Chicago, Sept. 24.-Big breaks in the price of wheat took place today largely as a result of agitation for a general cut in food costs. The smash .of values in wheat amounted to as much as 12% cents a bushel and the market closed in a semi-demoralized condition, December delivery at 2.25 to 2.25% and March 2.15 to 2.16. In sympathy with the weakness of wheat other grain markets also gave way, and both corn and oais fell to the lowest price levels yet for the 1920 crop. Heretofore, wheat has been ad vancing despite the setbacks in the price of other grain. The chief reason ascribed for such strength was huge sales of wheat for export to Europe. Today, however, the stimulus of ex port business appeared to have lost its influence and especially near the end of the day wheat market turn Wed wildly downward.
