WAVES OF SELLING MARKET IS SHORT BRING BIG FALL OF OYSTERS AND IN WHEAT MARKET FISH SHIPMENTS

CHICAGO, Feb. 16.-Waves of sell ing that totaled well into millions of bushels brought about a sudden fall of values in the wheat market today. The bulk of the selling was ascribed to eastern interests which until today had clung to hopes of the enactment of an export credit bill at Washington. Prices closed weak, 9 to 41sc net lower, with May s1.19% to s1.2o and July. s1.14% to s1.15. Corn lost M to 1hc, oats ssc to %c and provisions Do to 12c.
 At first, the wheat market showed apparent strength with a moderate amount of buying. Upturns in prices however. went no higher than 1 cent, and lasted only an hour. From then on the selling came in such volume that the descent of prices was prac- tically unchecked. and the finish was at the lowest level reached.
 All of the recent gains were wiped out by the drastic setback today. Ru- mors that there had been a settle- ment made privately between eastern longs and western shorts brought forth prompt denials. May wheat led the decline and 1t was this delivery in particular which was affected chiefly by selling orders from the east. Ac- cording to current gossip the greater part of the holdings liquidated today were closed out at profit.
 Corn and oats were governed by the action of wheat. Rains in Ar genta had some bearish effect.
 In the provision market the in- fluence of higher prices on hogs was more than counterbalanced by the weakness of grain.

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-The market seems to wander without ,impeling motive Fluctuations are narrow but around level about 10. points above yes terday. There is selling ipressure. but on the other hand buying wanes on slight advances. There has been some short covering today and perhaps a little trade buying but not sufficient to reflect more than n steadiness in the market.
 We think a moderate adva nee might oc- cur should shorts attempt to cover little more freely, but beyond this there is no active agency in sight to favor the mar ket.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 15.--When stock trad CTS who cashed in their profits on Wed nesdey tried to get their stocks back, they found very little for sale and at adyanc- ing prices. As long as each days reports show improvement in most lines of indus try even with an upturn in the price of money, holders of securities no reason to part with them at present levels.

The weather map showed general below zero temperatures over the entire wheat belt and Continuation of the same. The con- ditions are decidedly menacing to the plant and are causing much apprehension. In the face of the weakness in wheat, corn gave remarkable account of itself. Closing losses are only 1c to 1%c. This cash situation is bound to ultimately af feet futures and in opinion cash is tightening daily. We believe this decline an excellent opportunity to make pur- chaSes.
