TODAY's CHICAGO PRICES.
CHICAGO. September 19.-owing
chiefly to weakness of Liverpool
quotations. wheat averaged lower in
price here today during the early
dealings. Pressure Of offerings from
Canada was the reason given for de-
clines at Liverpool. In Chicago com
mission house buying increased on
the downward swing of values and
led to rallies which carried the
market to slightly above yesterday s
finish. The opening, which varied
from unchanged figures to u cen,
lower, December 1.02 to 102K and
May 1.o73a to 1.07A, was followed

Corn and oats paralleled the action
of wheat. After opening at kaH off
to Is up, December 672< a67A to 67H,
the corn markets receded all around
and then scored trif1ing gains.
Oats started unchanged to a shade
higher, December 391a, and later held
within narrow limits.
Provisions were easier in response
to decline in hog values.
