TODAY's CHICAGO PRICES.
CHICAGO, September 11.-With
this a traditional date for the be-
ginning of a bear campaign in wheat.
the market had a slight downward
tendency today in the early dealings.
The fact that the government re-
port showed larger yield of spring
wheat than had recently been looked
for counted also as a depressing
heavy movement of new wheat in
Canada were given notice. The
opening, which ranged from a shade
to q cents lower, with December
l.O5a+ to 105B and May III to 1.11b
was followed by little general de-
cline and then something of rally.
Corn was easier as a result of
bearish prospects of the government
crop report. After opening un-
changed to q cents lower. Decem--
Der, 67sl to 67N, the market showed
a downturn all around, but then re-
covered somewhat.
Oats were firm in the absence of
any decided selling pressure. Prices
started at "A to Il cents higher.
december 39S to 39A cents, and
continued to hold slightly above
yesterdays finish.
Provisions lacked support.
