CHICAGO, May S.-The drop OF n
cents per bushel on May wheat today
was ascribed in grain circles today az
due almost solely to the sinking OF
the Lusitania by German submarine.
There were sharp recessions In July
and September futures and marked
weakening of prices as well In corn
and oats. Fear that Germanys action
NAV be- followed by the wholesale
torpedoing Of every grain bearing ship
that comes in range Of her summers
ibles. made grain merchants believe
that the export trade to the warning
countries that have proved their great
est foreign customers, might be SER
iously interfered with.
Closing prices on wheat today were

Bernstorff's unvarying reply to ques-
tons hurled at him tonight regarding
the Lusitania tragedy. The ambassa-
dor left for Washington on an even
ing train. He was plainly distraught
by the sinking of the giant Cunarder.
Let them talk he said, finally,
when reporters had sought to have
him express his views, by declaring
the American people would comment
on his reticence. The counts en-
counter with newspaper men, who
held him up as he took a taxicab for
the station, resulted in him '.damning'
the chauffeur because he paused, CIV
ing the ambassadors inquisitors addi-
tional time to press him for an inter-
view.
At the train where he was again be-
sieged, he added:
Does any one really know what
happened to the Lusitania? I have not
the necessary information on which to
express my opinion"
The count said he would refuse a
statement until it was definitely and
officially proved the Lusitanaia was
torpedoed.
