ToDAY'S CHICAGO PRICES.
CHICAGO. June 23.-wheat soon
took a decided down turn in price
today, although at first affected bull
ishly by reports that prospects of
abundant crops in Europe had been
destroyed by unfavorable weather.
Word of rains in the domestic spring
crop belt however, dispelling fears
of drought damage, proved more than
an offset in favor of the bear side of
the market. Besides, harvest weather
prove. Opening prices, which ranged
from Il cent decline to y cent adj
vance. with September 1.051k to 1.05A
and December 107A to 1918, were
followed by moderate general gains
and then by a sharp setback to we'll
below yesterdays finish.
Corn and oats paralleled the action
of wheat After opening unchanged
to Il cent off-September, 1871 to
S0-the corn market scored some
thing Of an advance and then under
went a material sag.
Oats started unchanged to IA cent
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., 37B-ascended a
little and reacted
Provisions were steady in line
