CHICAGO, March 22-There was a gen.
eral desire to unload wheat and prices
closed at the inside figures Of the day
showing q drop OF Il cents. The market
was very active, but the feeling was decid-
edIy weak The opening was easy, with
sellers at 81 cents, but they rapidly came
around in their views until the market
touched 500 cents. During the drop there
was considerable excitement. The accept
ed theory of the break was that several big
firms were helping some Northwestern
friends out of bad box by unloading their
long wheat. Almost all big houses were
flooded with orders 10 sell and stop orders
predominsted. The break was go sharp
that all of them could be placed within ia &c
of a limit Gradually the market recovered
to SHE. Still later on there was with
drswsI of all support and 1t declined to
81 &c snd went through the same perform
auce of recovering to little over Sic, and
for the first time touched bottom at sole
