WEEKLY PROVISION
AND GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago, March 16. - Swiftness
with which stocks of corn here and
at other big centers appeared to be
accumulating has done a good deal
this week to reduce the value of the
cereal. Compared with a week ago
prices this morning were down Il
to &c. Oats showed net decline
of 21a to 31a and provisions 27 to
47c
Although at several junctures un-
due moisture and warmth appeared
likely to interfere with the acquire
ment of al Immediately available
supply suited for commercial pul>
poses, the prt vailing condition TAX
en- as a Wnoie favored a movement
far above Il ? average for this time
of year.
Oats gave way chiefly on account
of the weakness OF corn. There
were reports current of excellent
progress in seeding operations.
Provisions ranged lower mainly
because of the downward swing of
coarse grain.

WHEAT SUPPLY
REPORTED Low
Government Estimate Shows Total
Only 0ne-third of Normal Re-
quirement Until July.

washington, March 16.-Further
limitation of wheat consumption in
the United States is under consid-
Grafton by the food administration to
make. certain that the subnormal
visible supply will tide over the
American people and their allies
until the next harvest.
Plans for accomplishing the addi-
tional saving are being worked out
carefully and the only bar to sue
cess feared by officials is the sense
less boarding which may be prac-
ticed by unthinking and selfish peo-
pie.
The seriousness of the wheat stu
alton was shown today by depart
ment of agriculture report on the
supply in country elevators and
mills, which was supplemented by
a frank admission by the food ad-
ministration that existing flour
stocks are only 80 per cent of the
normal quantity needed until July
1. Food administration officials
thought the departments estimars
of $50, 900 900 bushels wheat in ele-
vators and on farms March l was
optimistic and said their best in
formation was that 125,000,000
bushels was the greatest amount
that could be expected.
The allies have been promised
90,000,00 bushels of grain between
Jan. 1 and July 1. There is no in
tention of failing to carry out this
program which is regarded as the
most important duty now confront
ing the American people. Owing to
shortage of transportation the
greater part of the export program
remains to be carried out and the
wheat must be obtained from the
scant supply in this country by
curtailment of individual consump-
ton. The only alternative to fail
ure in the opinion of food admins
tration officials is sacrifice by indi-
Viduals

PEACE MOVE
BY GERMANY.
Rumors Indicate Offer
Made to Allies at Ex-
pense of Russia.

ndSAHkIOU, uuICH 1O"IH-
ferences that Germany may
have made a new peace offer
to the allies, proposing terms
mt the expense OF Russia, coin
eide with an undercurrent of
discussion which has been rum
ming in diplomatic circles here
for some time but which never
has shown any evidence of tan
gible Development
The statement Of Lord Robert
Cecil in London yesterday that no
such proposals would be consid-
cred coupled with Marshal linden
burg's announcement that the Ger
man offensive would go on in view
Of the entente's unresponsive atti-
tude toward Germany,s peace in
tentions, served to strengthen the
view of neutral diplomats who for
some time have believed that some
sort Of underground feelers have
been going out for some time.
American officials and allied
diplomats while agreeing entirely
with Lord Cecil's statement that no
such terms can be considered gave
evidence of how much may be
known here of what Hindenburg
refers to as Germany's peace in
tentions.
Some of the neutral diplomats,
however, have for some time firmly
believed that Germany would be
willing even to give up Alsace Lor-
raine if she were permitted to re-
tain her hold on the Baltic prov
inces and the mineral belts in the
other nearby sections of Russia.
Ore Shortage Prompts Move!
The general current of opinion in
diplomatic circles for some time
has turned toward the possibility
of Germany attempting to give way
in the west and making up her
losses in the east. The extent. to
which the question Of future sup
plies of iron ore enter into Ger
many's peace plans is indicated in
latest advices received here show
ing discussion of the subject in
Germany. These show that Ger
many knows production of ore
within her own borders is limited
by experts to so years; that
Sweden contempIates an iron in
dustry OF her own which will re-
quire her own ore and that the sup
ply in Spain, upon which Ger
many also has drawn, is approach
ing exhaustion.
Germany's Last Card.
Consequently German officials
contend that her supply of ore must
logically come from the fields of
Longwy and Briey. Inasmuch as the
allies are pledged by repeated
declaration to the restoration of
France, diplomats see in proposed
permanent acquisition of mineral
belts in the Russian provinces, Ger
many's last hope of remaining a
military mower
