CHICAGO, July 11.-Wheat prices
today experienced a marked rally
which was due to big trade IN
early offerings. At the bottom OF to-
days buying were heavy declines 81
Liverpool and bad weather which IS
reported to be hurting the winter
wheat crop and seriously delaying
the harvest. The advance was all
the more marked because 1t was IN
the face of rather heavy reselling BY
foreign purchasers. The opening
was down u and up v to 1O5 and
1O4N. At one time July touched 1OS.
Corn was very much stronger to-
day, prices being up y and ! at
the opening, and later going s TO "
higher than the opening. Heavy do
nestle buying was the chief cause.
Oats prices were higher with ten
dency downward after good advances
at the opening.
Provisions suffered sharp de-
cline. prices showing an overnight re-
cession and later dropping from 50
