There was five inches of rain in several parts of the eastern belt Private reports said many fields were flooded and farm work was at a standstill.

WHEAT PRICES
 ARE SHATTERED
Almost Panick Selling Pre- vailed-QuOtations Fin
 ish at a Decline

l. chicaeo. March 15.-Almost panicky selling of wheat today shattered prices. The result was to explode at least in part long cherished theories of the val,e based on estimates purporting to show a world wide scarcity of material for bread Quotations today went 3 cents bushel below the high level the beginning of the week and fn- ished at q decline of ss a 1e to ss Co Pc under last night. In corn there was 0 loss of s4q7sc to 1c and in oats a decline of ssc to ssd &e. The out come IS to hog products varied from 5c off to 2tsc up.
 Wheat began to break at the first tap of the bell The buying of eargoes to come back to Chicago from lake points. the poor cash demand and the unusually ample snow covering in the winter crop states, all tended to fright en holders and to put more stamina into the bears than had been the case for months. Continued heavy receipts in the northwest warned spectators of a bip load to be carried in May and tbere were cables telling of large ship ments without taking into account the forwarding movements from the Unit ed States.
 What scared wheat owners most ap- peared to be the strong probability that hundreds of thousands of bushels taken from Chicago to Buffalo last summer for storage might be sent back here for delivery on May contracts under such circumstances leading longs were willing to let the market suifer set back sufficient to check the stream of wheat that had been started here rom other centers because speculative prices here seemed to promise bet ter profit than from merchandising Lack of support, however, led to stop loss selling on an unexpected scale
 Generalization in the wheat pll came dangerously near, but the market ral- lied and at the windup was materially above the low point of the session. Be tween the opening and the close May ranged from $1.00@1.0S, with last transactions steady at s1.01 is Q1.O1 A, d net loss of 7s@2c.
 Despite stormy weather weakness spread to the corn crowd where big houses were free sellers. Confidence or holders was badly shattered. Feelings were not improved by word of the first shipment of corn from Argentina May fluctuated from 69%c to 711sc and closed firm, but 1 cent down at 7OS c, Cash grades were weak; No. yellow was quoted at 6S96S1so for car lots.
 Mild conditions in the wake of the storm dispersed the fear that seeding of oats would be unduly delayed. This, with the break in other grain, pulled down the market Upper and lower levels reached for May wore 53Ac and 52hc, with the close es q s4o off at 52& @52Bc.
 Selling by packers weaken hog pro ducts. Bearish action in cereals offset an advance at the yards. At tho end of the day prices averaged 21ac de- cline.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, March 5-(SpeciaI)-A very heavy rainfall In Alabama and Georgia advanced Liverpool, causing a higher opening here. Somehow there appeared sellers on that basis which supplied ths demand with the result that on very moderate volume of transactions the mar ket closed at last nights quotations on the old and somewhat lower on the new crop.
 high barometer over Texas and ths west, with indications of clear weather for several days checked the demand, to- gether with the execution of some small profit taking sales, brought about tho lower closing.
 As noted the other day, the weather conditions have maintained the market on this basis. but they have not induced enough new buying to carry 1t above the level of a month ago. Liverpool should come points lower tomorrow.
