Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire. Chicago, Aug. 18. he price decline taking place in grain markets was un checked in today's session and final levels were at the extreme low points recorded since the downturn com menced. Apparently liquidation has not spent its force in the leading cereal, while a heavy portiop of the selling in coarse grains was of this nature. Commitments in the shape of short selling were extensive in all pits and stop loss orders were numerous on the way down. A lack of speculative buying was one of the principal weak ening factors, though the economic and financial conditions existing at j resent counted strongly in the ac tion of the markets. Resting spots showed wheat 3(5 SyZc lower than yesterday. Corn was H(alc lower, with the December delivery losing least, owing to pur chases by strong commission houses, causing the spread in that cereal to narrow to c at the finish.
