eliminate waste caused by making
too many of one part and not
enough of another.
The program will be put into ef-
feet gradually and allows for in
clusion of any other materials as
the supply problem increases. Mil
itary and civilian officials at WASH

hensive forecast of their needs for
the 18 months from January l,

Steel operations for the current

below the last week of October, but
output of the metal still virtually
was at capacity.

Late Rally Wipes Out
Small Early Losses
In Grain Market
Most Chicago Prices
Close At or Near
a.. -,
Weeks Tops
BY FRANKLIN MULLIN,

CHICAGO, Nov. IA late rally
today wiped out early fractional
losses in the grain market and per-
mitted prices to close at or near top
levels for the week in most cases
and at gains of 2 to cents for
wheat. Corn and oats compared
with last Saturday. Quotations of
these cereals were near best figures
for the past month.
Weekend profit taking caused
prices to retreat fractionally early
in the day but this weakness was
shaken in late dealings as result
of buying by commercial interests
and dealers covering previous short
sales. Some buying was inspired by
sharper price advances at Kansas
City, where wheat closed h-7s cent
net higher. :
Wheat here finished unchanged to
Il higher compared with yesterday,
December, $1,26as-A; May, s128A :
7s; corn, A5s up; December, 1914
IS; May, 885s-Ha; oats unchanged
to a lower; rye, 1s off to 1s up;
soybeans, 4 higher.
More Feeds Required.
Some of the markets strength
was attributed to the statement of
Secretary of Agriculture Wickard
indicating increased livestock pro-
duction will be sought in order to
meet expanding military and lend
lease requirements for food. This
will require more grain feeds. Wick
ard estimated the war will take a
fifth of all foods the country can
produce.
Recent improvement in flour busi-
ness, which traders said was due
to depletion of reserves through
normal consumption. continued to
attract some mills to the market
but orders were on small scale.
Grain men said wheat prices are
only to cents below levels which
they consider top prices millers can
pay and at the same time sell flour,
at ceilings. December wheat sold
up to S1,295s during the September
28-October 2 base period for -four
ceilings.
Spot Corn Boosted.
Spot corn prices were nj cent
higher and shippers sold $4,000
bushels to move from this market.
Dealers bought 10000 bushels to
arrive from the country. They said
lower grades of new corn that were
priced at 6l1a to 66A cents at the
start of the week now were quoted
8 to 8 cents a bushel higher, illus
trating the effect apparent at any
time storage or merchandising in
terests have space available to per-
nit them to enter the market.
Better grades shared in the up
turn during the week, with gains of
4 to cents.
