GRAIN TRADE WAITS
ON POLITICAL ACTION
Market Is Influenced by Efforts
to Restore Purchasing Power
Of the Farmers.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 13-Au eyes in the
grain trade are now eagerly watching
Washington for fresh developments re-
garding administration efforts to restore
farmers purchasing power to 1909-1s14
levels.
Foremost unofficial trade authorities
here say these levels mean roughly 81
wheat, 70-cent corn and Ascent oats in
Chicago. This would indicate that new
advances aimed at by Government
authority are at least 81 cents a bushel
for wheat, 10 for corn and 16 for oats.
Compared with a week ago, wheat
this morning was exactly unchanged to
7s of cent up and within a cent a
bushel of the top so far reached this
sason. Corn showed 25s-43s advance,
oats rise of 34-11s and provisions q
Jump ranging from As cents to 81.
The majority of wheat traders expect
that announcement will be made early
in the coming week as to initial use to
be made of the almost unlimited power
the new farm bill has given the Secre-
tary OF Agriculture in attempts to adj
vance prices of rural commodities.
Trade gossip in Chicago is to the effect
that a processing tax on wheat and on
various staples is not meeting with
much favor, and IS not likely to be tried
If desired results can be obtained by

Undoubtedly telephone directories

of life use the telephone book many
times each day in carrying on their
business and social affairs. For many
years the telephone directory has been
recognized as a valuable source of in
