ToDAY,s CHICAGO PRICES.
CHICAGO. April 23.-Rains in Ne
braska and other parts of the winter
crop belt gave a downward tendency
to wheat prices today during the
early dealings Lower quotations at
Liverpool counted also as a bearish
factor. On the other hand, smallness
of the amount. of wheat on ocean pas
sage was a steady influence, and there
was likewise gossip that ice condi-
tions would delay until May or
later the water route arrival Of grain
at Montreal Opening prices. which
ranged from ] to II advance. with
May 1.24 to 1.2412 and July 1.21k to
1.22, were followed by a moderate set
back all around and then something
of reaction.
Corn and oats declined with wheat
After opening unchanged to 81 lower,
May TN, the corn market sagged a
little more and then rallied somewhat
Oats started unchanged to II off.
May 44ss. and later underwent a lit
tie further decline
