TODAY's CHICAGO PRICES.
CHICAGO. January o4.-New up
turns in the value of wheat took place
today shortly after a decline at the
start. The initial weakness was
ascribed to lower quotations at Liver
pool and TO setbacks in foreign ex-
change. Selling, however, lacked VOL
ume. and with several leading houses
acting on an opinion that wheat was
low Is compared with other commodi-
ties, the market quickly scored a mod
crate advance. The. opening. which
ranged from Il to u lower, with May,
i:15A to 1.1SA. and July, LIN, was
followed by a rise to we'll above yes
terday's finish.
Corn and oats developed independent
strength largely as result of bullish
conclusions. drawn from the govern
ment report as to the number of hogs
on farms. After opening at Il decline
to shade advance, May. II y. the corn
market made decided gains all around.
Oats started II to q higher, May, A,
an S.er went up with corn.
Buying in part of cottonseed oil in
terests gave lift to the provision
market.
