Sensational drops In wheat quotations on the Chicago and Portland exenangea yesterday resulted in practically halting all purchases of grain In the country dis tricts. Dealers were unwilling to make pur chases at the prices which had been of fered the preceding day and the majority of the farmers were not ready to accept lower quotations. - The consequence was that no. sales of importance were re corded. "r The drop in wheat quotations at the noon session of the Merchants' Exchange yesterday ranged from 6 to 11 cents. The drop was "the greatest In the case of red Walla Walla, which went- down 11 cents. closing "with a quotation of 12.17 bid for September' delivery. Hard winter and northern spring dropped 10 cents each. both closing Tat $2.20. The least change was recorded in the case of red winter, which went down Q cents under previous quotations. Bid price for that variety closed, at $2.20. Hard white registered a bid price of $2.23 yesterday, a drop of 7 cents. Soft white and white club dropped to $2.22 which was 8 cents below quotations for the preceding day. Following the sensational drops yester day dealers were predicting that wheat would go to $2.00 at Chicago before the present movement was completed. Wheth er there would then be a reaction result ing In an advance in price again, they declared, would depend on developments. A report from Broomhall received yea terday by the Merchants' Exchange gives the following advices with reference to world conditions: Argentine The visible supply of wheat is estimated at 3.700,000 bUBhels, compared to 4,440.000 estimated last week.

The question of Russia sup plying a part of the European require ents during the coming year is the objec of considarabie discussion but tne re a situation in that country Is almost un known, wit h a wide divergence of opin on. One thing is certain, with, the export demand. - indifferent and th country an anxious sl ler. there is little stability to the market even at the present decline. Corn opened steady on lack of r where needed, but selling was encouraged by late temperatures and tne previous low point liquidation became, general" A cab I from Liverpool substantiated the statemen of a leading authority that supplies of cdrn in the united Kingdom, as well as parts the continent, are becoming burdensome Argentine corn in store there is said almost be unsalable and British . govern ment has announced Its Intention to liq uidate holdings. News Hems such as this emphuslze that tha world's position in grain forecasts price depressions. Our suggestion sent out about mldday to the enect mat it might be well to cover short corn temporarily was based on pit con ditions, which in all probability will bring about a further recovery, especially if there is no rain over night in tha dry territory. Oats Range was comparatively narrow in face of a large volume of trad. Pres sure was heavy at times but subsided on tha declines. The July was relatively weaker than other months, reflecting easi ness in cash. Country offerings were said to be somewhat smaller, although there is no reason to believe that the producer will not market freely. The surroundings of this grain are Just as bearish as every thing else, in fact, more so now that the new crop is made and is a large one.

WOOL. SAXES ARE SHALL AND FEW Reign In Uncertainty Still Declared to Market at Boston. BOSTON. Mass., July SO. The Commer cial Bulletin tomorrow will say: "Uncertainty still reigns in the wool market and values are hardly more than nominal. Everyone is watching the goods market, which Is revealing little at the moment. Sales of wool have been few and small. The foreign primary markets are unrhanged and little or nothing new is reported from the west, practically all business being on consignments. Mohair is dull and nominal."
