TODAY's CHICAGO PRICES.
/ CHICAGO. January 3.-In th'
absence of any special demand whea
tended downward in price toda.
during the first part OF the board o
trade session. An advance in whea
quotations at Liverpool had no effect
here, being offset by weakness of ex
change rates to Europe. With pri
mary receipts continuing y small
however, and severe cold weathe
prevailing in the domestic wintel
crop belt, no disposition in favor O
aggressive selling was evident. Open
ing prices varied from the sam,
as yesterdays finish to Il cen
lower. May. 107Ss to 107k, and July
106h, were followed by slight de
clines all around.
Corn and oats were relatively firm
The fact that receipts were light wa.
the chief sustaining influence, n,
important curtailment of buying wa.
| expected to result from the Peki,
explosion. After opening unchanged
to Il cent higher. May 73% to 73H
corn held near to initial quotations.
Oats started unchanged to IA cen
off. May 43k to 1875 and later sagget
a trffle more.
Provisions were weak as a resul
of decline in hog valuos.
