterment In
conditions that have also been over
drawn.
Looking for Action.
Now that the long drawn out May
wheat deal is out Of the way. 1t Is ex-
pected there will be an almost complete
reversal of conditions surrounding the
market Dizziness is expected to give
way to activity. and price changes, II Is
hoped. will pivot on crop conditions the
demand for the cash article on domestic
and foreign account and the volume OF
trade in flour, together with conditions
surrounding tho market.
The cash wheat market has ruled slow
at times There have. been obstacles In
the way of active trade because OF lack
of ocean tonnage. coupled with Tears OF
vessels meeting with troubles in the war
zone The Lusitania and Nebraskan IN
cidents have restricted outward move
ments OF breadstuffs and there is a pos
only partially for a time. This would
prove a marked drawback to the wheat
market.
Bun Market Probable.
The advent of the new winter wheat
from Texas is expected to bring COM
plete change over the market.
Corn has displayed surprising strength.
1t has been a weather market, with the
price holding above a certain level be-
cause of the extended heavy rains
throughout the great belt.
Oats has displayed considerable strength
when the wheat losses are considered.
The export demand has suffered a halt
and the business on Eastern shipping ac-
count has been comparatively small.
While stocks are not as cumbersome as
they were a few weeks ago, they are
still large, and there is little probability
of 4 bull market unless something I'M
foreseen happens to the crop.

ARMY OFFICERS
TO TRAIN BOYS
Secretary of War Changes Ar
rangements for Students
Military Camps.
LEGAL BARRIER REMOVED
Pupils Will Attend as Candidates for
Commissions in a Possible
Volunteer Amy.
BARRIER REMOVED

BY changing the arrangements for the
students military camps. the Secretary
of War has overcome the legal objec-
tions Of the Comptroller Of the Treasury
to the detailing of regular army officers
and troops to the camps this year. 1t is
now practically assured that the camps
at Ludington, Mich. and four other
places will be held this year in July as
announced by the War Department
Under the new arrangements, the regu-
lar troops will be sent to the camps for
their annual training Instead Of to the
regular military reservation The STU
dents will attend as candidates for COM
missions in a volunteer army that would
be raised in the event of war under the
recent Volunteer Army Act. The gradu-
ates of the course of instruction given
at the camps will be placed upon an
eligible list OF volunteer officers which is
kept at the War Department.
This arrangement not only gives them
the right to receive instructions from the
regular army. but will give the students
something to work for when they attend
the camps. A diploma from the course
will virtually amount to a commission
in any volunteer army called out by the
President.
Lesson Taught by War.
II there is any lesson that has been
taught by the European war 1t is the alb
solute necessity of having trained officers
for an army. This accounts. it is claimed
by military authorities. for the achieve
ments Of the German and French armies
and the poor record that has been made
by the Russian forces. Even the Aus
trian army has developed unexpected
strength owing to the presence of a large
number of trained German officers In its
organization. 1t is generally believed
that the allies would have been In Con-
stantinople long ago II 1t had not been
for the reorganization of the Turkish
army by trained German officers
Secretary Garrison is convinced that
any military policy which Congress
adopts at the next session will require
an increase in the number of regular
army officers and a large corps Of trained
reserve officers. He regards the stu
dents camps as a small beginning in this
direction and intends to do all that he
can in encouraging the work that can
be done by the regular army with stu
dents in developing reserve officers.

Chesapeake Beach Outing and Chill
den's Exercises shown This Week.
Two added motion picture films at
keith's this week are of especial interest
in Washington. inasmuch as they per-
pctuate two recent local events. One
shows the members of the Board of
Trade enjoying their annual outing and
shad bake at Chesapeake Beach, credited
with being the most successful and pleas
ing of any of the events Of the sort in
the years gone by. Another shows 1000
pupils of the public schools here going
through the physical exercises which are
a part OF the curriculum.
Both films are fine products Of pho
Biography and those who participated. to-
Sether with their interested relatives and
friends will be pleased to see how easily
they can be picked out from the sur
rounding groups. Accompanying these
are the first films of the Lusitania dis
aster scenes. All were shown yesterday
and will be continued this week.
