CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, May 17.-tR-After a
show of stability, wheat prices to-
day went into another tailspin that
carried values down more than 5
cents a bushe1 at one stage, wip-
ing out the gains scored yester-
day.
News from Europe froze a weak
buying movement almost before it
could get under way, frightening
owners of grain contra acts and chill
ing would-be buyers.
May wheat fell to 86 and July
to "a, the latter within 3-4 of the
low reached yesterday at the bot
tom of the weeks sensational 25-
cent decline. Although rallying
slightly before the final bell, wheat

/ 1-8 off; rye 2 1873 3.8 down; soy
beans 1922 off and lard 3 lower
to 2 higher.
Early in the session wheat drop
ped 2 cents, then rallied to around
previous closing levels only to
slump anew about 3 cents after
midsession. There was another raj
ly, before the final break. This
erratic trade reflected nervousness
over the war but the market found
some support from mills and other
consuming interests. However,
brokers said late selling apparent
ly was similar to that which has
swept the pit all week, being
prompted by weakness Of securi-
ties.
This type of selling was blamed
by brokers on fear that the war
may cause unpredictable changes
in economic conditions or even that
hostilities may be short and con
cluded by German dictation. If not
influencing sellers, this attitude
may be d~eterring buyers from CIV
ing normal support that could be
expected after such a rapid decline.
The bhtzkreig caught the wheat
market top heavy with weekly held
contracts due partly to the fact that
liquidation Of approximately 140,-
600, 900 bushels that had been under
government loans was absorbed the
past few months. Risk of owner
ship of this grain was transferred
from the government to private in
terests and much OF this risk was
Put on the futures market, which
is normal practice.

NEW YORK COTTON

NEW jim way lI.-hJ-lne
cotton futures market plowed
through feeble buying opposition to-
day and dropped 8 to % points.
After a briskly higher opening
due to steadiness at Bombay and
Liverpool, gains soon evaporated
when a sudden reaction in the Eng
fish market put prices down the
allowed limit.
Traders brushed aside all guide
lines but war news and with more
and more pessimism surrounding
the reports from abroad, little re-
sistance developed to the steady
trek downward. 10y ~"
About the only consistent buying
that developed was the outgrowth
of increased activity in cotton tex
tiles during the morning.
Foreign selling, slow to appear at
the start, increased in tempo when
liquidating orders rolled into the
Chicago wheat pit and Wall street
securities markets and further I'M
settled cotton.
The furry of cloth business in
Worth street was done chiefly at
the expense Of prices. Sales of
print cloths, estimated at around
5000, 900 yards, were attributed
mainly to covering against govern
