while wheat followed with drop Of 1c, oats &c,
pork .UGf::.:!:c, and lard l.::c. There was some
reaction later, but most OF the markets uEnin
turnc,l down. and the closing feeling was tame.
A goon many longs were closed out Oh exhaust
ca margins; large selling orders from outside,
mostly from the East caused the early break.
and the local crowd took up the refrain where
/ those LETT OF, the trading being mostly
local after IL o'clock. There is reason TO
believe that capital took hold ex-
tcnsivcly the break; and some
parties may have sold short during the excite
n,ent more than was good for thcm- There was
more disposition to take hold of grain fur ship
mcnt, hut rail room was scarce. The markets
got down to something like u shipping basts> but
foreign ouotatlons may be expected to follow
ours downward. Milwaukee was reported to be

shipments. Mess pork closed 10G:0c lower at
