Civilians Get Even less
Cotton Goods in Week
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK. Oct. 10.-Cotton
mills began to feel the full impact
of large Government orders this
week and released even less goods
for civilian use than heretofore.
There was heavy demand for
print cloths and bag sheetings and
substantial volume was filled for
delivery in the fourth quarter and
into the first quarter of 1943. Part
of the print cloth demand came
through placement of the long
expected Government order for COM
forters, placed at 100000, which will
use an estimated 100000 to 7,0o0,-
900 yards of print material for
coverings. Difficulties in securing
cloth for prompt delivery were en-
countered in most quarters.
The trade geared it's activities to
the expectation that bids on 82,-
100000 yards of various type cotton
cloth will be opened next Thursday
at the Army quartermaster's depot
at Philadelphia. In the past week
the Army was estimated to have
purchased nearly 100000 pairs of
cotton mercerized socks.
Wool goods moved in limited
quantity in the week, but the
amount channeled into civilian
quarters was of no Importance.
Rayon markets were quiet.

Steel Output Rises

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-Cheerful
news this week that steel operations
were scheduled at 98.6 per cent Of
potential capacity - highest point
since last June-helped dispel gloom
as the Nationwide scrap drive went
into its final stage. 2
Incomplete reports in the scrap
metal campaign conducted by the
country's newspapers were encour-
aging and showed total of over
100000 tons collected so far In the
leading "a States-a per capita
figure of over 325 pounds. The,
drive has another week to go. =

Meantime the trade stressed the
considerably improved situation in
steel plates, which once were the
scarcest form of finished steel. Big
conversion programs have turned
former sheet and strip mills into
plate producers.
Gold became a war casualty. The
War Production Board this week
ordered all gold mines in the United
States to shut down so that its
miners could be more "gainfully"
employed in the production of the
strategic base metals-copper, zinc
and lead.
The directive gave the United
States Employment Service the
right to assign gold miners to only
non-ferrous mining jobs, except in
cases of undue hardship. and pre-
vented former gold miners from
seeking employment west of the
Mississippi River without approval
OF the agency.
Although copper and zinc pro-
duction was running we'll ahead of
year ago, output might have been
higher If adequate help had been
maintained. Il
Lead Order Awaited.
Reports still had it that the WPB-
was about ready to release it's modi-
flcation of the lead conservation
order, which would permit greater
use of that metal as a substitute for
copper, zinc, steel and tin.
Prices for principal non-ferrous
metals were firm and unchanged
with copper quoted at IL cents a
pound, Connecticut Valley, and ex-
port rates quiet at 1la cents
pound, f.a.s. New York. Lead held
at $50 cents pound, New York,
and 6.35. st. Louis. Zinc was steady

Grain Prices Slump;
Uncertainty Over

Larger Crop Estimates
Also Factor in Sag

By FRANKLIN MULLIN,
Associated Press Financial Writer

ASSOCldtco IIcSb lhaACldl WIltel.
CHICAGO, Oct. 10-Grain prices
slumped / to 2 cents a bushel today
to lows for the past month or longer
in a general liquidation movement
which brokers blamed on uncertainty
as to price ceilings and the official
crop report showing the unprece-
dented size of cereal production this
season.
Corn led the decline, although oats
and rye showed as much weakness
Corn quotations were at new lows
since last December, wheat and rye
were the lowest for the past month";
and oats hit bottom figures of the
season.
Wheat closed 1A-112 cents lower
than yesterday, December 81 23A Is s,

December 1915, May 8412-as: oats
Ia 2 down; soybeans 70 lower to "a
higher and rye lA-1ss lower. Wheat
prices were about cents lower than
week ago, when price ceilings on
flour were imposed, corn was off
oAAASoo u SCllCo, oobS Olldll .
cents and rye 3 cents.
Brokers said much of the selling
was the result of the fact that off,
cial estimates of every major crop
except soybeans were raised COM
pared with month ago, with corn
and barley harvests estimated at an
all-tsme high and production of
other grains near peaks. However,
major factor also, they said, was
a Washington report that the Office
of Price Administration was prepar-
ing an order which would provide
for hog ceiling prices considerably
below prevailing quotations. This
was particularly effective in the corn
pit. although traders pointed out on
the basis of present corn hog prices
the ratio of about 10 is the most
favorable on record, and a reduction
OF 81 to So in hog prices would still
leave a favorable feeding relation
