4 A THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: APRIL 8. 1917. .GOVERNMENT MAY COMMANDEER GRAIN Story Beaches Omaha that Fed eral Officials Will Abolish Futures Market. TO fIX MAXIMUM PRICE Omaha grain men anticipate the . possibility of the future, or specula tiv market, being abolished by the government. Reports reached the Omaha Grain exchange, coming from Chicago, that the federal government is considering the advisability of or dering the dosing of the market on futures and tha,t the next thing In line !s to be the commandeering of the grain supplies of the country and fixing a maximum prices at which cereals and provisions shall be sold. Should the government close the Chicago Board of Trade, it is asserted that such action would automatically close every grain exchange in the country, as the prices'on grain tor ru ture delivery nade by Chicago gov erns prices elsewhere. Local grain men are non-communicative relative to whether or not the present grain prices are too high, yet as a rule they admit that they would be lower in the event the government should close the speculative markets, commandeer surplus stocks and fix the maximum price at which rsin and food supplies should be sofa. While no grain man will permit I himself to be quoted, a majority of the local ones assert that it 'would not cause them any surprise if with in ten days the government took dras tic action in reference to all grain and provisions.

''Robinson Crusoe, Jr.." with At Tol- Rains and Snows v Come to Rescue of Crops of the State The rain and snow at Omaha amounted to nearly one-fifth of an inch up to 7 a. m. Saturday. It ex tended over all the state except the extreme west. The highest precipi tation, according to the weather bu reau, was .42 of an inch, though the railroads reported some as high as one inch. It extended over the Dakoras, Minnesota and as far east as the Great Lakes; also as far south as northern Kansas and Missouri. There were also many points registering freeiing temperatures over the cbrn and wheat belt Railroad men say the rain is espe cially beneficial now because it comes right after the sowing of spring wheat. They believe also that it will save many a field of winter wheat,, giving the roots a new start and probably resulting in a fairly good crop, where a tew days ago failure was indicated. The rain will also start the pastures in good shape.
