CHICAGO. ILL.,. March 23,--All Of the mar
kcis started out weak today, though the con-
ditons surrounding them instead of being
bcarish were the reverse. The cause Of the
weakness judging from surface indications,
was that the recent heavy slumps have put
the professionals In the mood OF selling on
all u the strong spots, and little rally has
no terros for them. There was plenty Of
wheat for sale ut the start. May wheat
opened at 7I26Q7Ikc, selling OF In a few
minutes 10 &c. There appeared 10 be little
help for wheat, for nearly all OF the heavy
dealers sold rs the session advanced, and the
few firms who had been buying carly
stopped when they saw that the temper Of
the crowd was all one wuy. May continued
10 decline until 16,.c was reached, which Is
the lowest figure this option has ever sold at
In March. There was little reaction from
bottom figures, which Nas caused by the
covering by the small professionals who had
sold earlier, and who were trying 10 take In
