CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, May 14.-R)-Dollar
wheat was wiped off the nations
grain boards today as all contracts
plummeted the full 10-cent permits
sible limit and closed at the lows.
Other grains fell with wheat.
German successes in Europe, which
led some traders to entertain
thoughts of an early peace and
which added to nervousness that has
been mounting since the westward
drive started Friday, were the direct
cause of liquidation such as has not
been seer in years.
The break on the board of trade
was the sharpest in seven years
since July 20, 1888, when the market
collapsed Is to IS cents. There were
no limits on fluctuations then.
Wheat here fell to the lowest level
since February this year and under
the dollar mark for the first time
since the middle of March. July
contracts tumbled to and closed at
95 SIS, compared with a season high
of Sill IA April %. Since Ger
many invaded the lowlands wheat
has lost around Is cents.
All wheat contracts at Kansas City
and Minneapolis closed at 10-cent
limit losses while Winnipeg finished
4 1925 Is lower.
May wheat here closed at IS ga.
Corn finished 4 3-4-5 IL down, May
81 ga, July 81 1862 is; oats 3-3 rs
down; soy beans 8 down; rye 10
down; lard SO-S7 cents a hundred
weight lower.
Wheat sales were almost deadlock
ed at the maximum losses in late
trade, only a few transactions being
made in May contracts. Earlier
downturns, which started with an
opening drop of 1 IL cents, had
brought forward some support, based
partly on improved mill demand.
Sales for shipment to mills were es-
timated at 10000 bushels.
Corn prices, steady during much of
the earlier trade, slumped with
wheat to within a cent of it's Scent
limit, but recovered part at the close.
Some corn buying was credited to
cash interests and against sales of
wheat on the theory that the techni-
cal condition of the corn market
was better than that Of wheat. Corn
shipping sales totaled 5000 bushels
and only $4,000 bushels were booked
to arrive from the country.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE

NEW YORK, May 14.-QP-A raj

highly cratic foreign exchange mar

The upturn was in the face of war
news which financial circles regard
ed as highly unfavorable to the AL

change traders felt the rebound was
not unnatural in view of Mondays

NEW YORK, May 14.-F-Bond

ingly to the bearish sentiment, clos
ing as much as 1 1892 points down.
Trade in the federals was small,
however, with attention centered
mainly on corporates.

y. S. Perfects Defense
Against Parachute Drive

DAYTON, O., May 14-CP-Wright
Field U. S. army officers said today
the war department has studied for
about four years plans to combat
possible attack by parachute troops.
The officers, insisting on anony.
nifty, said defense tactics have been
perfected but must remain secret.
Germuny's blitzkreig in Belgium
and the Netherlands indicates. they
said, that the Nazis vastly improved
parachute tactics initiated by Rus
sid in Finland.
The army men explained that Ger.
mar soldiers leap from transport
planes at low attitudes, whereas the
Russians jumped at 1000 or more
feet and exposed themselves to ma
chine gunners below.
