1ODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, June 3.-CORN-ExcelIent crop
prospects had a besrish effect today on
the corn market. Illinois crops In partic-
ular were said to be ten days ahead of
the average at this time of the year. En-
larged receipts and favorable weather tend
ed also to weaken prices. Opening figures,
which ranged from nc decline to &c ad-
vance, with June $1.31 and July 1.33M to
$1.33&,. were followed by a material set
back all around
Sinking of vessels off the American coast
led subsequently to a eharp break in
prices. A rush Of selling carried the mar
ket to the lowest level yet this season. The
close was nervous, INC to PFC down. with

ASKS naval HELP
Hindenburg Urges That Sea
Forces Aid Land Drive.
He Believes This Necessary Pc
Attain a Victory.
BY CARL D. GROAT.

BY CARL D. GROAT.
Washington, June 3.-Hindenburg
is making a new effort to have the
Teuton navies back his land work, ac-
cording to advices here today. He is
urging that. regardless of the cost,
they attempt to cripple the British sea
power. Only by this means, according
to the argument he is reported to be
making anew, can the entente be ac-
tually crushed.
This is similar to the argument he
used during the other drives. The navy
department here was advised then of
the struggle Hindenburg was having
with Won. Capelle. And, at that time,
responsible officials here believed that
Hindenburg would prevail. They
pointed out he did not care about loss
of ships. particularly II there was a
ghost of a chance of the sea offensive
being successful and thus crowning
his CORY efforts on the land.
That he may prevail eventually was
the view of some here today.

General Wood had expected to go to

at the last moment was ordered TO
Camp Funston to train another divt-

At the request of the troops, 1t was
learned today, General Wood, before
departing for Camp Funston, reviewed
the division at an army camp here and
made a brief speech to the officers.

them. and those who heard him said
his voice trembled with emotion. but

hard with you and you have done ex-
to take you over to the other side. In

THE orders have been changed and
I am to go back to Funston. I wish
you the pest OF luck ana ask you to
keep up the high standard of conduct
and work you have in the past. There
isn't anything to be said.

what we are here for, that's what you
have been trained for. I shall follow
your career with the deepest interest,

Chicago. June 3-The Tribune: Grain
Grain traders have been too bearish on

bears has enlarged greatly of late and they
have pressed their advantage too strongly

condition. The technical situation of the
market is such that 1T was easily rallied
with an increase in the buying power. The
latter. however, came mainly from traders
who were bearish when the ma jority of the
local professionals were bullish and thought
1t best to take profits as they were getting
too much company on the selling side. Short
covering left the market technical
ly weaker unless there should be an in
crease in the outside buying. There has
