ToDAY's CHICAGO PRICES.
CHICAGO, March 7.-Speculative
selling in the corn market had a de-
pressing effect on prices of al grains
during the early dealings. Most OF
the corn selling was by pit traders
There was no material pressure from
ether sources, but aggressive sup.
port was absent. After opening al
1saA off. to an equal advance. May
S0A to SOS. the corn market suffered
a general setback, with May leadine
the decline and showing a drop OF
nearly one cent
Wheat receded with corn. Expect.
ed signing of the tariff advance proc.
iamation was apparently regarded as
having been already discounted as g
tullish factor. The opening, which
varied from unchanged figures to u
higher, May and July both III r. te
LII 70. was followed by a moderate
decline all around.
Oats started unchanged to "a high.
er. May rs. and then underwear!
something Of a sag.
Provisions were firmer in line will
hog values.
