TODAY'S CHICAGO PRICES.
CHICAGO. May 25.-With offerings
here light and with Liverpool quota
| tions showing an advance, wheat took
an upturn in price today during the
! early dealings Some buying was
based on advices that stocks of wheat
| in Great Britain are meager and thai
! a further rise In prices there II
| looked for. Pessimistic reports as tC
the condition of winter wheat, espe-
cially in Ohio and Indiana, counted as
an additional bullish factor. The
| opening, which varied from un.
| changed figures to y higher. witt
July 1.17A to 1.17h and September
| 1.157s to 1.15k, was followed by mod
| crate gains all around.
| Corn and oats reflected the whea'
| advance. After opening 1s lower tc
| V higher, July 1875 to 79k, the corr
market scored slight general gains.
| Oats started unchanged to Il high
err, July 42S, and then continued te
| harden.
Downturns in the. price. of hog.
weakened the provision market.
