Chicago Grain


CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-Only small
orders we're executed in the grain
pits today as prices wobbled
nervously in a narrow range.
Wheat was fractionally higher at
times, rejecting some buying at
tributed to mills, and rye borrowed
strength from the principal bread
grain. Corn. on the other hand,
declined slightly, ignoring a 22-year
top for hog prices and average
cattle prices around best levels since
1897.
Increased purchases of corn to
come here from country points,
which resulted in some hedge SELL
ing in the pit and the report show
ing 10 per cent fewer cattle on feed
in the corn belt than last year
helped to depress prices. Traders
blamed the diminished beef fatten-
ing on ceilings on meats.
Wheat closed unchanged to u

Nazis Claim Raiders Felled.
DNB said fires were rekindled In
Mainz by the British raiders and
mentioned damage in residential
areas of the Rhineland rail-river
traffic hub and industrial center
which was battered with tons OF
high explosives and incendiaries the
night before. Four of the raiders
were shot down, the German broad
cast said.
Britons had perhaps a better pic
ture of the havoc sown by the RAF
on Mainz Tuesday night than of any
raid British air forces yet have
made, the work of picked crews
which circled over the city from
start to finish of the attack.
This was new device by the Raj
to check on the effectiveness of its
bombers, but their missiles fell in
such profusion that one of the OBJ
servers said there were more fires
at the end than we were able to
count"
Between $50 and 400 British
bombers made the attack, an Raj
commentator said, and left 15,000-
foot pillar OF smoke over the city
from fires still burning when British
scouting planes returned In daylight
to survey the damage.
An audit Of recent bomb-trading
with the Germans showed the
ledger heavily on the credit side
for the Raj in June and July.
During those two months 10000
tons of bombs fell on German cities,
British source estimated. This
was $500 tons more than in the
same period last year and $500 tons
more than in the same period OF
1910.
BY comparison, the Germans
dropped $50 tons of explosives in the
raid on London April Is, 194l, which
was the heaviest Nazi air blow on
Britain so far.
