The Sudden Decline in Wheat.

New York, Aug. 14.-Wheat values
yesterday tumbled two cents from
Thursday nights close. and three
cents from Thursdays high point Of
90%c. for September The decline was
attended by heavy unloading of long
wheat. 1t piled into the market from
all quarters, influenced by weakness
abroad, particularly at Paris, where
-four prices broke 70 points from Thurs
day night. The best traders here were
prepared for the decline. but the rank
and file of bulls opposed 1t vigorously.
and even succeeded in forcing Septem-
Der at the opening up from S91a to 90.
1t was useless, however. for with un-
satisfactory news from abroad and
loss of bull leaders at Chicago prices
declined and the weakness continued
with few reactions right up to the
close. + The lowest price in September
was S7al and the final quotation So.

his departure from time to time. With
the approach Of the queens jubilee the
