TODAY's CHICAGO PRICES.
CHICAGO. May 1.-Persistent liqul-
dating sales by small holders had a
bearish effect on the wheat market to-
day during the early dealings. De-
clineS, however. were minimized in
view of the fact that Liverpool quo
tations continued to show relative
strength. Smallness of world ship
nentS to Great Britain was reported
az d bulliSh factor at Liverpool. Chi
cago opening prices, with July 1.16a4
to III and September 1.1512 to 1.15as
were followed by slight gains in some
cases. and then by a setback all around
to we'll below Saturdays finish.
Corn and oats receded with wheat
