Probable renewal of the difficulties between the United states and Germany had a bearish Influence on wheal today and emphasised weakness that result ed from a let up In domestic demand. The close was heavy, 1 to 3c net lownx. with May at $1.78 to 1.78. and July at $1.48 to 1.48. Other leading simples, too, all showed a setback corn. lo to 1: oats c to 1, and provisions, 23 o to $0. Although it was known long before noon that the German defense tor the slnkins of the Arabic presented a chance that the United States government waa to take different view of facts, wheat traders did not seem much Impressed with any sense of danger until the last fifteen minutes of the session. Then a Washington message saying that a bJagak with Germany over tha Arabic might occur at any time led to a selling drive in which prices crumpled rapidly. Apparent complete absence of fresh export business had been a previous source 01 oppression, wniuo was aided by roreoasts or large snipmenta rrom Austra lia, and by a talk of lack of adequate raim- ber of freight carriers on the North At- t .antic. Prospects that export buying, which since the first of the week had been on a big scale would continue yday, seemed bright at first, but dwindled to nothing In the end. Temporary advances In tho price of wheat accordingly xortnea the rule In the morning hours, and were haloed bv word that ships would be withdrawn from the Argentine trade, presumably for trips between North America ana Europe. Imrresaed country offerings put corn on the downgrade, together, with the weak ness of wheat. Rainy weather acted as only a. transclent offset. Oats gave way wlthother grain. Scarcity of cars tended to restrict demand from the seaboard, al - thoriigh exporters were, said to have dls puried or .240 0vO bushels. Provisions tell In response to a decline In the hog market. Packers were conspicu ous on the selling side. Chlcagos,Cash Prices Wheat: No. 2 red. $1.$0; No. 3 red. nominal; No. 2 hard, nominal; No. 3 hard, $1.61.

Greevy, secretary" of he United Improvement clubs, declines to relinquish his position or turn the records of the organization over to rred B. Martin, who was elected Wednesday evening to succeed Mr. Greevy. "I was elected secretary to serve until June 7, 1917, and the action of the club Wednesday evening was not regular. The vote to oust me was made by three of twelve clubs affili ating with' the United Improvement clubs, these three clubs being known as K. B. Howell clubs. Back of the action to oust me is the charge that I worked for the five-year street lighting contract, which I did and had the right. I am going to serve as secretary of the club until my term shall have ended next June," said Mr. Greevy. Mr. Martin intends to serve as sec retary, which will give the UnHed Improvement clubs two secretaries.
