BEARS IN CONTROL
OF WHEAT MARKET

CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-Bear money and
continued transportation troubles gave
an advantage today to the bears In
wheat. Contentious that large clear.
ances at the seaboard during the rest
OF this month would clear up railway
congestion, did not seem to make much
impression. especially as war RISK
rates on the ocean had risen about as
high for neutral boats as for Belliger'
ents.
On the other hand, flat assertions
that President Wilson would veto any
embargo legislation acted somewhat as
an offset. Opening prices, which
ranged from &c off to 1ac advance,
with May at $1.72a to $1.73 and July
at $141H to SLAP, were followed by
moderate upturns. but then a decided
set back.
Corn sympathized with the weak.
ness Of wheat. About the only de-
mand was from shorts who were in a
position to take profits. After open
ing unchanged to &c higher, the mar
ket hardened a trifle, and then under.
went sag all around.

Leading shares registered fractiona:
changes. mainly downward, on moder-

speculative character yielded point.
These recessions were counter-balanc-
ed by similar advances in miscellan-

HOUSE TURNS DOWN
SENATE ARMY BILL
Two Amendments Tackled on the
Measure for Large Force De-
feated by Decisive Votes.
Mr.. KAHN HINTS AT TROUBLE

WASHINGTON, d. c.. May g.
By two overwhelming votes the
house today declined TO agree to the
senate amendment to the army bill
providing for a standing army Of
100000 men and volunteer army
of 26l 900 pledged to thirty days in
tensive training yearly, The first
proposal was rejected. 241 to 142,
and the latter 2b1 to 100.
A discussion followed the vote on the
aenate's nitrate plant amendment favored
by President Wilson. which was opposed
by many democrat and republican mem
bcrs Some leaders on both sides ex-
pressed belief that the proposal might be
defeated
Outstanding IN the debate on the pro-
posed army increases was the dceara-
tion Of Representative Kahn Of Cali
forniA that he was convinced foreign n9-
tions at the close Of the European war
would demand indemnity from the United
