GRAIN MARKET.
1Rv Disnatch A. p. Mirel

CHICAGO, Sept. 2-Wheat underwent
a sharp break in price today during the
final hour, with May delivery touching
the lowest level yet this season. A
new bearish private estimate on the
1926 Canadian yield of wheat was
largely responsible. Closing quota
tions on wheat were heavy 2 to &
cents net lower; corn 11s to 13s cents
down; oats a shade to 3s cent off, and
provisions at to SO cents decline.
The finish in the wheat market was
at virtually the days bottom figures
Heavy selling. on the part of houses
with eastern connections went hand in
hand with the upset in values. Ac-
cording to the newest unofficial fig
ures Canadian prairie provinces this
season will harvest 403, 900 bushels,
an amount more than 100000 bushels
in excess of some predictions currBnt
only two months ago. A forecast of
better weather in Canada contributed
to the late weakness of the market.
"A surprising. feature of the wheat
trade today was the circumstance that
the price setback in the face of big
export buying that totaled 100000
bushels, mostly Canadian. Early in the
day, too, there had been much talk of
delay to threshing in Canada and pos
sible crop danake as a result of rains
