CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, Dec, Probable renewal of the
difficulties between the United States and
Germany had bearish Influence on wheat
today and emphasized weakness that result
ed from let up in domestic demand. The
close was heavy, l to s. sc net loweg with
May at sl.7SA to 1.7Sa and July at sl.4s%
to l4s&. Other leading staples. too, all
showed a setback-corn. INC to IN; oats
Nc to *, and provisions. 2slsc to 30,
Although 1t was known long before noon
that the German defense for the sinking
Of the Arabic presented a chance that the
United States government was to take
different view Of facts, wheat traders did
not seem much impressed with any sense
OF danger until the last fifteen minutes OF
the session. Then a Washington message
saying that a byeak with Germany over
the Arabic might occur at any time led
rapidly. Apparent complete absence OF
fresh export business had been a previous
source Of depression, which was aided by
forecasts Of large shipments from Austria
LA. and by a talk Of lack of adequate rylm-
Der OF freight carriers on the North At
tlantic.
Prospects that export buying, which
since the first OF the week had been on a
big scale would continue today, seemed
bright at first, but dwindfed to nothing In
the end, Temporary advances in the price
OF wheat accordingly formed the rule In
the morning hours, and were helped by
word that ships would be withdrawn from
the Argentine trade, presumably for trips
between North America and Europe,
Increased country offerings put corn on
tho downgrade, together with the weak
ness OF wheat. Rainy weather acted as
only a transient offset. Oats gave way
with other grain. Scarcity of cars tended
to restrict demand from the seaboard, al
though exporters were said TO have dis
posed of $40 geo bushels.
Provisions fell in response 10 decline

CORN is QUITE ACTIVE

Omaha, December 7. 1916.
An excellent cash demand for wheat
forced another sharp advance in the price
OF this cereal today. The effect Of the
Increased export business was seen In to-
days market and wheat of all grades sold

rather slow sellers at prices ruling from

The local demand for corn was quite ac-
tive and good shipping demand was a
big help TO the local cash situation.
Corn sold on much better basis than
1t did yesterday and all grades of this ce-
real sold quite readily at prices ranging
from 2g3c higher
White corn agiln took the lead and sold
at slight premium over the yelloY, while
yellow sold at Nc advance over the mixed.
The top price Of the day was 90c on No.

PACKERS WILL TESTIFY

Chicago. Dec. 7.-Federal officials
investigating increases in food prices
were prepared today to continue
their examination of Chicago bankers.
A preliminary investigation revealing
that one bank had loaned more than
81, 100000 on warehouse receipts will
result in an effort to determine just
how much money is advanced for the
purpose of aiding commission brok
ers in holding foods from the mar
ket.
Complaints have been made to
Charles F. Clyne, United States dis
trict attorney, that if it were not for
the money loaned the storage men
could not keep food products in stor-
age long enough for scarcity to be
created.
& Representatives OF the packing
firms at the Union Stock yards also
have been subpoenaed and will be
questioned, possibly today.
