Ffuctuations In the wheat market yester-
day were the most violent experienced In the
market since the period OF excitement which
followed tho announcement last November
that Canada had commandeered 2o.0OO.OOO
bushals OF wheat. At the outset there was
an upturn OF SO to lie a bushel. on scat
tered buying. on steady cables, and on
smaller shipments from Argentina. as well
"a on evidence Of further buying Tor export
account.
The political situation and the weakness
I'm the stock market caused feeling OF 20
nounced nervousness, however. and the liqui-
dalton was general. Selling pressure in
creased as the market declined, owing TO the
uncoverinR OF stop-loss orders, and toward
the close of the day values sank very rap
idly and the market became demoralizcd. Az
the low point of the day values showed q
perpendicular drop Of 6lsc toi 'ic from the
high point OF the morning. and at the close
there was only a slight rally. with final quo
tations sc 20 5s.c below the close OF Wedne5-
dag.
At the decline the market was ut the low
est point touched since about the middle OF
December. and represented loss of l3stc 70
Ike from the nigh point Of the season
made on January %. Exporters we're In the
market, and total sales Tor the day were
placed AZ about 1000 900 bushels, but most
of the business was in Canadian wheat.

crate early advance. prices declined SHARPLY
and at the close Of the day were / sc 20 lesc

Western points. but there appeared 70 be
considerable pressure of low grade corn on
the market. and Chicago reported that about
SOC. 600 bushels had been placed in store
there, owing TO a lack Of cash demand. In
the local cash market No yellow corn was
quoted at s52i N s6i4c c. /. T. New York.
