GRAIN TAKES TUMBLE.
Depression o. Sterling Exchange
Causes Big Drop in Prices.

BY Associated Press.
Chicago, Sept. 14.-Big breaks in
the price of wheat corn and oats
took place today, started by acute
depression of sterling exchange.
Wheat dropped as much as Ok cents
a bushel and closely partly demoral-
ized at the bottom figures of the
day, s2.39A to s$2.40 fo- the Deem
ber delivery and s2.36k for March,.
The smash in prices carried corn
down 5% cents and oats 55B cents.
Shutting down several food manufac-
turing plants added to depression,
and SO too did reports that on in
structions from Europe seaboard
wheat exporters had suddenly with
drawn from the markets. Besides,
there were indications that rural
holders of corn were Hquidating,' in
fluenced by prospects of a huge crop.
The greater part of the decline
came just before the market closed.
Prices tumbled rapidly in the absence
of any aggressive support.
