FREE SELLING RESULTS
IN DECLINE FOR WHEAT
Moderate Rally Follows General
Break After opening-crop Dam
age Reports Fail to Offset.

CHICAGO, February Free selling
by leading houses brought about ma
terial decline today in wheat. Holders
appeared to be discouraged by unoer-
tain outlook for export business
owing to dangers from German raiders
on the Atlantic and because of central
!zing of foreign government control OF
European buying. Indications OF crop
damage in Michigan and Kansas failed
to act as an offset.
Opening prices, which ranged from
Y lower to y advance. were followed
by a decided general break and then
moderate rally. First quotations were
1924 to 1913 for May, and 1.24S to
124N' for July.
Receipts Weaken Corn Prices.
Big receipts here and at Peoria had
weakening influence on the corn mar
ket. Industries were about the only
buyers After opening 4aA to Y

1872 and Willis, rep, 391 III for COVER
nor Democrats estimate that if the
ratio quoting continues Wilson'S plu-
rality will reach $4,000.
While there is no doubt that Mr.
Wilson has carried the state by Il sub
stantial plurality, both sides are still
claiming to have elected a governor
q senator and a complete state ticket.
This morning five congressional
races in the state remained in doubt.

Wilson Majorities Pile In.

The first figures of Wilson major
tiles through the west did not shake
the confidence Of those who were pre-
dieting the election of Mr.. Hughes
and not until the steady stream Of
| Wilson majorities began eating the
life out Of Hughes columns piled up
! in the east did any of them suspect
that the result was in danger.
At midnight it was apparent that
the free predictions Of a sweeping
republican victory throughout the
country were being contradicted by
the results from the west.
At daylight without any decisive re-
suit, it became apparent that the bat
tie was being fought out in the west
ern states with the advantage in ia
vor of Mr.. Wilson.
Not since a next days revision of
the returns seated Grover Cleveland
in the contest 1892, has the country
been compelled to wait so long to
know the result. More than twelve
hours after the polls closed, President
Wilson and Mr.. Hughes we're running
a neck and neck race in doubtful
states.
Congress returns were equally I'M
certain but on their face at s a. M.
today, the republicans had not been
able to overthrow the democratic ma
jority although they did succeed in
reducing it in the house. In the sem
ate the republicans appeared to have
gained seven seats.
Despite the lack of certain returns
from the states which will turn the
scale neither Of the national chairmen
hesitated to claim the election of his
candidate.
Democratic Chairman Mccormick,
in a statement declared here, Wilson
surely would have 304 votes in the
electoral college. Republican Chair
man Wilcox at a m, claimed every
state generally classed as doubtful
and counted 1928 votes for Mr.. Hughes,
Wilson 232, Hughes 212.
The actual returns, considering def
mite and indicative figures gave Pres
ident Wilson 232 votes and Mr..
Hughes PIP.
On the votes of California, Della
ware, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Mime
sofa, New Hampshire, New Mexico,
Oregon, Washington, West Virginia,
and Wyoming the decisive result OF
the presidential contest turned.
There seemed to be no doubt that
President Wilson had safely carried
