BIG DROP IN PRICE OF WHEAT
Rumania's Entrance Into European
War Sends Speculative Values
TumblinG in Chicago Market

Chicago, Aug. 29.-Abrupt widening
of the European war zone today sent
wheat values tumbling almost as if
the market had no bottom. The ex-
IRENE fall in prices was eleven and
one-fourth cents, an amount virtually
a parallel to the extraordinary rise
witnessed two years ago on the day
that hostilities began. Transactions
today as then, were ON a huge scale,
measured only in millions of bushels.
Rumania's declaration of war was
generally coupled with the prospect
that Italy was about to participate &C
lively with the new recruit in a fresh
effort to force the Dardanelles. Word
late in the session that actual fight
ing already had commenced on the
Rumanian frontier set the wheat pit
here nearly frantic, and was followed
by wild close at the lowest prices
of the day.
Throughout the day the increased
chances of a general railway strike in
the United States added to the excite.
ment of wheat traders
