CHICAGO. Feb. 27.-The leading articles in
tO-day's markets were generally weak. and
during the latter part OF the morning session
recorded a sharp decline, especially in wheat
in which there was an unusual trade, divided
IN small lots between the general crowd: 9th
er articles followed in sympathy; receipts
were a little better, but weather influences
had more to do with the decline; the close of
the session was weak at bottom prices. Wheat
was very much unsettled, and. as a whole
quotaby weak; the opening was slow bv rea-
son of last nights sharp decline, but soon af-
ter trading began sharp demand sprang up,
which advanced prices &c; when May reached
1934(G19Ac a long line Of long wheat was
bought out, and This broke the market pc
there being few if any recOveries after the
down turn set in; everybody had wheat for
sale between ~ and O'Clock, and the market
being entirely without support, recorded a
sharp and rapid decline; the close at | O'Clock
was weak at bottom prices; No. 2 spring sold
down from 745zc TO 7412c for cash. Corn felt
the depression less than was expected, and re-
corded itself as n slow, responsive market:
few trades OF note were made, the bulk of at
tenton being absorbed by wheat; No. 2 cash
corn was quoted at from 3Sc down to 37sIc.
the opening in corn was at less of a decline
than in wheat, being only sc, from which
there was an advance early Of nc, but later
the tone became easy, and during the Iast
hours ruled but little better than wheat Oats
were in greater receipt by 40 or so cars Than
were expected, and eased OF in both the spec-
ulatiVe and sample market; all quotations eX-
cept May were little better than nominal
Provisions were easier and lower all round
opening on by l0c in pork and % points in
lard, and in no case advancing more than
fraction above first quotations; the PRINCIPAL
strength, and this only of a comparative ma
ture, was during the first hour of the session.
as the day advanced, prices dropped OF
through free offerings and in sympathy with
the grain list; at ! O'Clock the market was
heavy at the lowest points Of the day
