TODAY's CHICAGO PRICES.
CHICAGO, November. 9-Material
declines in the price of wheat took
place today during the early deal
ings. with traders giving attention
chiefly to the unexpected bearish
showing of the government report
on the 1922 yield of corn. Besides.
Liverpool wheat quotations were
lower. and estimates of big ex-
portable surplus of wheat in Argen-
tina tended to depress values here
selling was of only a scat
tered kind, buying support was alb
sent for time. The opening. which
ranged from y cent to 1 cent off.
with December 1.l5A to 1.15A and
May 1.14k to l.14k. was followed by
a little rally and then a drop lower
than before.
Aggressive selling of corn was
witnessed. but the offerings were
we'll absorbed, largely by houses with
eastern connections After opening
68A to 6S7s, the market became more
steady.
Oats started at 4 off to u ad-
vance, December, 42as a42la, and kept
nearer to the initial range.
Provisions were somewhat affected
by the weakness of corn.
