May wheat option opened at 81 10 and
broke to 65 7-16with the close at 65 SIS,
or about at the bottom. Yesterdays
close for this option was 67 IA. Other
options were similarly affected. Corn
and oats were easy and did not sympa-

wheat. The liquidation of wheat
amounted to a tremendous total. One of
the influences in causing the break was
the rumors rejecting upon the condition
of wheat held in store. in New York and
