CHICAGO, Feb. 6.— A storm of liquidation broke ever the fain pits to-day. In spite of the critical situation in the Orient. Sharp losses were sus'ainod in all cereals. The market was unable to rally, and closing prints were near the low point. May wheat being oft 1 cent from lart nlsht's close. May corn closed l%c lower, while oats were down 2^ 2He. Provisions were rracticaJly unchanged. Strength &vA activity marked initial trading in wheat. That the war outlook was of a most mrious nature was evidenced by a de cline In the r.rice of Ensll«h consols. Bhorts were active buyers at the start, and bid up the price of the May option Vic to %c above yesterday's close, the opening quotations be!n;j at MV'iC to 05«4c. July was a shade to %ff%c higher, at SCc to SC^c. But these prices Iat>ted only a moment. There was such a quantity of wheat for 5al?— both May and July deliver ies — that within five minutes the price o£ May ha<1 fallen to &l-%c and July to SV>ic This selling craze ws» »r>cn partly exhausted. On support from the leading Ions the market quickly recovered part of the early loss. May rallied to 94vic and July to SOc. Trading was comparatively quiet durins thn remainder of the day until within the last half hour. Com mlMicn-hcuses continued to sell on all slight rallies, while small holders netz;d every op portunity to eecure profits. In the face of fresh war rumors th« ult was delused with fcellinr orders late in the day. There was not enough demand to absorb the offerings and. In consequencp. May broke to 03%c, while the price of July was carried down to Sl'ic. The close was extremely weak, with May at 04c, a net loss for the day of lc. July was irjl',;e lower, at 54 a »c. . . ■ . About the same conditions surrounded tradlnsr in tb» corn rlt as were VB-itnesyed In ths wheat market. Hay closed at 5494c, a net loas of l%c. ' . > . . The feature in trading In oats was the weak ness of the May delivery and the comparative ftrenuth cf July. May closed 2©2Hc lower, at 44\4<M4Uc Provisions were atrcng- early.

Holders of river Burbanks were still asking high prices, but trade on the wharf was 01 very small volume. Salinas and Lumpoc Burbanks were closely cleaned up and sieaay. Sweets were unchanged, with supplies ample and the demand light. Onions ruled firm at a further advance and fine Oregon stock was strongly held on the wharf. The steamer Oregon brought down 230 sacks. Receipts of southern vegetables were lighter than usual, as tho rain in the growing districts prevented farmers from picking. The demand was steady and all descriptions ruled tirm at gocd prices. Cabbage was higher under a steady demand for shipment to the Southwest and higher prices are expected in the near future. A few boxes of Rhubarb came in and met with prompt sale at slightly firmer rates. Choice Iota ot new Potatoes (rom across th« bay were itill selling at 3&4as&er pound.

There are two elements — one bull and the other bear- In the market at present, and between them a range of 2c In quotations is given. Cheese shows no Improvement and the shelves continue full of the goods. A shipping broker reported yesterday that he could buy store- Eggs at 24c cas °d. which shows a weaker market for this description. Some commission merchants, too, quoted ranch a cent o£f. The feeling is not as firm as it has been, and, though receipts were not as large as the average for the past three or four days, they T/cre too large for the market to ab sorb, and there was quite a little stock on hand at the close.

Deciduous and Citrus Fruits. The inclement weather continued to discour age trade in fresh fruits and the demand for all descriptions was very light among local r« tallers. Stocks of Oranges were heavy and only the large sizes of Navels were wanted. Fancy l>Cs were scarce and firmly held at an advance over the quotations. The promoters of the Orange auction announced that eight or ten cars, including the four cars that were sched uled fcr Friday's fale, would be sold to-mor row. Tangerines were In pood request amcng tie 'Chinese for the approaching New Year cele bration, and prices were firmer.
