NEW WHEAT PRICE
FAILS TO HOLD
Grain For Shipment Ordered ResoId
at High Price and Bottom Drops
Out Of 2Msfket,, Slump. Of 8 Cents
From Top ,Ensuisg.

Chicago. Feb. 5. - Wheat advanced
swiftly today to new high record war
prices. 1t took only brief time for
the May option to reach $I661s. The
previous top notch quotation was on
Feb. 3-$l.66. Most of the trading to-
day was in the July delivery, in which
the upturn was not quite so radical.
There was something like stam-
pede after the market had climbed to
s1.67 for May. Seaboard offers to re-
sell wheat in Chicago surprised the
bulls and there was an element Of de-
preston in the fact that corn was not
keeping pace upward with wheat. The
result was sudden drop of more than
3 cents from the top figures attained.
Break in prices continude until Az
cents had been ripped away from the
uppermost earlier values. Closing
prices were extremely nervous, at q
range varying from u Off to " up.
compared with last night.

DEMAND FOR NEUTRAL SHIPS.
Argentina stateman Says Trade Be
tween Americas Should Be Free.

Washington, Feb. 5-Complete neu-
tralization Of com merce between the
Americans in ships of all flags was
proposed today by Ambassador Naon,
Of Argentina, before the chamber OF
commerce of the United States.
Il maintain that the complete neu-
tralization OF inter American COM
merce,' he said, Ought to be recog-
nized and l entertain the hope. and
more that that. feel the certainty that
we could have the countries at war to
agree in establishing rule that no
vessel engaged in exclusive trade be-
tween American ports be subject to
capture.
with such rule we should be able
to obtain all the vessels we need for
the promotion OF our commerce with
the United States and other American
republics
The need Of immediate expansion in
the commercial relations between the
United States and Argentina was
voiced by Ambassador Moan
Plan For Peace Offered.
In a discussion of trade expansion
and the European war Edward Fileme,
of Boston, outlined how he thought
American business men could partici-
pate In bringing about peace.
"It becomes apparent that great ex-
ertion and great expense for foreign
trade expansion must be accompanied
by equal exertion to make the terms
Of settlement of the present war, that
Europe will not remain an armed
camp" he said.
"As business men we should ask our
selves, What can We do to help bring
about the right terms of settlement OF
the war? This struggle is so fierce
that at present there seems no oppor-
tunity for outside interference.
IF the United States Is to have in
f1uence in the settlement. such inter-
ference will depend largely in the faith
the warning nations have in our fair
ness. We must play the game straight
and not try to take any advantage Of
the trade helplessness OF any Of tho
fighting nations"

The same effort for the last Ave

point of view If Germany turns to the
threat of piracy it is merely because
in legitimate war they have hitherto
had no success. The use of subma-

will not induce the government to scat
