the following resolution was adopted:
THAT the council, as managing
committee of The Winnipeg Grain
Exchange hereby withdraw the faciii-
ties for trading in May and July

ton by the council will not prevent
the adjustment of trade through the
clearing house. The market in other
respects will remain open. The ac-
ton by the council does not affect
trading in other future months in
wheat, oats, flax and barley.
Argentine weather favorable for
gathering of corn. Further reports
confirm a poor yield. Quality appears
fair. Movement of grain is increasing
as stocks of wheat appear larger than
expected while holding of oats appear
liberal. Shipments are light of all
commodities and it is believed that
these will continue moderate as ton

anxious for shipments of contracts al

proper tonnage r slow. 1t is believ-
ed acreage to wheat and oats will be
large as growers are attracted by pre-
vailing high prices and government
assistance in supplying good quality
of seed.

Omaha Market.
OATS HOLD ABOUT FIRM

On the Omaha market cash wheat
reached the dizzy height OF S2.32, and

wheat and the No. white corn, but
while prices on these two commodi-

ordinary grades were moving upward,
and as a result when the session of
the Omaha Grain exchange closed for
the day, wheat had been selling all
the way between SEP for the low and
$2.32, the new high. Some of the
grades were up 2 or cents, but, on
the whole, the advance was only a
cent. The receipts were f,rty-six car
loads.
There was a good demand for the
corn, l07 carloads, and prices ruled
~ to 3 cents higher than last Satur-
day, The prices ranged from $1.32 to
Sl.H per bushel, with the low only
~ cents under the previous high
mark.
Oats were more steady than the
other grains, selling 6SM and 69A
cents per bushel. Receipts were fifty

RUMBLING OF WAR
MAKES CUPID BUSY
Marriage License Clerk Makes
Eight Trips to the Court
House Sunday.
SOLDIERS GET LICENSES

Rumblings of grim war are making
brave and saddening the hearts OF
lads and lassies who usually at this
time OF the year are blithe and gay
listening to the message of the warm
spring winds, and all that sort Of
thing. War has changed the plans of
many, many people in many, many
walks Of life.
Particularly are engaged couples
fastening the signing OF the life
agreements, a fact attested to by the
rush for marriage licenses at the
court house the last twenty-four
hours and hundreds Of telephone calls
the marriage license clerk is receiv-
ing.
A rumor, similar to the one started
in Chicago last week, to the effect
that in the event OF actual hostilities
with Germany issuing of marriage IL
censes will be stopped, seems to be
sweeping Omaha. The telephone bells
in the county court have been ring
ing almost constantly since Sunday
noon. Nine out OF ten calls seemingly
are from youths and maidens who
wish to "know il it's true that they're
going to stop issuing licenses as soon
as the first real blow IN the war Is
struck" Notwithstanding the fact
that scores OF anxiousilovers are as
sured that there is no truth. to the
rumor, others continue to call up to
ask the same question:. @
Take No Chances.
Many couples are taking no
chances. One husky-looking youth
caused Clyde Sundblad, clerk OF the
county court to hurry down to the
court house Sunday afternoon. and
said that IL he was called into action
he would leave behind him wife--not
a sweetheart, Others evidently have
the same, idea Of the situation, for
business at marriage license desk has
been unusually brisk since Sunday.
Makes Eight Trips. I'
Mr.. Sundblad made eight trips to
the court house Sunday afternoon to
issue licenses to couples who lust
couldn't wait day longer" Most Of
them were young people and war
seems to have prompted their deter
mination to be married Immediately.
Several couples admitted that the
United States plunge into the great
struggle had FASTENED their wedding
plans.
Two Of the prospective bridegrooms
to procure licenses were. soldiers.
Frank L. Hath, member Of the
National Guard, took out a marriage
certificate to wed Miss Reba Hilburn
OF Onawa, la.
Patrick j. Kearney, So years old,
member of the regular army, sta
toned at Fort Omaha, was issued a
license to marry the apple of his
soldier eye--Miss Alma NJ. Nelson,
AZ years old.
The Norwegian Evangelical church
was the scene OF another wartime
wedding Sunday, when Rev. NJ. w.
Halverson united in marriage Oliver
Branch Holmes and Miss Janet Ras-
mussen. The bridegroom is a mem.
Der Of the National Guard and the
marriage was fastened when the
clouds Of war began TO gather. It
was originally set for June. The
bride isNa daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Jess Rasmussen. The bridegrooma
parents are Mr.. and Mrs. 0. H.
