ToDAY's CHICAGO PRICES.
CHICAGO. March 24-with no ag-
gressive buying in evidence, wheat
showed a tendency to drop in prices
today during the early dealings For
the most part, demand was confined
to pit spectators. What purchas-
ing there was for this class of traders
appeared to be based chiefly ON re-
ports Of alternate thawing and freez-
ing of the soil in section of the win
ter crop belt. Opening prices, which
varied from unchanged figures to "a
lower. with May. 1.20 12a1.2Oai. and
July. 1.13Sa1.151a. were followed by
slight setback all around
Corn and oats were relatively firm
owing in some degree to word that
exporters were after corn to be ship
ped by way of Gulf of Mexico. After
opening unchanged to IS off, May
1888 to 1874. the corn market scored
slight general gains
oats started a shade to 1sak high
er: May, 447s. Later all deliveries
