MARKET IS DEMORALIZED Demand Is Suspended and Soiling , Becomes Urgent Heavy World Offerings Cause pSiropean Prices to Totter. CHICAGO, Feb. 23. For the first time in nearly three years May wheat today sold under BOo a bushel. The market varged n demoralisation. Disappearance of buy ing waa the chief cause asd behind this was the fact that European prices were stagger ing under heavy offerings from India, Rus sia. Australia and Argentina. Rallies In wheal wers few and feeble, but the unload ing, taken as a whole, was of a scattered sort. In consequence, ths decline proved less rapid than many dealers thouBht prob able in view of the generally bearish senti ment that swayed the trade. The most pro nounced weakness developed following news that tho estimated shipments for the from Argentina showed an Increase and that prices at Buenos Ayres were dropping like lead. After the opening the selling pressure gathered greater Impetus and there was a good deal of letting go under stop-loss or. dors of an urgent kind. Latest figures, how ever, were at a slight recovery from the bottom point of the session. May ranged from 80S.O to B0o, qloslng lHWlttc down at S!)TtJ0c. Rural sales of corn wer on a larger goals then for some time past. May va ried bstween 48Mi0 and 4tc, closing unset tled at 48i48c, a net loss of ttSefeo. Cash corn was easy. No. 3 yellow closed at 4714 648c. Oats held better than other grains. May fluctuated from 31c to Sllic. with last sales at 31w314c, a deoline of Hc, compared with the closing Tuesday night. Oossip as to concentrated holdings of May ribs helped all futures in provisions. The outcome was a net gain of 7 to 13c for pork, 8 to 7He rise on lard and 24600 to Joe87niC added to the cost , of ribs. The leading futures ranged as follows: Ouen. fiign. wiw.
