Wheat Price Slumps 12%
Cents a Bushel. Other
Grains Follow.
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.
