WEAR -PAN|C IN THE
CHICAGO WHEAT PIT
Whirl Of Stop-Loss Selling
Orders Breaks the Grain
Market; Drop in Prices.

CHICAGO, May 16.-Minutes counted
for days this afternoon on the board OF
trade In a single quarter OF an hour
values that had required fortnight to
PILE up were swept away In ,whirl OF
stop-loss selling. Surprising improve
an underlying cause
The end OF the session left traders In
a daze, with wheat prices &c TO 42c
lower than the night before, and with
the breakdown extending to all other
grain and 10 provisions as well-corn off
&c to 404sc. oats &c to 2ac and packing
house products 12lc TO S23GSoc.
Excitement In the wheat pit came to
a climax so suddenly that few ii any
speculators could escape being bewil-
dered. Unloading on the part OF the most
continued beyond any expectations, and
apparently had exhausted all the buying
power In the market. The result was TO
make prices unresponsive TO bulllsh news
and abnormally sensitive TO advices OF
the other sort. Aside from a brief period
at the start, the day was one successive
wave of weakness following another, but
until the final deluge seeming 10 be no
worse than what might again be wealth
cred.
Just when It appeared that the crisis
had passed, stop-loss orders were reached
wholesale and then prices crumbled as II
they had been scorched. In an uproar
not equalled for many a day. brokers
sacrificed property right and left, az they
thronged out of the doors of the big hall;
Not one dealer IN a hundred stopped
to notice that the chalk marks on the
blacSboards showed virtually no reaction.
May wheat being quoted 4tc to 4ac down
at 81 113 TO s1112. as against S1.16a last
night. July nuctuated during the day
from s1.OS9 to sl,1ls, with the close at
81 0S5. a sheer fall OF 2g@2lc.
Aside from the effects Of the smash OF
wheat prices. corn suffered because e1e-
vators here were turning out remarkable
quantities of the contract. grade by
cleaning and otherwise treating inferior
receipts July swung between TiH@742c
and 772@77tc, closing demoralized 2l@
o3c lower at 74sc to 75c. Cash grades
were weak. No 2 yellow was quoted at
S13@S2c.
The oats market went to pieces stimuli
taneously with other grains Outside
limits touched by July were 49ac and
52sc. with latest sales 29c net lower at
soc even.
Realizing sales by owners made pork
weak throughout the day. When the
pit cleared pork was soc TO S1s@Soc less
expensive. and lard and ribs lac to 229c
decreased In cost.

market broke sharply today. De-
clines OF three and more points
We're seen In leading Issues. In fact.
the best stocks broke the worst The
close was In the midst OF 2 healthy re-
covery. q few high recoveries were
made carly In the day. but most stocks
showed net losses at the end OF the
session. Grain broke badly, May wheat
going from SLIT TO s1.ll9 In Chicago
corn. from s1ic to 77ac and oats from
56c to 523c. Cotton was heavy. Copper
was stronger The anthracite miners
proved their readiness TO return to work
as soon AS necessary formalities can be
cleared up. Wall street has accepted
Roosevelts nomination as settled
The break was the result of n bold
raid by operators. who had sold out and
who were forced to adopt heroic meas
ures 10 get a line so they could par
ticipate In the coming advance. The big
bankers had been looking for just such
a bargain sale and did nothing to stop
It until prices began In the afternoon

Canadian Pacific sold at a new high

In favor Of ships owned by Canadian

report that Canadian Pacific would
double It's capital In order 10 pay in
creased dividends without reducing the
freight rates. The Canadian law for
bids the road paying larger dividends
than 10 per cent unless rates are re-
duced. The Germans seem to think the
government would look the other way

ter of fact, the company is planning a
sharp reduction OF freight rates about
the time the Panama canal is opened and

LOCAL MARKET FLOODED
WITH NEW VEGETABLES
AS Result General Reduction in Prices Has
Been Made; Poultry Also Is Lower

A GENERAL reduction OF prices
~ was noted on the local market
~ yesterday, although the staple
n articles remained the same that
they were q week ago. The re-
euctlons were more apparent in fresh
VeGetaoles than any other part of the
market. Poultry was a little lower in
price than 1t was a week ago and
spring chickens have given way on the
market list to hroilers which are higher
in price than they were a week ago.
Green beans were the only new things
on the market, but the vegetables In gen
eral We're more attractive and better
than they were a week ago The prices
OF meats and hsh were generally un-
changed. although butchers stated yes
terday that the price of meat proba bly,
ing the next week unless the Wholesale
