Chicago Grain

Ey the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Aug. 22-Corn prices
led a decline in the grain market
today, the principal feeding cereal
losing about a cent at times.
This reaction, which erased about
all Of yesterdays late advance in
corn, was blamed on a renewal of
selling of September contracts,
which become deliverable in days
and hedging sales against purchases
of corn from country dealers There
was a letup in demand for cash
grain from industries.
Wheat and other grains were off
about y cent at times Soybeans
were steady. No further -four bust
ness in any material quantity could
be confirmed
The wheat pit had to absorb con-
f1icting buying and selling orders
based respectively on reports of
sawf1y infestation in Canada and in
dications that the new crop move
ment in the domestic Northwest is
expanding as a result of more fav-
orable harvest weather the past
week. A Government entomologist
reported about two-thirds of West
ern Canada's wheat acreage is in
tested by sawf1y to some degree and
1t is almost certain that some loss
will occur. However, grain men
pointed out that heretofore a Cana
dian crop of bumper proportions was
in sight. Similar infestation last
year was estimated to have cut pro-
ouction more than 5O000,000 bushels.
Offsetting this to some extent,
however, was the Canadian Wheat
Board statement that if the Domin-
ions grain crops are harvested on
the basis of present prospects pro-
duction in the Western prairies may
approximate 1,25O,OO0,O 900 bushels of
all cereals, or nearly 100000 900
more than if average yields had
been secured. That the Canadian
storage situation is as acute as it is
In this country was shown by figures
that on July 81 available space in
country elevators totaled 10000 900
bushels while other storage facilities
could handle only another 35 900 900
bushels.
Receipts of wheat at Minneapolis
and Duluth totaled 1896 cars, about
60 more than a week ago but almost
600 cars short of arrivals a year ago.

Bv VICTOR EUBANK,


NEW YORK, Aug. 22,--Selected
stocks continued to reach for higher
levels in today's brief market pro-
ceedmgs although many leaders
lacked recovery animation.
Aiding buying sentiment to some
extent was the cheerful war news
from the Pacific and the growing
belief in financial circles that the
United Nations were getting ready
for a real blast at the NaZiS in
Europe In addition, broadening
earnings for many companies de-
spite taxes and other heavy costs
drew attention to individual issues.
Low priced stocks. most of which
were unchanged to up a shade,
came out in sizable blocks and
helped expand the two-hour vol
ume at around 100000 shares, one
Of the largest Saturday turnovers
for the year to date.
The last edged forward in spots
at the start While closing ad-
vanceS of minor fractions were
plentiful, numerous issues held at
Fridays final figures or were a
trifie in arrears. Steels and motors
did virtually nothing while rails
were exceptionally narrow.
A bolstering influence was a break
in the recent dividend casualty col
umn with Sparks Wilmington direc-
tors voting a 25-cent dividend on the
