Today's Chicago Prices.
CHICAGO, December 24.-Wheat
went down in price today almost as
soon as the market, opened Senti-
ment appeared generally bearish. and
it was contended in various, quarters
that the market was headed for
competitive basis with other coun-
tries. Some. houses friendly to the
bull side advised that for while
it would be good policy to defer buy
ing. After opening Il off to isc ad-
vance, May 1861 to 1868 and July.
105h, prices underwent a moderate
setback all around.
