Bulls Yield to Peace Talk and Easier
Liverpool Prices-Buying
Not Aggressive.

CHICAGO. February 10.-Wheat took
downturn in price today. largely as a
result Of peace talk in the Prussian diet.
Besides. the Liverpool market was easier
and the buying here not of an aggressive
character. Congestion Of export facilities
in Boston counted also against the bulls.
and so, too, did predictions that domestic
crop losses by winter killing would be
unusually small. The opening, which
ranged from Il to IA off. was followed
by slight further setback before prices
began to rally.
Corn Values Drop.
Better weather. promising larger re-
ceipts. tended to pull down corn values.
Free selling met with moderate demand.
