GRAIN

CHICAGO, March 7.-Chances that
German imports OF grain from the
United States through Holland and
other countries might be brought to
halt had a bearish effect on to-day's
wheat market here, as did rains in
the domestic wheat belt. The close was
heavy, 2a4 to az cents net lower. with
March at $1.67n to S1.67S. and May
al s1.59 to s1.59A. Corn lost u to IS
cent and oats ss to "a to Is cent. Pro-
visions outcome varied from 10 cents
decline to cents advance.
Until to-day renewal OF clashing be-
tween Germany and the Allies had been
construed generally as a bullish factor
in the wheat pit, but definite announce
ment that military measures would be
taken tomorrow failed to cause any
fresh advance OF prices. On the con-
trary attention became chiefly directed
toward the view that from no other
cause than financial disturbance the
German break with the Allies would
tend to restrict or perhaps stop alto
gether the roundabout movement Of
supplies from the United States into
Germany. Much selling pressure here
followed. and that market declined
sharply at the last. During earlier trad
ing wet weather in tho Southwest put
bulls at disadvantage, but consider
able rallying power was apparent up to
the time that orders for allied troop
movements oclipsed all else.
Corn and oats went down grade with
wheat. despite sales OF 100000 bushels
OF corn to the seaboard.
Lower quotations on hogs made pro-
visions decline. but estimates that to-
| morrow's hog arrivals would be light led
| to something Of n rally.
