CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Wheat Prices Drop Six Cents on Announce
ment Of DIPLOMATIC Break.

Chicago, Feb. s.---wheat prices shot sky
ward today after a down plunge Of cents,
The rise following amounted to II cents,
the greatest change values have shown In
single day since the beginning Of the
European war Excited buying on the part
Of the spectators who had over-esttmated
the depressing effect OF severance of
American relations with Germany was
The close was wild In wheat at $lS77s q
l.6S% for May and tl.+7* @l.+sk for July,
with last trading as whole 3A 97&c above
yesterdays finish.
Corn wound up at a new advance of q
Nc and oats with a gain Of sole, In
provisions the result varied from &c decline
to rise of &C.
Demand for wheat on account OF prices
largely came from houses that were said
to have sold short millions OF bushels before
notice was received Of Germanys decision
for a renewal Of unrestricted sea war The
same concerns were also conspicuous sellers
today.
Efforts to even up short sales Of wheat
and to get out of the market before the
week end were conducted on a huge scale
by the minority who were caught on the
bear side. There also was considerable
amount of fresh buying due to unfounded
rumors that Germany had offered to make
concessions to the United States. Some bull
sertions that with the navies OF England.
France and the United States patroling the
ocean, shipping would be facilitated, rather
than hampered. From all these causes COM
bined, eagernss to buy continued till the
gong cleared the pit and left final quota
tions within Nc of the highest level OF the
session.
Corn and oats, like wheat, displayed TEN.
porary acute weakness In response to the
news Of the diplomatic rupture with Ger
many. There seemed. however. to have
been no need for such extensive short COW
ering later, as in wheat. The widest changes
In feedstuff values did not reach &c.
Provisions gave way as much as SIC in
some cases. owing to the disclosure of the
stand taken by the government at Wash
ington. In the end. though. the market
averaged exactly the same as before rela-
tons with Germany were cut.
