| Cilicoga. Dec. 4-Wheat today suffer-
ed the biggest drop that has been ex-
perienced for some time. The May op-
/ ton. which closed yesterday at SO $40
So rs cents, fell steadily today until 1t
came dangerously near the S9centt mark,
closing at so 7-S6S1 cents. a decline of al
most cents. Very little excitement &C
comparied the drop. Liquidation by
large holders mainly caused the sag.
