TODAY'S CHICAGO PRICES.
CHICAGO, April 3.-Wheat took a
moderate upturn in prices today dur
ing the early dealings. an unexpected
advance in Liverpool quotations
counting as a bullish factor. Besides,
II was reported that in Kansas no
rain had fallen where most needed.
and that drought conditions were
steadily extending eastward. Talk
current about systematic curtailment
OF spring wheat planting tended also
TO lift values. The opening. which
ranged from u to u higher. with
May 1908 to lei and July 1.17as to
l.l7k, was followed by slight further
gains, and then some thing Of a reac-
tion.
Corn and oats sympathized with the
wheat advance. After opening ~ to
q higher, May, 741s to 74Ss. the corn
market held near to the initial range.
Oats started unchanged to haH
higher, May 45, but later eased down
a little.
