PEACE RUMORS HIT
OMAHA GRAIN MEN
Kaiser Wilhelm Talks Like a
Hague Delegate and Wal
lops High Price Wheat.
CEREAL DROPS SIX CENTS

High-priccd grain got a hard swat
in the face when wheat sold OFT to
6 cents a bushel, with corn quoted at
2(G5 cents, and oats cent lower than
the close of Monday.
The decline in grain prices came
right at the opening of the market
and was brought about by reports
that Germany was ready to sue for
peace and end the European war,
This report put an end to dealing on
the Omaha market and practically
all of the wheat was carried over
However, sales made were around
$l.63@l.66.
One car of corn was sold, fetching
SO cents. This was the only offering,
holders feeling confident that an ad-
vance would soon follow the decline.
There was nothing doing in oats,
rye or barley. None of the cereals
was called for and none was offered
The Omaha option market was as
dull and undressing as the cash
The pit was deserted and but few
trades made. However, the futures
dealt in were all off several cents
from Monday,
Wide Price Range.
The range of prices on the Chicago
market was the widest in several
weeks. For instance, Monday May
futures on wheat closed at $l7s, and
this morning opened at $l74, running
down to $l,66h and later reacting a
couple of cents a bushel.
Monday the July option closed a.
$l.4S and Tuesday morning opened
at $l.46}s, quickly running off &c
$l.42H per bushel, with reaction Of
3 cents, most OF which was lost be-
fore the close of the market.
1t is the talk on the floor of the ex'
change that instead of being losers
by the drop in prices on grain, Omaha
men are big winners. 1t is
said that those who bought and who
have been h lding high-priced wheat
seeming tie decline, have been sell
ing futures, thu making more thar
they have lost on the actual wheat ii
storage. Then, there were another
lot of the dealers who for severa
days have had been anticipating tn,
decline and had been selling quickl,
after buying the actual stuff. In thi'
way they are asserted to have more
than come out even.

FARMERS CONGRESS
HAS BONE TO PICK
Proposal of Stock Yards to
Raise Price of Corn Arouses
Ire of the Delegates.
OPPOSED TO EMBARGO, TOO

The farmers congress, which
opened its three-day convention in
Omaha this morning at the Hotel
Castle, will probably hold a thorough
discussion Of the proposed increase
in the charge for corn led to hogs
shipped to the South Side stock
yards. The farmers are unit in
opposition to the proposal OF the
ward company to raise the price OF
corn to $3.50 from the present charge
of ST.. The case is before the State
Railway commission.
J. B. Gpnnell. secretary OF the Ne
braska Farmers congress, recently
attended some conferences in Lincoln
at which the cost OF corn at the yards
and other matters before the state
commission were discussed. he
touched on the matter in his annua
report to the congress this morning
though he did not go into it in any
great detail.
1t is understood that many of thu
delegates here at the congress are
ready to give some experiences in tn
matter of their dealing with the yare
company's corn prices in their ship
ments of hogs to the market.
Urges Embargo Fight.
Secretary Grinnell also urged tina
the congress take definite and yigor
Gus steps against the proposed EN-
barge on grain shipped out OF thu

gress, like the Farmers Co-operatlv'
Grain and Live Stock association
which met a few weeks ago, believe
that il the farmer must ssell on TN
open market when that market u
low, then he must be accorded tn
same privilege to sell on the opei
market when that market is high.
Secretary Grinnell recommends
that the farmers make a close stud.
