CHICAGO GRAIJV AND PROVISIONS Features of the Trading- and Closing Prices on Board of Trade. CHICAGO, May 8.-Huge sales, the largest perhaps In months, broke down the prioe of wheat at one time today, 6vo 'a bushel. Fear of complications result ing: . from .the sinking of the Lusitania. had moat to do with th setback, but the bearkih crop report fronT Washington cut a good, deal of figure, and so too did renewal of war rumors about' Italy." Prices closed unsettled, Ze to 4c under last night Other net losses were: - Corn, (go to o; onta. Vic to o, and provisions, 10c to SEC37',4c . . Unloading- by holders of wheat reached the heaviest proportions in the last hour of trading, and was only checked when some of trie big export houses took to buying as If against important sales to tho seaboard or to Europe. . . It was at this time that unconfirmed reports were current' of Italy having 1 taken decisve action toward entering ins) war. ana inai the greatest apprehension was felt 4a regard to the chances of trans-Atlantlo grain shipments from the United States being temporlly brought ' to a hftlt. It was said that at least a dozen British freight ships ready to leavo for. .Europe had received orders to wait. Further uneasiness resulted from the renewal, of notice by the German em bassy against continued danger to ves sels entering the war son. On the other hand reassuring advices as to the conservative attitude of the government at Washington helped some what to rally the market at the close. Corn held up In an notable manner as compared with the .weakness of wheat Improved domestic shipping call was largely the reason for the comnaratlve strength shown. In oats as in corn, offerings were readily absorbed. There was some Inquiry from the seaboard. Provlstona tumbled with grain. For the time being, the upward slant of the hoe market seemed to bo Ignored. Closing quotations compared wttb yes terday were: . Wheat Close. Yes" y. ' 1 Rl'4 1 58 1 26 1 31 Mav July ...... Corn .

England, April 15. The "Minor Horrors of War" are described in a pamphlet written by Prof. A. E. Shipley, president of Christ's jollege, Cambridge, and former chief Instructor of the prince cf "Weles. The booklet deals with the various In sects which carry disease and discomfort among soldiers In camp or at the iront The latest methods of dealing with these "minor horrors" are discussed In simple language, aa the book Is' planned for clr culatlon among the troops. The book begins with lice, wtuch the author asserts may be more Important In this war than submarines. Tills minor horror, which Is the carrier of typhus, loves to anchor itself to the flannel shirts of the soldiers. The bedb'ig and flea are at present not under grave suspicion as dixease car riers, although the rat flea carries bu bonla fever. The flour moth gets tnta soldiers' biscuits. The house fly car ries typhoid baccilli - and by crawling over lam or floating tn milk may spread the Infection far and wlda. Dr. Shirley also discusses mltas and ticks and leeches, and discloses that "at one time ticks were very common in Canterbury ' cathedral, and worried the worshipers."

As compared with a year atfo there lias been a very heavy Increase. Ttis demand for beef steers this woek has been very good and prices showed considerable advance at one point, but the gain was lost yesterday. Thus the market at the close of the week is steadv with last week's close. A feature mat has been very gratifying to stockmen is the belter demand for heavy cattle. Light cows and heifers have beuo active sellers ail the week and fully steady. Heavy cows nave been a little slow, with the tendency lower, and thoy aro, at the close of the week, LKjIxj lower than one week ago. Veal calves nave been In good demand and are 23o higher.

Htock ers and feedeis are generally 10'ijlSc lower than last week, or lbnXxt lower than tea days ago. - btock cows of good quality are steady, but common and meuiurn grades a little lower.

It was predicted that the phenomenal potato output of this year would bo a dead loss to the growers. The beat ' potato land tn Russia 1 in Poland and ths crop was being gathered when von Hlndenburg began his rush on Warsaw, in the course of which the country was laid waste for miles. For tunately for the Poles, tho ravages of war did little harm to tho great store of potatoes safely stowed away In un derground caches. This store now pro vides practically the staple food for the Poles, and those parts of Poland which raise no potatoes are being supplied by an effective system of distribution ar ranged by tho Germans.

Besides sup plying each Australian sold lor on active service with' a uniform when he embarks on a troopship tho department engaged to supply him with a fresh uniform every three months while he Is at the front. At present tho superintendent of army con tracts. Captain J. C. Ormlston Is requir ing at once 1,112,000 yards of flannel to say nothing of 200,000 woolen undershirts and 130,400 pairs of drawers of the same material. Australia being a country which, singularity enough, exports Im mense quantities of raw wool, but has few woolen or other textile .establish - ments aa yet, tho strain upon ths existing mills Is enormous. Meantime a represen tative of tho federal government has placed orders with a single woolen manu facturing firm in New Zealand for (6,000 navy sweaters, 212,000 knitted drawers, 800,000 knitted shirts, SW.000 pairs of socks and more than a million yards of flannel. It Is doubtful, however, if all tho woolen mills In New Zealand can copa with this order inasmuch aa at present they aro doing their utmost to keep the Dominion contingents supplied with clothing of tho above description. In Sydney ths whole ot the mutton In cold storage within tho metropolitan area a supply variously estimated as numbering between . 260,000 and 800,000 sheephas been taken over on behalf of tho Imperial authorities at prices already fixed at from 8 cents to . 10'i cents a pound by agreement between the own ers and the home and tho overseas au thorities. Although the New South Wales government Is simply acting as the agent of the British government, this Is the biggest transaction of the kind that has ever been carried out in rtyuV ney. The state government la . acting under a direct request from the govern ment ln England, which was recently translated into an act of Parliament. Ths first consignment will consist of about 8,000 refrigerated sheep, but much heavier consignments will be forwarded before long. Tho Imperial government haa engaged to provide the transporta tion. Meantime the stato abattoirs at Home bush, near Kydnt-y, will very ahortly be tered at.tho rate of e.uuo dally. The New mum naica auiiiuruicg wva vei-n au vlaed that the demand for the Urlt.sli army and navy Is practically limitless. A shoe company In M -bourne Is nego tiating with the Rusalau government to supply it with i.'M,W) p1i of soldiers' shoes within twelve mopths at the rate entered Into, will Involve nearly s,04,i0.

"To ua tlreeks," said the orator, "Byron is not so much the great, poet as the hero who devoted his purse, his pen, his sword snd his life to th cause of Greece against Turkish inhumanity," In concluding, the orator referred to the present war situation, remarking amid cheers:, "Today there is but one path for Greece.
