ToDAY's CHICAGO PRICES.
CHICAGO, December 2s.-Unexpect-
ed upturns in quotations at Liver
pool led to something of a gain here
by wheat values today during the
early dealings. Absence of selling
influence. On the advance. however,
profit taking was prompt and a re-
action ensued. The opening, which
varied from unchanged figures to u
higher. May 1.06k to 1.06A and July
1.054 to 1.05%. was followed by a
slight general rise before the market
began to recede.
Smallness of rural offerings of corn
gave strength to the corn market
and to oats as well. Messages from
Iowa and Nebraska indicated that
virtually no corn was being moved.
7S& to 7SB, corn continued to hold
at yesterdays finish or above.
Oats started Il higher. May 44zs,
and remained near to the initial fig
ures.
Provisions were steady in line with
the IlOs iildThet-
