CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, May 30-REWheat
prices fell as much as two cents
a bushel today in an outburst OF
post-holiday liquidation based on
war developments, expectations
that forthcoming private crop re-
ports may raise estimates of do
mestic wheat production, and un-
certainty about trade regulations
affecting futures quotations.
Wheat closed at the days bot
tom, almost 3 cents below early
highs and l ~ to 2 1-8 cents
to "a. Corn dropped more than
2 cents from early highs a d
closed l 1-8 to l IL lower than
Wednesday, July 81 IA to 3-8, Sep
TENDER so IL. Oats closed IL to l
ia off; rye l So to 3-8 lower and
lard 8 to 10 lower.
Allied reverses in the north I'm
nerved many dealers while some
were disturbed by other war de-
velopments including reports f
possible Italian intervention or ma
neuvers for a negotiated peace.
While this tended to keep many
traders on the sidelines, the late
sell-off forced transactions to limit
losses.
In this connection, many traders
paid particular attention to de-
velopments following a Memorial
Day meeting of board of trade
officials with government authori-
ties in Washington. A report that
Washington authorities we're con-
sidering a request of exchange
men that they assent to removing
of minimum prices for grains es-
tablished as of the close May 10
after the sharp price tumbles of
that week brought no comment
here.
Prices of most grains recently
have held several cents above the
minimums. Wheat closed about 3
cents over today and corn about
2 cents over but July oats and
all soy beans and rye contracts
finished at the minimums. Beans
have been quoted at the minimums
for several sessions, which h a S
practically shut off futures trading
and made commercial transactions
difficult because of the curtail-
ment of hedging operations. Trad
ers fear that a similar situation
may develop in other grains If no
buyers can be found at the mini
mum prices. Beans dealers have
had to limit country purchases be-
cause of inability to place hedges.

WALLACE OPPOSES
PATMAN MEASURE
Bill Would Place Graduated
Taxes On Units Of Chain
Store Systems

WASHINGTON, April S.-P-
Secretary Wallace opposed today
the Patman bill to place graduated
taxes on individual units of chain
store systems.
He expressed his views in a let
ter to Chairman Mccormack Cd
Mass) of the house ways and means
subcommittee considering the mea'
sure.
After stating that the bill OBJ
viously would drive out of business
the larger interstate systems OF
chain stores and adding that prob
ably many of the smaller chains
would also find it impossible to op-
crate under these added taxes"
Wallace wrote:
""Studies of the Federal Trade
commission and other agencies have
indicated that the food chains nave
been able to introduce a number of
economies into the marketing sys-
tenn by the development Of inte'
grated mass methods of food distri.
button.
1.-THE department of agriculture
holds no brief for any particular
type of food distributor, but it does
believe that greater efficiency and
lower costs in the marketing OF
farm products are of great impor-
lance to the farmer and the con
Stunning public"
After acknowledging that the de-
partment was we'll aware of the
dangers" associated with tn {
growth of large corporations, wheth'
err they be handlers of food or any
other commodity, Wallace contin'
ued
Certainly it should be possible tc
provide suitable regulations which
will prevent abuses and dishones;
practices by chain stores. This de
partment would be in favor of any
such regulation.
However, we think it would be
unwise and unnecessary to give w
the economies which have been
brought about by chain store dis
tribution in order to prevent certain
practices which may not be in the
public interest"
