By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, March 6.—A break of | more than 10 cents a bushel took place in the wheat market today before trading had been in progress an hour. Forced down by heavy selling, Ma fell as low as 1.88%, compared w 1.92%a1.92% at yesterday's finish. Un- oxpected liberal exports from the! southern hemisphere, together with rains in Indla, were largely respon- sible. ! Tlorecasts of rain or snow for the entire domestic grain belt intensified the weakness in wheat, On the down- ward turns of value, fluctuations were so rapid_that orders to sell at figures which were being chalked up on the blackboards proved to be im- possible to execule. The wild descent to 1.861 carried| prices 16 cents a bushel under the top uevel reached Monday. A con- tributing reason for the upset was the fact that the Liverpool market, which had been expected to show an advance, was at a declded setback Corn and oats gave way with wheat. After opening at % to % decline May 1.30% to 1.30%. the corn market rallied somewhat. but then dropped lower than bafore. Oats started at a shade to % off, May 53% to 54, and iater continued weak. s Sharply higher prices for hoisted the provision market. Pooling System Py & temporary halt In the swift ard swing in wheat was made Soon an additional | drop to 1.64% took place with an immense trade in progress. Mean- while, reports were current that the Australian pooling system was break- ing down. According to these reports, furmers {n Australia were represent- ed as preferring to sell for cash in the open market, rather than to risk co-operative selling with payments spread over a vear { Corn Market Improves. Magnitude of liquidating sales by holders of May wheat had something | of a counterbalance in the July de- livery. A large part of the selling of May was accompanied by simulta- neous purchases of July, and this fact exercised more or less of & stesdying influence about the middle of the day Another factor which began to tell was strength which developed in corn values. The corn market at first had been depressed by the ac tion of wheat, but later the corn trade took much nmotice of & big ad-! varce in hog prices. Corn rose to well above yesterday's finish, and helped to rally wheat [— Grain Sales Erormous. As much as 10,000.000 bushels of May wheat are estimated to have been 0ld by one firm aione. The fact that this firm has been handling much of the business of a leading speculator | ed 1o gossip that he had been unload- ing. Shortly after duy another ex-| traordinary outbreak of selling was witnessed. New low levels were quick- | v obtained, May tumbling to 1.82% «lmost 10 cents under yesterday's finish hogs Only down at 1.86% for May. GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
