CHICAGO, March 3.--Wheat came down
with crash to-day. IL was near the end
OF the session. ana it was the outcome Of
semi-panic caused by a number Of longs
simultaneously attempting to snatch the
profits, when the market reached 19c for
May, an advance of &c over last nights
closing figure. The price almost shot
down from 79c to 775Ec. losing all to-dsy's
advance and nc additional. Trade was
large in the aggregate, but spasmodic and
the feeling nervous. Although there was
good buying at times by outsiders there
was not the general demand from ''shorts"
that cut such figure Yesterday. There
was good selling by some Of the largest
shorts" In the corn pit the offerings OF
a few prominent operators proved too much
for prices, which sold down, closing at the
lowest point of the day Oats closed easy
at about the inside prices. The provision
market was fairly active. Flour dun and
