CHICAGO, August l. The sensational
collapse in wheat prices Of late was eclip-
sed on the Board too by bigger tum-
BILE in provision values, caused by the fail
ures of the men who have been manipulate
ing the market for some time past. Pork
was the first article TO burst into activity
this morning The price of September
pork, which was nOminally Sl9.25 at the
close Of the market yesterday, dropped
TO $40 30 in the course Of the first hours
trading. 1t was known among the provis-
ion brokers on the curb before the market
opened that there would be trouble in the
pork pit. For several days the leading
operator Ia the pork deal had been slow in
putting up margins, and as he was credited
with carrying some $4,000 barrels of that
commodity 10 was believed 10 be only a
question Of time when the striugency
would compel him to let CO. 1t was at
once seen that he had lost control when af-
ter half an hour Of the session had passed
Secretary Stone announced that j. q.
Steever * Co., Z. W. Bailey & Co. and A.
C.. HelmhOlz, brokers TOR Wright, had or
dered their trades closed. II then became
simply matter Of consideration as to
what was the value Of pork measured by

settle down 10 an opinion that
somewhere in the neighbOrhOOd
to Sll per barrel was ABOUT
what il was worth. The amount Of bust
ness done was limited, compared with
what might have been expected from such
an enormous depreciation in value, but the
facts seems to have been that there was
very little open interest in the market. as
the trade had for months warned their Gus
toners away from it. When trading com
menced the state Of uncertainty was such
that an offer to buy 25O barrels Of Septem-
ber pork at Sl9 per barrel met with no re-
Spouse from sellers. The bid was immedi-
ately withdrawn and the first transaction
was in $50 barrels at SlS.55. Then il drop
ped about soc per barrel on each fresh sale
down TO SIG The announcement Of the
failure of the North American Packing
Company q little later brought the price
down 10 SO. 1t recovered TO $ll.75 aud
then settled down again 10 Sill From this
figure II recovered slightly, when at Sl235
the trade was suddenly parayzed by
the announcement that all trades
