Der of orders to sell May wheat today

ferings reached large amount but the
total was entirely out Of proportion to
the demand so that a collapse In prices
was the inevitable result. At the de-
cline, sellers withdrew and the market
rallied In an cratic fashion. Other fu-
lures weakened after a show Of firm
ness at the outset. Large world ship

the bulls. The opening varied from Is
