Grain Prices Close

Selling Is Inspired
By o. P. A. Action on
Oils and Futs
BY FRANKLIN MULLIN,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

CHICAGO, Dec. 13.-Farm COM
modify prices gave up some OF the
weeks war-inspired gains today fol-
lowing imposition Of temporary CELL
ings on all fats and oils, except
butter, at levels below yesterdays
closing quotations in many cases.
The war boom was checked by
violent retreats in prices of some
commodities. Soybeans declined 6
cents a bushel, the limit permitted
in one session, December contracts
falling to s1.71. Lard closed 81 to IS
cents per hundredweight lower at
new ceiling levels, with December
s9.77. Soybean oil and cottonseed
oil lost about cent pound, cotton
Is to 80 cents per hundred pounds.
Although grains are not directly
affected, selling was inspired by the
ONCE of Price Administration order
and prices finished at or near the
days lows with wheat 21t-2l2 lower
than yesterday. December, 124-
1.241s; May, 127A Is; corn, rs -ss
down; December, 1885; May, 83%-
81; oats, 15s-17s of; rye, 17s-2k
down.
Trading in lard and cottonseed oil
futures was suspended until after
midsession while exchange officials
analyzed the o. P. A. order. Later
when ceiling prices as Of November
26, as provided in the order. were
announced. trading was resumed and
quotations fell to the maximums and
in some cases below. Traders said
sufficient support to check declines
below ceiling levels was due partly
to belief that the top prices are sub
ject to change at any time.
At the close wheat was still to 7
cents higher than a week ago, hav-
ing given up less than half OF the
upturn since the war began. Corn
was 8 to 4 higher, oats and rye about
2 higher and soybeans 6 higher.
Grain prices rallied at times dur
ing the day due partly to mill buy
ing and short covering. Traders said
fear that ceilings also may be placed
on other commodities and reports
of increased marketing Of wheat by
producers attracted by profits over
Government loan rates which now
can be realized were bearish factors
in wheat and other grains. Philip
R. OBrien, Board of Trade presi-
dent, said Government of1cials In
dicated that price ceiling action is
governed by the behavior OF mar
kets.
War emergency price ceilings pro-
hibiting trading in soybeans above
Yesterdays close were still in effect
when the market break came. These
emergency ceilings have limited
dealings in beans since the war
began. Soybean prices are affected
directly by the value of oil, traders
said. Spot soybeans fell 6 cents.
Some hedging sales appeared In
the corn pit against purchases OF
10000 bushels to arrive here from

U. 5. Expected 10 Take

Rapid Strides to Poss

Goodrich Chief
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ITHACA, N. Y, Dec. 13.-The
United States has made rapid strides
in the last few months toward
wrestling the synthetic rubber lead
ership of the world from Nazi Ger
many, John L. Collyer, president
of the B. F. Goodrich Rubber Co.,
said today in an article in the De-
cember issue Of the Cornell Engi-
neer.
Recalling that it was in June,
1910, that the first auto tire made
of synthetic. rubber was offered for
sale to the American public, Collyer
said the rubber position OF the
United States at that time was one
of the biggest question marks on the
blueprints of national defense plan
ming. "Spurred by the Naz war
lords" he declared, "the Germans
had attained synthetic rubber
capacity of 10000 tons a year. &C
cording to estimates Of the United
States Department Of Commerce.
New Plant Rushed.
In contrast to the almost negh-
gible l,750 tons Of synthetic rubber
which the entire Nation turned out
in 1899, the privately financed syn
thetic facilities developed by B. F..
Goodrich now have a capacity OF
5000 long tons q year Of its product
Ameripol," the article stated.
Upon completion next year Of a
10,0OO-ton plant now being built
at Louisville, KY, under terms Of
a $2.75O, 900 contract with the Gov
ernment's Defense Plant Corpora
ton, a single American firm, the
Hycar Chemical Goa straight
line synthetic rubber production
unit organized by B. F. Goodrich
and Phillips Petroleum Co. only IA
months ago-will shortly have q
capacity of 5000 long tons a year.
This is approximately four times
the synthetic rubber output OF the
entire United States last year"
Collyer said.
Other Firms Busy.
"Paralleling this development have
been the results achieved by num-
Der of other companies both in and
out of the rubber industry proper,
he continues.
Estimates are that these COM
panies. which include Du Pont.
Standard Oil, Goodyear. Firestone
and Dow Chemical, will, by the
end of next year, have developed
privately financed production OF
10000 tons of various types OF syn
thetic rubber per year. In addition,
three rubber companies. Goodyear
Firestone and United States, are
sharing in the Governments De-
fense Plant Corporation program
and are constructing 10000 ton
plants similar to that which B. r
Goodrich is building at Louisville
The Government-own plants will
be in operation in from IS to 1s
months, it is expected.
"All in all, the total American
production of synthetic rubber OF
various types is expected to ap-
proximate 10000 tons year by the
end of 1912. and thus the United
States, by fast work and the ap-
plication of its technical skill, Is
moving into a dominant position
with regard to synthetic rubber,
Collyer declared.

of the lack of demand, however. 1t

visions of existing regulations as a
result of the outbreak of hostilities.
Wool mills pulled in everything

88.275 units, Automotive News esti-
mated today.
The survey said this compared
with s6,817 assemblies during the
preceding week, and 120,055 this
week year ago.
The weeks rise was due princi-
pally, the publication stated. to a
general upturn at the Ford Rouge
plant here. A strike at the plant OF
minor supplier, it continued,
slightly reduced output at the Pack
ard factory.
The survey placed Ford production
at 20,450 cars and trucks as COM
pared with 19,207 in the previous
week; General Motors at 32,64o units
against 32,559, and Chrysler divisions
1878 compared with 1888.

dustry must discontinue the use OF

The broad order, issued by Priori-
ties Director Donald M. Nelson, af.
fects about 200 producers employing

scribed as a preliminary curtailment
to cover the first four months o.
