Chicago, Feb. l3.-Wheat surpassed all pre-
vtous records for cheapness to-day A popular
expression OF the board OF trade is There Is
no bottom to wheat" A reaction took place
from the extreme inside hgures during the
session to-day, but it had no enthusiasm &C
companying 1t. Covering by shorts caused the
recovery and when that support was with
drawn prices again sagged. The opening was
panic Ky, first trades being made at from &c
to Nc under the close of Saturday. This de-
cline was brought about by the sensational
breaks in outside markets yesterday and by
lower English cables The selling was enor-
nous and was principally by commission
houses having private wires, the theory
being that the orders came from New York

although to some extent participating in the
early weakness Of wheat, was later governed
by a firmer and steadier feeling, The news
was about evenly divided between encourag-
ing and depressing, whilst the volume of busl-
ness was not large. Cash corn was in good
supply and moderate demand. Prices
declined 1ac but closed steady. May
closed with a net loss of lsc for the
day. Oats quiet and steady. Business was
very light aud the the range of prices narrow
The close was about &c lower than SATURDAY.
Provisions opened firm and higher on light
run Of hogs, lighter estimates for to morrow
and higher prices for tomorrow. An i'm
provement in the cash demand helps values
considerably. Shortly before the close there
were free offerings of pork and lard by
prominent commission house. and the market
declined sharply. May pork closed zoe lower
than Saturday, MAY lard 10c lower, and May
ribs unchanged to ga lower.
