Grain Prices Extend
Recoveries From
Recent Lows
Disparity Between Loon
Rute and Market
Attracts Support
BY FRANKLIN MULLIN,

CHICAGO, May 23.-Grain prices
today extended their recovery from
the weeks lows, which in most pits
represented the lowest quotations
posted since before Pearl Harbor.
Gains rangings up to a cent in the
wheat and corn pits, more than a
cent in rye and as much as 2 cents
in soybeans were chalked up at
times. Short-covering, demand
credited to mills and other processes
and reports that the Government
was considering expanding ship
ments to Russia formed the back
ground Of support. Russia is known
to need grains and meats as well
as fats and vegetables oils.
Wheat closed 3A-l cent higher
than yesterday. July s1-207s 81
September, $123as: corn, 7s-1ls up,
July, 877s88, September, 90ls oats,
ss-5s up; soybeans. 1A-1l2 higher;
Rye, 1H-11a higher.
Flour Trade Better.
Although most traders were dis
appointed by failure of miller de-
mand to expand materially in view
of recent wheat price declines. trade
reports indicated more activity may
have been shown in the flour and
milling trade. The sharp disparity
between wheat prices and the 1912
loan rate continued to attract sup
port. July wheat closed IL cents be-
low the loan rate and about IA cents
below the five-year high reached in
January.
Spot oats and corn prices were ~
"a cent higher and shippers sold $751;
900 bushels of corn and $4,000 oats
to eastern interests, mostly process
sorS.
Grainmen said that because of
heavy wartime demands for corn,
ever-normal granary supplies ap-
parently are dwindling rapidly, as
evidenced by emptying of steel bins
in Iowa and Government efforts to
stimulate use of wheat in livestock
consumption.
They estimated that as a result Of
industrial requirements and large
scale livestock production, demand
for corn is at an all-time high and
some dealers expressed belief more
grain, including wheat and rye, Is
being used for distillation into alco-
hol than is generally known. Talk
about production of synthetic rub
Der from grain alcohol has attracted
much attention recently.
Rye Shorts Corn.
Short covering accounted for most
Of the strength in rye. The dis
count at which rye is selling under
wheat was expected to make that
cereal more attractive to some in
terests.
Buying Of previous short sellers
also was the most important factor
in the soybean pit since there was
no sign of materially increased in
dustrial demand because of price
ceilings on bean oil and the sluggish
meal market.

NEW YORK, May 23.-The non
ferrous metals business continued
this week to be simply a matter of
trying to find enough to take care
of all war needs.
There were sidelights, such as the
voluntary price cut on some brass
ingot grades initiated by the Fed
Grated Metals division of the Ameri-
can Smelling g. Refining Co., but
war work was the prime consider
alton.
The lowering Of prices-covered by
an informal agreement with the Of

credited to an increase in scrap
supplies, operating economies and
reports that some custom smelters
were paying lower prices for scrap.

The future supply of steel scrap,
considered vital to steel production,
began to worry the industry this
week.
While current receipts Of scrap
were sufficient to support the high
rate of ingot production, observers
said, there has been little accumula-
ton.
Consequently, it was explained,
some steel men feared mill activity
might slip this coming winter. sea-
son when scrap collections normally
decline.
The war program continued to
