CHICAGO. Feb. 25.-The sharp break in
wheat yesterday was followed to-day by
/ heavy selling, under which the market broke
at the close Of the afternoon session TO Sic for
May, or SEC under the top prices of yester-
/ Gay. Various causes were ascribed for this
result, but the melting one was the prospect
Of continued liberal receipts and the small
export movement. Among the rumOrs of the
| day was one that the government statement
would show decrease of only per cent. in
/ the wheat acreage as compared with last
wear, and another that the French Govern
ment had finally decided upon a heavy i'm
| port duty upon American wheat and rumOrs
| of a failure at the East. These were success
slvely urged, and the market responded in
each instance. The decline of yesterday
| afternoon brought out good many selling
orders at the opening, and as the prices Tor
/ NAV approached SIC, great quantities of "lOng
| stun were thrown upon the market on stop
/ orders. After a firm opening on the after
/ noon board prices again began to fall OF
quickly, and the closing figures were the
| lowest. Corn responded in only a limited
way, and the closing figures of the day show
/ only a slight decline. Oats ruled steady
while pork and lard closed a shade higher
/ than on yesterday.
