NEW YORK, May During the first
half OF todny's professional market traders
seemed TO be divided in opposing camps, ono
faction evidently fsvoring higher prices for
such speculative issues as shippings and fer.
tilizerh, while o more formidable element en-.
gagged in further attacks upon seasoned is
suts
Rails and fractions were under incessant
pressure, the movement eliminating with a
general selling movement in the last hour, the
list closing with o weak tone. Offerings of
rails were again prompted but unfayorable
warnings and the more recent attitude Of the
interstate commerce commission respecting
dividends In their relation to higher freight
rates.
The early rlso In fertilizers which aver
aged two points, resulted from the announce
ment OF the governments intention to ap-
prcpriate large sums for the purchase of nj
trates and other products Shippings and
associated shares were disposed during the
forenoon to add to gains Of lie preceding
session. but broke sharply later on reports of
further submarine disasters in tho war zone.
Marine preferred fell to 79h after rising to
s3,., and Atlantic, Gulf and West Indies
broke from 1041a 10 101.
The preripitate decline Of dividend paying
rails was the most dlsconcerting feature Of
the last half OF the session.

GRAIN.

CHICAGO. May 2.-Reports that the Ger
man chancellor had postponed speech in
which he was expected to outline new peace
terms brought about sensational advance
today in the wheat market here. After a
jump that In some cases amounted TO l7c,
the market closed unsettled at net gains of
4hc &c 12c, with May at S69IS and July
at S220h TO $22l. The other leading
staples. zoo scored gains-corn 2 ~ to IA C.,
oats v to ~ c, and provisions. 20c to 55c.
II was not until the last hour Of trading
that the wheat market went kiting in good
earnest shortly after business opened sud
den bulge Of llc in the May option had hoist
ed the other months to material extent,
but the appearance OF strength proved brief
and seemed to have no significance other
than that few bearish spectators in the
May delivery were eager to quit. The ma.
jority Of operators, however, remained under
the influence of continued peace talk and Of
favorable weather and crop reports until
newspapers were out with word that 'more
suitable OCCASION would be awaited for the
disclosures Of Gcrmant's peace plans. Then
general rush TO buy set in that lasted
in nearly full force thruOut the rest Of the
day.
Assertions that all British ships had been
rcquisitioned by the British government ad-
ded much to the impetus of the late upward
swing Of the wheat market
Corn and oats did but little more than
to reflect the changes in the course OF the
wheat market.
