By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. Nov. 8.-Prospects of
more favorable weather for harvest
Ing and movement of corn and soy
beans gave grain prices a lower
trend today. but losses in most cases
were held to fractions. Soybeans.
however, fell almost cents, but
quickly recovered much of the de-
cline.
A forecast of cloudy weather and
continued cold for most of the
North Central grain belt, with little
or no precipitation promised. re-
vived hopes of traders that soybean
and corn harvesting can be resumed
soon. Several days of dry weather,
however, will be needed in many
sections of the belt to permit re-
sumption of field work. The fore
cast to November IL indicated pre-
cipitation over the grain belt will be
light.
Some selling of grain was attrib-
uted to weekend profit taking and
trade uncertainty about the price
control bill. Grain men expect ad-
minlstration forces to seek to lower
proposed ceilings on agricultural
commodities.
Lard declined slightly in sympathy
with grains.
At II am, wheat was as-7s lower

In War News
BY VICTOR EUBANK.
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-Trend doc
tors were unable to agree on a dag
nosis in today's stock market and
leading issues were subjected to in
termittent spells of rising tempera-
ture and selling chillS.
The list tossed about unevenly at
the start and narrowly irregular
price changes prevailed at the close.
Dealings picked up occasionally and
transfers for the two hours ran to
around 100000 shares.
Faint bullishness apparently was
seen in the war news which indi-
Gated the invading Nazis were meet
ing with strong Red counterattacks
In addition, the feeling was present
that the recent market setback
might have discounted lot of wor-
risome happenings.
A dark spot on the picture, how
ever. remained in the labor outlook,
particularly the threat Of the rail-
way brotherhoods to strike on De-
cember 5 following their rejection
of the wage boost recommendation
of the presidential fact-finding
board Even here there were some
who thought the Chief Executive
would call in both sides and effect
a compromise before the end of the
month.
Persistent liquidation in rails and
utilities for the purpose of establish
ing income tax losses. and fears next
years tax bill would hit business
and industry sufficiently to cut or
eliminate dividends, again served as
a buying restraint.
At moderately lower levels the
greater part of the time were shares
of Santa Fe, New York Central,
Pennsylvania. Southern Pacific,
Great Northern, United States Steel.
Chrysler, Eastman Kodak, Westing-
house, International Harvester and
Johns -Manville. New l941 bottoms
were recorded for Consolidated Edi-
son, Montgomery Ward and Amer
lean Can.
Resistance was exhibited by Sears
Roebuck, Boeing, Consolidated Air
craft, General Electric. Dow Chem
ical, United States Gypsum, Ana
conda, United States Rubber, Phelps
Dodge and Texas Corp. Numerous
issues were unchanged
Bonds were as spottv as stocks.
Most commodities faltered as the
Commodity Exchange Administra-
tlon acted to cut the maximum daily
trading limits permitted in the more
active speculative staples.
