| TODAY's CHICAGO PRICES.
CHICAGO. June 2l.-Buying on tn,
part of previous sellers turned
| wheat upward in price today during
! the early dealings. Estimates tina
the probable yield of wheat in Eu
| rope this season had been curtaileC
| 25.000,000 to 40,000.cO0 bushels, as
result of recent extreme cold weathe
had some bullish influence. For tn.
| most part. however, opinion appar
| emily continued to lean to the beaI
| side of the market. Opening prices
which varied from unchanged figure
to one cent higher. with Septembe
! 1.04 to 1.04ts and December. 1.07A t,
| 1.0735, were followed by slight fur
! ther gains and then a somewha
| sharp setback.
Corn and oats were firmer in tn,
absence of any, decided pressure t.
! sell. After opening at u off to q up
ket scored material upturns al
| around before beginning to react.
| Oats started unchanged to a shad,
| higher; September, 37a37h. Later, al
months showed little advance.
| In the provision market firmness O.
| grain counted out the effect of lower
| quotations on hogs.
