WHEAT PRICES BREAK ON CHICAGO EXCHANGE

Expected Advance Fails At Opening of Market—Rally Follows Slump on Wall Street.

CHICAGO, July 29.—Instead of advancing, as most traders expected, the wheat market today made a startling break right at the opening. First prices were down more than two cents.

In another minute the market had dropped an additional two cents or more, than then there was a sudden rebound of more than three cents followed by another descent, but In this case not quite so violent.

The pits and galleries were crowded to their utmost capacity. The commotion among the traders, however, after operations actually began, was decidedly less tumultuous than yesterday when news was received that war had been declared.

The extreme point of the break In the early trading was 4%c under last night, the market gradually steadied at approximately two cents down for active months and less so for other options.

NEW YORK, July 29.—There was a big opening In the wheat market vlth prices down about 4V4 cents under Imvy liquidation by yesterday's buyers but prices later rallied 2 cents a bushel on less favorable cable news. Cotton, on the other hand broke from 11 to 24 points in response to weak cables and the gloomy European outlook.

Coffee opened weak and from 19 to 24 points on quite active selling prompted by the weak European markets.

An early rally followed ihe early demoralization, some stocks, notably Southern Paclflc, selling above yesterday's close. The movement had all Indications of substantial banking support together with extensive Investment purchases by so-called bargain hunters. Canadian Pacific's gain of 4% points was ascribed to direct buying by Berlin, where conditions were much Improved.
