Grain Review

minutes Of excitement in the wheat
market today, the pit became as quiet
as funeral. The drastic action of the
directors Of the board in fixing Of max
imum quotations for even the Closing
out of old contracts made sharp break
In values almost certainty. and the
anxiety shown was chiefly In regard to
how far the drop might extend. That
question was quickly settled. for the
extreme decline was soon reached, IL
cents as compared with Saturdays
finish. Then the market rebounded Z
cents. and later became almost lifeless,
the crowd streaming out Of the wheat
pit and jamming the sections reserved
for dealings in corn and oats.
Opening prices for wheat ranged
from the same as Saturdays finish to
5 cents lower, with July at 500 to
$272. and Sept at s2.4o to s2.44. Then
came a descent respectively to 1888
and $2.37. and subsequent rallies to
$40 to $2.41. before the market stiff
fened out virtually comatose.
During the greater part OF the re-
msinder of the day. the wheat pit had
an appearance similar to that usually
shown outside of business hours. About
a dozen brokers stood around watching
for any new emergency developments
but otherwise passing the time mostly
in idle chat The number OF transac-
tons We're so few IS to be negligible
except for the circumstances that vast
interests We're affected by the resulting
changes in quotations.
In the last hour prices showed rally
as result Of filing Of scattered orders
to purchase. The close was unsettled at
IA to 1sc under Saturdays finish with
July at s2.59 and September at s2.oS.
Absence of buying grew so pro-
nounced at midday that wheat prices
collapsed for time as swiftly as at
the opening. At this stage July was on
to $3.50 and September at SEA fall
Of % cents to "a cents under Saturdays
close.
Corn and oats. not having been
anchored like wheat. went ballooning
right from the outset. Frightened
shorts started wildly to rush to cover
and in few moments had sent corn
high above any previous level. Corn
rose more than 10 cents and oats more
than cents. No other influences We're
seemingly considered than the eager
desire to be protected against the ad-
vance that was foreseen on all sides to
be at least temporarily as inevitable as
was the break in wheat Although at
the top Of the bulge. the corn fluctuat-
ed nervously. no important setback en-.
sued. Oats however. receded about 3
cents.
About the middle Of the session lead
ing houses served notice that for the
present no new business would be &C
cepted. Soon afterwards prices began
to fall rapidly and the volume OF trad
ing was much reduced. Later however,
the market recovered when wheat quo
tations displayed some renewal OF
firmness. The close was nervous at ga
to sac net advance.
Only in provisions was there any
thing like normal conditions prevailing.
Moderate advances were scored, but
ordinary limits were observed and the
gains seemed merely to reflect prevail
ing higher prices on hogs.
