TODAY's CHICAGO PRICES.
CHICAGO, December flowing large
ly to a better outlook for settlement
of German reparations and for
stabilizing German finances; wheat
scored a moderate upturn in price
today during the early dealings. At
first, however, the market was of a
hesitating character as a result of
declines in Liverpool quotations. On
the other hand, domestic receipts
were small and there was some buy
ing on the part of northwestern
houses that yesterday were sellers.
The opening, which varied from un-
changed figures to haS lower, with
December 1929 to 1.03 and May
1.081s to 1.0SA, was followed by a
general advance.
