TODAY's CHICAGO PRICES.
CHICAGO, January 2.-Wheat scored
something of an advance in price to-
day during the early dealings. Higher
quotations at Liverpool, ascribed to
smallness of world shipments and to
the wet harvest in Argentina were
chiefly responsible for the upturn
here. The volume of business in
chicago was little larger than has
below the usual average. Opening
prices, which ranged from a shade
to ga higher, May, LOS to 1.OSA,
and July, LOGS to 1.06M a1.06A. We're
followed by slight reaction and
then by new upturns fractionaIly
higher than before.
