CHICAGO, March 20.-The TACT that May
wheat sold on thecurb yesterday afternoon as
low as SIG, and some sales were reported as
having been made at size, together WIN the
failure of the Lehman Elevator company ~
Duluth, produced decidedly shaky feeling
among Chicago SPECTATORS, and the general
belief that the market here was gong 10
sspot'' -day. The attendance on Change
was the largest that has been known Tor
many days. and the faces OF many prominent
spectators who are not often personally
represented were seen among me crown.

adjutor, were on the floor early. Report mas

amounted to several million bushels. W men

Chicago about 600, zoe bushels, and IN Duluth
about 4 $1,000 bushels, all of which was dumped
yesterday afternoon on the break Ihe iallure
seems to have been due more TO the absence

the right time than to a lack of assets. soon
after the opening, however, May wheat,
which started at SIC, sold down to sic. Ihe
extreme weakness can be imagined When
such enormous purchases as were at the open
ing for account of the big shorts did not
stoD the decline. One house alone bought
100000 bushels, selling the same for June,
and another was nearly as large DuNers, put
even with this buying, supplemented ny
Others all over the floor, the market declined
till noon. Che report of the taking OF lO0,OOO
bushels of wheat at Baltimore was the nrst
reassuring news that anybody had. On THIS
the market turned. The close at l O'Clock
was SI1SQS2c, just about where the puts"
sold early last night. Offerings were very
largely on outside account. Commission
houses have been calling margins sharply of
late and the result has been general
shaking out of weak or tired holders. Pur-
chasing by the short interest LO-uay was
about the only visible sustaining power In
the market. Corn was active and higher. u
acted on an independent platform. Trade
was mostly in Nav, which ranged from 3o15c
at the opening TO 3S%sIGoo74c ~ IIls Close WIth
steady buying throughout the day. Oats
were unsettled and active; MAY opened at
303zc and advanced sc. Then sold down to
3OI 4C6303sc. and back TO 3oAe, where the price
rested at ] o'clock. George Ellison was the
principal buyer. and selling seemed to be
chiefly on account of Chandler. Brown y Co.
No special cause was assigned for the interest
taken in this ordinarily neglected cereal.
Provisions were dull, firm and generally
higher, although the opening gave promise OF
another day of weakness and low prices
Pork, ribs and lard closed about cents higher
than Yesterday.
