! TODAY'S CHICAGO PRICES.
| CHICAGO. July 12-With crop re-
ports at hand indicating that no
| serious damage from black rust was
probable, the wheat market today
/ averaged a. little lower in price dur
| ing the early dealings. On the de-
| cllnes, however, fairly good buying
| developed and gave support to VAL
| ues. Comparative steadiness of Liv-
| erpool quotations tended also to act
| as check on weakness in the mar
ket here. Chicago opening prices,
which varied from unchanged figures
| 9sA to ests and December 1o2 q
to 1929. were followed by a
| slight general sag and then a tran
| silent recovery to about yesterday
| finish.
! Rains in Kansas and Nebraska,
| helpful to the new corn crop, had a
| + arish effect on the corn market,
After opening unchanged to y cent
! lower, September 76 to 76k, corn
| showed a general downward tend
ency. although July delivery was
| relatively firm.
Oats kept within marrow limits,
TENDER 34k to 34A and then easing
1 back.
| Provisions were firmer in line with
4 the hog market.
| Subsequently reports from South
| Dakota said heavy loss from black
rust was certain around Aberdeen,
and it was predicted that South Da
kota would produce 1000. 900 or S,0OO,-
| 600 bushels less wheat than the July
| official estimate. Price rallies that re-
suited lacked force, however
