CHICAGO, teOrQary lJ.-N neat IO'udy
fell nearly three cents a bushel ana shot
up again a cent and half, all in ten min
utes. Traders were aghast. The break
occurred without the slightest warning
Just at the close of the day. The final &C
ton in wheat came sicKening as lynch
Ing at a prayer meeting andemonium in
an instant where all ha0 been peace, the
victims quick drop and neck breaking,
taut-rope stop. Norman B. Ream seemed
TO be the leader OF the vigilantes. II was
upon an avalanche Of selling by him and
Others that tue feeling got panicky and
stOp-loss orders became abortlve, adding
to the weakness. All day previous wheat
had ruled duh and narrow. The pre-
dicted cold wave had not materlalized,
but the temperature was low in the South
west and furnished ground for some ap-
preheusiOn, while colder weather was
probable tonight over Ohio and Indiana.
II was not until about three-q quarter cents
had been expeditlously knocked of the
price that the crowd began 10 realize that
the market was receiving no support from
the clique who had been depended upon to
prevent a break. Upon that discovery
there was a general rush 10 get rid Of long
wheat, and it was found by brokers who
held stOp-loss orders almost impossible To
lind BUYERS. There was partial recovery
almost as sensational as the drop had BEEN
Kennett. Hopkins and EgglestOn came in
as heavy BUYERS when the price had its
big breaks, and the crowd, jumping TO the
conclusion that the clique were again at
work, sent the price klting back. Corn
showed increased weakness and declined
sharply. IL oats there was an active trade
and weak market. Hog products active
and higher Flour dull and unchanged
