CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago May l6.-The speculative pendulum in
the wheat pit had a broad swing today. The July
future sold between 2ls and 20 and the September
between Les and 2l3, with the highest prices for
both futures at the opening. These with wheat for
sale shoveled It into the pit In guOdly quantities
and the lowest prices Of the session were reached
Scattered shorts attracted by the lowest prices
in several weeks and they bid the July up TO ? %
and the September to 2O7, with resting spot for
the day. showing net losses Of Il cents for July
weather throughout the winter wheat belt was re
hected in the early sales and the sharp break during
the morning was more because Of the lack Of buying
power than Of any great pressure.
There were sales Of 5000 bushels cash wheat 10
exporters and 1000 bushels TO millers today show
ing that on the soft spots to mAterialze importing
nations will continue to buy wheat in a. large
amounts offered.
Cash wheat was % to IS cents lower than the
ruling prices Of Tuesday, but recovered about 20
cents of this loss at Chicago. Number hard sold
az low as $50, but later It was bid 500. More
wheat was offered from the country to arrive than
the trade had seen in quite a long period.
As the corn sold of during the morning Il was
picked up by representatives Of Eastern houses as
we'll as By local and Eastern manufacturers. Hedg-
ing sales in oats were apparent. Cash handlers
absorbed the July and considerable Of the carry
loss in this market regAined before the end Of
the session. The crop news was hattering.
The buying Of hog products was led by brokers
acting for packers but the offerings exceeded the
demand and there were net losses for the day Of S
TO % points The selling was scattered.

STOCK LIST CLOSES
five POINTS Higher
Steel Leads Scoring Advance of 4 l-S
Notches-Russian News Aids.

(By the International News seryIee.)
New York, May 16.-Russia dominated
the stock market again today. but II was
good news this time and 1t did not come
from Russia but from washington The
result was that shorts were driven to
cover and the market closed from point
TO points net higher. Steel was the
leader throughout the session, scoring an
advance Of Ais points and closing at the
top.
The Russian news was to the effect
that the government of the United
states had loaned 800. 100000 to Russia on
condition that no separate peace be made
with Germany. 1t was street gossip that
Russia had made terms with Turkey un-
der such conditions that Germany would
approve and that all the allies were to
be invited by Russia to participate in
peace conference.
Another report was that the Treasury
Department at Washington had decided
to consider Russian bonds as available
collateral dong with other securities for
deposit by banks taking out circulation.
This report was actually in circulation
and caused considerable buying of these
bonds. Rubles also turned strong.
July wheat was at one time "a cents
bushel lower than yesterdays close. No
transactions are permitted except TO close
contracts. Despite this action on the part
OF the exchanges the price Of -four in
New York was quoted S2.5 barrel above
the price CT last Saturday, S1S75 a barrel
being now demanded by leading line of
stores. Even at that only limited
amount will be sold to one person. Pota-
toes are sold at 10 cents a pound at the
same stores.
Part OF todays enthusiasm in the mar
ket was no doubt due to the decision of
bankers to get behind the Liberty loan
and make It a huge success. 1t was
rumored that some propose to pay divi-
dends this year in loan bonds, thus max
ing every stockholder a bond holder.
Closing Of the produce exchanges to
speculation is sure to drive grain specu-
lators into the stock market and one of
the most successful of them was named
today as the most aggressive buyer of
