half cent per pound this week to the
basis of 7ia cents for electrolytic, or
11a cents below the nominal price Of

producers.
A few custom smelters sold at the

the offerings and impart Steadier tone

to have been effected fractionally above
the low point. Fair European buying

AS WHEAT CLIMBS
Prices Here Exceed World
Levels as U. S. Buys Grain
for Emergency Relief.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, October 2l-Almost II
cents vertical rise of wheat prices the
last few days has brought Into clear
sight the possibility Of a national grain
embargo.
United States prices are up to such
an extent as compared with the world
level that there is decidedly increased
likelihood Of imports Of grains coming
into this country. especially at the sea
board. Trade authorities here assert
that if there is to be a sustained fur
ther advance on domestic grain values,
two courses are open-either an en-
barge on imports Of foreign agricul-
tural products, or an executive decree
putting into effect a material increase
Of import duties.
Compared to week ago, the Chicago
wheat market this morning showed
l5a to 27s cents gain. with corn ~ to
234 up, oats u to Is advanced, and
provisions 20 to IS cents down.
U. S. Buying Boosts Prices.
Governmental buying of wheat for
emergency food relief has been the
prime factor in suddenly turning prices
upward from level 56la cents under
the high point touched last July. The
stimulating effect Of this buying is
heightened owing to evidence of def
mite arrival of the period when domes-
tic supplies will steadily diminish as a
result of consumer drain until the coun-
try's new crop becomes available next
year. For the last three days, primary
domestic receipts Of wheat have been
under half a million bushels a day,
about half of last wears rate
In addition to Government buying of
wheat. heavy purchases are attributed
to mills. and are assumed to be the
counterpart of big sales OF flour. An
indirect consequence Of the Government
buying has been to illustrate the tre-
nltldOlN power which Is controlled by
the administration and has tended to
llcitude as 10 the outlook for higher
prices.
Meanwhile, in connection with
some notice is being taken of reports
that four or five cargoeS OF American
wheat which had been held in bond in
Canada have been brought back and
