prices tumbling down as much as Az
cents bushel compared with last
night Corn lost "a cents, oats 2H
and pork so cents.
The excitable action OF the market
was due to the fact that heavy sales
of wheat by two prominent concerns
for the last two days gave the trade
too much of load to carry. In the
end the resulting weakness spread to
other staples and led to general
smash in prices.
1t was estimated that as much as
O.OOO. 900 bushels OF wheat had been
unloaded on the market within forty
eight hours and that half OF the total
had come from a widely known specu-
