TODAY'S CHICAGO PRICES.
CHICAGO. May 10 -Fayorable
weather for crop growth had a bear
ish influence on wheat prices today
during the early dealings. The easier
tone OF the stock market tended salso
to bring about a decline in wheat
values. Trade in wheat was light, and
the market easily affected The open
ing, which ranged from IN to ga
lower. with July 115ts to LIS. and
September LAS to 1.14A. was fol-
lowed by a slight further fall and
then something of rally.
Corn and oats were easier with
wheat. After opening unchanged to
y lower. July 79% to 1913. the corn
market underwent a moderate general
decline.
Oats started unchanged to IA off,
July 42A to 42A. Later the market
as whole showed a little setback.
Provisions reflected the steadiness
of hog values.
