CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-B Prom
Used breakup of extreme cold wealth
er over much of the grain belt stim-
ulated enough selling in the wheat
pit today to lower prices more than
a cent a bushel.
There were other factors, such as
continued slow demand for cash
wheat and flour, easing tension in
Europe and indications the govern
ment will not extend loans on 1888
and 1899 wheat beyond maturity
dates at the end of March and April.
except in some states. The mar.
ket developed rallying power after
announcement of partial revival Of
the export subsidy program to clear
surplus supplies on the Pacific
coast but this had no lasting ef-
feet.
Early losses amounted to as much
as l IL cents while final prices
were 3-4-1 1-8 lower than yesterday,
with May $1.01 1-4-1.S, July SO 5-S.
IL. Corn closed 1888 off, May and

down; rye unchanged to 7-8 off and
lard 3-14 higher.
Government officials announced
limited restoration of the subsidy
program affecting wheat and flour
shipments from the Pacific coast to
China and Hongkong and fixed pay
ments on flour at $1.15 per barrel.
Pit brokers said the Strengthening
effect here was derived largely from
expectations that pressure of Pacif-
ic northwest wheat on markets
east of the Rockies would be reliev-
ed. Since the recent price decline,
however, little has been heard about
sale of this wheat into middle west.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-R-
The interstate commerce commits
sion refused today to set aside pro-
posed reductions. in less-than-car-
load rates by a group of railroads.
The railroads sponsoring the re-
duced rates said they hoped to win
back less-than-carload business
which in recent years has been di-
verted to freight forwarders.
These railroads include the Penn
sylvania, Baltimore & Ohio, Nor
folk G. Western, Central of New
Jersey, Reading, and Pittsburgh &
West Virginia, Monon, Detroit, To

Western Maryland.

another group of eastern railroads
Directing to the reductions.
These railroads asked the COM
mission to suspend the reduced
schedules. At the same time, how
ever, they filed tariffs of thell
own in line with the reductions
proposed by the other railroads
This was done, officials explained
so that the protesting railroads
would be in a position to compete
for business On an equal footing
should the commission refuse te
suspend the schedules.
While refusing to suspend the
reduced less-than-carload rates, the
commission ordered an investiga'

He barely was sidetracked yes
terday as he shut out the New
York Yankees for Cleveland, 40,
on three hits. He didn't give up
safety until the seventh inning,
when with one out Joe Di Maggie
finally banged a single of Short
stop Lou Boudreau's glove.

and the 21-year-old speedster let
out single in the eighth and an
other in the ninth.

There were other good pitching
shows yesterday-and some that
even the Greeks wouldn't have a
word for.

ters' five-hit job on the Boston

for the Cincinnati Reds. 1t was the
fifth triumph without a setback for

start since hurting a no-hitter April
30, locked in a dramatic duel with
Larry French that went to 10 in
nings before the Brooklyn Dodgers
broke through for Al victory
over the Chicago Cubs.
Newell Kimball got credit for the
decision, however. because Car
Teton was removed for q pinch
hitter in the ninth.
The horrible bottom in pitching
was reached at Pittsburgh as the
Pirates lost their ninth consecutive
game by a 1875 score to the New
York Giants. Frenzied frankie
Frisch used five fingers who gave
up Is hits, 10 bases on balls and hit
three batsmen.
A st. Louis rookie, Ernie White,
came through with a good relief
chore for the Cardinals, pitching
seven scoreless innings as the Red
birds overpowered the Phillies, 8-4.
Red Sox Win Late.
The Detroit Tigers came from be-
hind to tie their game with the
Boston Red Sox at five-all in the
seventh and then Herb Hash shut
them out until the 10th when
Johnny Peacock singled with the
bases loaded for a 6-5 verdict.
Jimmy Foxx had tripled with the
sacks filled in the fourth to put the
Red Seekers in the lead in the first
place.
Bob Harris scattered seven hits
and the Browns took advantage of
the wildness of Johnny Babich, pre-
viously unbeaten, to crack down on
the Philadelphia Athletics, AZ.
