Wheat Leads Rally
After Early Dip
In Grain Market
Opening Drop Linked
With Sharp Losses
In Soybeon Prices
BY FRANKLIN MULLIN,
Associated Press Market Writer.

CHICAGO. Nov. 22.-After an
early fractional dip in prices. the
grain market struck a recovery trend
TODAY, wheat leading with gains
ranging up to y cent.
Most Of the early weakness was
in sympathy with losses of liz to
Is cents in soybean prices at the
opening. Selling was associated
with favorable weather for harvest
ing of late beans and corn and pros
poets that price control legislation
will come UP for House consideration
Monday.
Buying on the rally was stim-
ulated by forecast of some precipi-
tation in parts of the grain belt and
trade belief that cold weather may
halt late seeding of winter wheat
in many areas. Previous short SELL
ers and some processing interests
placed orders.
Wheat closed 1sa1z cent higher

Some buying of wheat was at
tributed to Government plans to
stimulate exports in an effort to
find an outlet for some of the more
than 100000 bushels owned by
the Commodity Credit Corp. The
Surplus Marketing Administration
has been subsidizing flour exports
involving privately owned supplies
for some time. Under the new pro-
gram Government wheat will be
sold to exporters at less than do
mestic prices. The Chicago office
of the c. c. c. has been authorized
to sell wheat 10 cents per bushel
under 1941 loan rates, or equivalent
to around s105 for No. 2 grades.
This grain must go into flour or be
used to replace wheat milled for
export to countries designated in
the new program.
