ToDAY's CHICAGO PRICES.
| CHICAGO, January 10.-With corn today
again breaking the high price record
| for the season, wheat scored a ma
| terial upturn in price during the
early dealings. Unexpected strength
| of wheat values at Liverpool counted
| as an additional bullish factor here
Besides, weather conditions through
| out the west were unfavorable foI
the movement of grain. After openins
| u to g higher. May, 1.09 and July
1.o71a to 1.07A, wheat made further
gains and displayed but little ten
dency to react.
/ Big buying on the part of commits
sion houses lifted the corn market
| despite heavy sales to realize profits
Next to no corn was obtained OIL
| overnight bids from here to the cour
! try. The opening. which ranged from
Il to q higher; May. 7S% to 1SS
was soon followed by slight further
Eastern demand gave Independent
strength to the oats market, which
started a shade to " higher. May
ASH and later continued to harden
| Provisions were upheld by grain
| notwithstanding a decline in hog
| values.
