He takes the position that the pres

continue to be the foundation of

he thinks 1t should be. the substi-
tute should be in the form of an

Representative Longworth, of
Ohio, a Republican member of the

tee. who already has introduced a

involving a total loss in revenue
of sS0e. 100000. He estimates that

Representative Good, of Iowa
chairman of the House Appropria-

standpoint. Instead of trying to find
substitutes for Objectionable taxes
he has gone on the theory that nc
immediate attempt should be made

NEW YORK, March 7.-Rejection

In the face of considerable selling

chiefly to buying by Liverpool and

DEPRESSES GRAIN
Closed German Markets Are
Seen as Result of Pros
pective Invasion.

CHICAGO. March IA combina-
|tion OF weakening influences from
the Southwest and the bearish con-
struction placed on the report that
the allies were to enter Germany
to enforce their demands had a de-
pressing effect on grain values and
they closed at about the inside
prices. with net losses of to 3hc
on wheat, sc on corn, S to &c on
oats, to 1Kc on rye and &c higher
for barley.
Rains over the Southwest. where
they were most needed, will help
the wheat crop there. Higher tenn
peratures are developing the lady
bugs, which are devouring the
green bugs. and the latter are said
to be doing no damage of conse-
quence to the wheat crop. The
Santa Fe report said conditions
were good. and Goodman made the
condition of winter wheat S6, COM
pared with S3.2 as the five-year
average.
Weakness in Kansas City with an
increase of $4,000 bushels in stocks
there last week, combined with a
slow export and milling demand in
all sections and offerings OF wheat
from Omaha and Kansas City at
relatively lower prices compared
with the March, were the real
causes for the weakness. To make
the situation weaker. there was the
report that the allies would invade
Germany. which the traders con-
strued as meaning that Germany
would buy no more wheat in this
country. At the same time others
asserted that the allies would have
to buy more in case of renewed hos
tilities.
Corn Prices Hold Well.
Corn prices held well considering
the break in wheat. Prices held
within a range of 1 cent with the
close around the lowest 20 to 70S
cents for May. At II cents good
supporting orders were in evidence
which held the market there but
buyers were filled up at the last by
local operators and commission
houses. Country offerings were moi
large and export sales $4,000 BUSH
els and domestic sales $1,000 BUSH
els. Arrivals were 6s1 cars. Local
stocks increased $50, 900 bushels last
week and are 11.125,000 bushels
The total is 23.741,000 bushels
