PRICE Of GRAIN TO Be
UNCERTAIN FOR. MONTHS
British and belgian Relief Commis-
sions Have Bought Up Much of
Next Seasons Crops In This
Country.

Chicago. May 6.-The price trend
for the various grains will continue
uncertain for some time to come.
There is still a considerable open In
tsrest in the May future wheat and
there is large open interest in the
July and September. AS for some
weeks past the situation in the first
named month could hardly be more
nervous as any pronounced buying
causes sensational price gains And in
case the buying is led by one Of the
larger concerns in the trade the en-
tire speculative world takes a hand
as buyers. and there is no way Of
heading off the advance which is gem
orally seen until the buying power is
fully satisfied.
The British commission has disposed
of a large part of its May holdings
and the Belgian relief commission has
also sold freely and is now considered
q small holder OF the May.
Both these interests. however. are
owners OF enormous quantities Of the
July and September futures and while
those interests have Internationally
congested the wheat situation in an
unheard of manner. a great deal OF
the sensational fluctuations may be
laid directly at their door.
The only relief expected By con-
sentative men in the wheat trade here
is for the appearance of the new crop
in large enough amounts to cause the
present longs to sell at least part OF
their wheat to secure profits within
reach. The ranges OF wheat prices
were most unusual. the May selling
between 2.55 and ESQ, July between
2lsa4 and 2.34 and the September be =
tween 1.79 and 1876. The volume OF
trade in corn and In oats was much
smaller than that in wheat and the
prices were also narrower than for
wheat.

Liberty Loan subscriptions are coming in to the local banks in steadily increasing numbers and there is every prospect that a considerable sum will be obtained by the govern l ment from this section of the world by the time the campaign is ended. Bank officials say that none of the subscriptions are large but are com
 Ing in steadily disclosing that the
 public interest in the loan is steadily
 increasing. The Alaska Bank has re-
 ceived requests for information rela-
 tive to the loan from Candle and it is
 understood that a number of persons living in that section wish to show
 their patriotism by lending some of
 their savings to the government It
 is the general expectation that there
 will be considerable increase in
 the quantity of subscriptions as a
 result of the campaign efforts to be made following the meeting called by Mayor Lomen at the city hall to-
 morrow afternoon, at which plans
 will be laid for the proper observ- ance of Liberty Day.
