TODAY's CHICAGO PRICES.
CHICAGO. June A. Favorable
weather for the growing crops led to
lower prices in the wheat market to-
day during the early dealings. Be-
sides, uncertainty IS to the ERECT OF
government regulations for admins
tering the grain futures act continued
to exercise a bearish influence. No
liquidating sales, however, appeard
to be in progress, and power to rally
showed itself after moderate set
back in values. The opening, which
varied from unchanged figures to
half cent lower, with July Ito to
110lz and September, 1.G9% to Ito.
was followed by further declines and
then by something of an upturn.
Corn and oats responded to wheat
declines, but only to slight extent.
After opening unchanged to q high
er. July 79tsa79$ to 7sa4, the corn
market Sagged a little below Satur
days finish.
Oats started unchanged to a shade
lower, July 40ss and later eased a
trifie more.
Downturns in the values of hogs
weakened the provision market.
