Humors of Rail fflrlkes and Heavy Rains flend Wheat Prices Downward. Chlr-Hiro, III., March 14. Railroad notices nf freight refusal on account of the threat ened strike emaahed the wheat market to day after prices had been greatly unsettled by ths action of a German nubmarlne In sinking the American food-laden steamship Algoii'iulu. Quotation, which at one time nhowod an extreme break of fic a buuhel, cloned nervous, l06c net lower, with Mny 11.76 i to 1 .77 and July at 11,624s 11.624. Other commodities, too, all rinlshrd at a loss, corn down 14-' to 1 oata to 14&lTjc. and provisions 10c to 3'n It was not until the final hour of the ses sion that the wheat trade suddenly awoke to a realization that the propoffd atrkc had alrendy IWun to put a clutch on fMtrht traffic The market, which for aoiim time previous had been on the decline, plut)gi hoadlong down aradc and did not atop until ths break in values had carried May deliv ery as low aa 91-7614, aaalnat 1.KI 1.814 at yesterday's close. During tho break heavy unloading by holdera took place and there waa prewure of a most energetic son from bears. In the end profit-taking by shorts rallied the market about one of nt from the bottom figures of the day, but did not appear to alter to a rorreeponndlng de gree tho peaslmlatlc views that were cur rent. Opinions at first In tho wheat trade Had seemed n.Ufh divided aa to the natural con aequencea that the market should man I foe t In relation to tha aluking of tho Algonquin. Bulla contended that l ho event notably heightened tho chances of war between Ger many and the United States and therefore would tend to halt the railway atrlke, Thla theory, however, waa by no meana generally arcptod, and waa later lost sight of. at least for the time being, when stock develop ments became acute. Corn sympathised with the depression In whpat. Owing to the clock allURtlon no ef forta were made to erfpet shipping aalea. Oals. like other grain, were dominated chief ly by the bearish influence of the railroad traffic outlook. Speculators wero aggres sively on the selling side. Provisions aa well aa ccrcala weakened In tho fact of growing dtfflculttea nf trans portation. Besides, lower quotations on hoga formed a source of discouragement to holders.
