Chicago Grain
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO. Jan. 26-HigheSt
prices since 1887 were posted in the
grain and soyhean futures pits here
today as the market continued its
war-inspired upward push. Beans
were the highest on record, oats
the highest in IA years.
SOvbeanS. up as much as 4 cents
to above s2O4. led the advance.
Corn and rye were up about 2 cents
at times, wheat a cent and oats
fractions. The upturn in wheat was
restricted by large receipts of grain
at terminals, including some that
has been stored under Government
loans.
Industrial demand for such COM
modities as Soybeans, corn and rye,
due to requirements for oil, sugar,
starch and alcohol was an impor-
tant bullish force in the market.
Professors of beans and corn were
reported working at or near ca
pacity to meet requirements. A
change of regulations permitting
greater inventories of fats and oils
was a factor in the soybean pit.
Strength of cotton. oil from which
is a competing item, and higher
soybean oil prices also attracted
attention.
Late profit taking reduced the
maximum gains in all pits but wheat

Rails, SteeIs, Sugars
And Tobuccos Among
Leaders in Rise
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-The stock
market took the offensive on the
recovery front today and selected
rails, steels. sugars, tobaccos and
assorted specialties scored gains Of
fractions to more than points.
While extreme advances were
shaded in some cases at the close
and minus signs continued TO cling
to a number of issues, the trend
generally was upward. The list dis
played imp, owed inclinations at the
start.
Dealings quickened at intervals
and. notwithstanding slowdoWns
after midday, transfers for the full
proceedings Appropriated 100000
shares.
The war news was mostly on the
side of bullish forces, with Ameri-
can-Dutch bombers and submarines
smashing at japanese ships in the
far Pacific and the Reds swarming
over the Nazis in Russia. Brokers
credited the largest portion of the
days bidding, however, to individ-
ing belief the market had retreated
far enough to dig in for good rally
if developments halfway warranted.
A drop of 0.4 of a point in this
weeks estimated steel output, due
principally to the lack of scrap sup
plies, left the steels undisturbed.
Hopes were seen for a nearby solu-
ton of this problem.
The buying movement in rail loans
spread to a number of hitherto in
active issues in which advances
ranged to as much as 2 points.
Meanwhile. several of the carrier
