CHICAGO, Aug. 15.-Wheat prices
fiuctuated nervously today, dipping
at one time almost a cent below
yesterdays close, but finishing with
small net gains.
The markets inability to establish
definite course was attributed
principally to trade unwillingness to
assume new positions in view of
uncertainty regarding certain aspects
of the farm program, including price
fixing and freezing of Government
wheat stocks. Reports of increased
free" wheat marketing in some
localities as prices near loan levels
also attracted attention.
