Chicago, July 2O--CUPJ--The wheat pit of the Chicago board of trade turned to bedlam to-day in the midst of terrific gyrations in wheat prices that plunged 26 cents Q bushel below yesterdays highs before the decline was halted.
 At the close wheat was 13 to s15A cents lower. corn 12 to 13N cents lower, oats 7M cents lower, rye 2Ik to 25% cents lower.
 Perspiring brokers peeled off coats and rolled up their shirt sleeves as they fought to unioad hun dreds of thousands of bushels of Kyain on an almost bottomiess marltet.
 So intense was the confusion that different quotations were be- ing offered simultaneously in vari- ous parts of the pit.
 The close came at the days low point. July wheat futures at Chi- caEo sold at 90 cents. September at 91 cents, December at 95s cents and May at an even [ q busheL y
 Corn prices toppled to 46 cents a lsusf1el for July, 53 cents for September. 56 E for December and 63h cents for May. Oats was down to 35 cents for July, S4h cents for September, 37 cents for December and 41 centsg for- May Rye, which made the widest drop. plunged to 50 cents for July, 61 cents for September, 72A for De- cember and 81h cents for May.
 The session was the widest seen since the panic of october. 1929, and the war markets of 1917 and 1920.
 Rallies occurred from time to time but so terrific was the hood of selling orders that. brokers la bored under veritable avalanche in attempting any effort to halt the decline.

 CT than it had been in any other year since 1917. The output was distributed between lodes and placers approximately in the proportion of 46 to 54-$4,- 687 ,00 from lodes and $5, ,522,- 900 from placers. Nearly three-fourths of the lode out put came from lodes in south eastern Alaska.
 The output of placer gold was about two-thirds of a mill lion dollars more than in 1881. Camps in the Yukon basin con- tributed the greatest amount, and those in Seward Peninsula came next. Nearly 87 per cent of the output was mined by dredges, of which 25 were act ive-11 in the Yukon valley, 13 in Seward Peninsula, and 1 in Kuskokwim valley. Total dredge production was S4,293,- 900, their recovery averaging about 41.6 cents cubic yard.
 The output of copper was s. 738,000 pounds, or nearly 14,- 000,000 pounds less than in 19- 31, and it's value was about 100000 less than in 1881.
 Silver, recovered as a minor constituent from the ores of gold and copper was valued at S66,000, of which S22,900 was recovered from copper ores, $32,500 from gold lode ores, and S10,600 from placer gold. The lower selling price of sil- yer and the greatly decreased output of copper ores were re- sponsible for the great falling off in the value of the silver output as compared to 1881.
 Lead production amounted to 2,521, 300 pounds and was worth $75,600. Most of the lead was a by-product of gold ores mined in southeastern Alaska.
 Coal to the value of S513,5 was produced, principally in the Matanuska and Healy Riv- CT fields. This was a decrease both in quantity and value, but the output of 102,700 tons has been exceeded in only five years since coal mining has been in progress in Alaska.
 The total coal consumption of Alaska in 1882 was about 145,- 900 tons, of which 28,422 tons was imported from the United States and British Columbia.
 The total value of miscellan- eous mineral products, includ- ing marble, limestone, petrol cum, platinum metals and quicksilver, was S223.4OO
