TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, May 17-WHEAT-Whea
prices broke much as IL cents bushel
today, mainlyzon account of assertions that
Great Britain and other entente govern
ments would sell back huge amounts of
future delivery wheat bought in the United
States The circumstance that the American
government would be expected in return to
guarantee that the British and other allied
governments would receive when needed
adequate supplies from this side of the
Atlantic did not prevent the reports of
contemplated immense reselling from hav-
ing sensational bearish effect. The me-
chanical suppression of trading as a result
of present rules, however, confined the
amount of business to scanty proportions.
Opening prices which ranged from &c to
16c lower, with July at $214 to 1922 and
September at $1.95 to $500, was followed
by many fluctuations within that range,
but then by relative steadiness at the in
itial top figures.
subsequently, announcement of re-
newed embargo by Argentina appeared to
count a little u bullish factor. The
close was unsettled Sc to lie net lower,
with July at $2.19 and September at $1.99
CORN-Corn ana oats gave way with
wheat. Offerings though were light. and
the bear side did not long attract dealers.
Corn after opening PIC off to 11Ac up, feff
to 4Ac under yesterday close and then
overcame most of the loss. Selling by
houses with foreign connections weakened
provisions. On the declines, support came
from stock yard concerns.
Warm weather tended later to make SEN
timent bearish regarding corn. The close
WAS nervous at 1c to &c net decline.

BILL TO CONFERENCE
Espionage Measure Probably Will
Emerge Shorn of Censorship.

Washington, May 17.-Whether or
not the administration presses for a
censorship law depends upon the con-
duct of the voluntary censorship dur
ing the next few weeks, it was learned
today.
1t is explained by administration Of
ficials that the original purpose of the
Gregory bill was to curb a few isolated
papers in the country who were ignor-
ing the censorship self-imposed by
other newspapers.
Meantime house and senate con-
ferees on the espionage bill begin their
work tomorrow. The house adopted a
censorship section but the senate con-
ferees have been ordered to accept
none. The administration will accept
the result of the conference report
whatever it is-until it is found the
newspapers are stepping over the
line" If this happen. the president will
again demand Censorship law from
congress.

FRATERNIZING CEASES
Once Deceived Inso Shell Fire Lesson
for Russian Soldiers.

Petrograd May 17.-Fraternizing
between Russian and Teutonic SOL
diers has stopped along practically
all the northern fronts. according to a
Nord- Sud agency dispatch, received
today.
The cessation of friendly relations
was caused by one incident which it
was said brought home to the Rus
sian troops the duplicity of the Ger
mans and the hint that the Teutons
had some Interior purpose behind
their efforts. It happened on a sec
tor of the Riga front. A certain Rus
sian regiment had withstood all Ger
man Establishments to come out and
talk over things. The position held by
this regiment was overwhelmed by as
phyxiatinS gases. intense rifle and ar
tillery fire and a hurricane of hand
grenades and trench mortar shells
Mines were exploded nearby.
German Artillery Roaring.
The Nord-Sud dispatch declared
German guns were now roaring over
a great part of the front since the
soldiers stopped fraternizing, but the
Russian army morale was being eX-
cellently maintained despite this con-
tinuous pounding.
Russian aeroplanes flying over the
Black sea harassed the enemy in Ru-
mania, compelling the Teutonic aban-
donment of the Rumania bank of the
Danube. Later, when the Germans
tried to recross, the Russian flyers
again threw them back.
The news of a Russian submarine
fotilla Smelling and silencing a bat
terry on the Bosphorus was also print
ed here today. Heavy damage was
said to have been inflicted on the
Turkish position.
