BAD BREAK IN WHEAT
AFTER GOOD START
Peace Talk Abroad and News of
U-Boats' Approach Cause
Declines

CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-Liquidation on an
enormous scale caused a violent break In
the wheat market today, prices slumping
6b 10 csc a bushel after they had sold
above Saturdays close following n lower
start Ordinary news and influences were
lost sight OF.
The selling consisted of realizing and
short operations Longs, who had profits
left, buried to get what remained OF them.
Those who had losses were in a panic to
stop them. Shorts we're jubilant
1t seemed as though the early recovery
was nothing more than "feeler" on their
part to test the temper OF the list as they
quickly resold when they found that the
volume OF demand was limited.
While there were rallies on covering and
buying for an upturn, due TO decrease OF
702 900 bushels in the visible supply In the
United States for the weee TO 63,362,0O
bushels, there was plenty for sale.
December after selling as high as Si,77S,
fell to Sl.7lh, closing at Sl.73% 4l.73ls,
compared with Sl76S, Saturdays last
price; May, after rising TO Sla4h. dropped
TO $l.7S% finishing at Sl,S0h to $3.50,
compared with sl.S4 at the end Saturday ;
July, after selling up to sl,54A, slumped
10 Sl.4b, ending at $3.50 to sl.49Fb, against
$l,54A at the close Saturday.
Bearlsh factors were the embargo move
ment, peace talk and submarine rumors
There was a good deal OF curiosity about
the deliveries next Friday, The market at
Liverpool was duh but steady. A leading
grain authority asserted that the present
high prices were the result OF nothing more
than extravagance, and he contended that
by rigid economy 50,00O,O00 bushels OF
wheat could be saved this season
