Chicago Grain
Hy the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. Jan. 10.-Grain prices
moved upward briskly today fol-
lowing the Senate vote giving the
Secretary of Agriculture veto power
over farm price ceilings.
Rye shot up more than 2 cents,
wheat cent and soybeans more than
a cent. Later prices in all pits re-
acted fractionally from early highs.
Washington reports attracting
much attention were that a 10 per
cent increase in farm parity price
fixing levels also was demanded by
the farm bloc in Congress, which
once again displayed its power to
shape legislation by giving the De-
partment of Agriculture rather than
the Office of Price Administration
authority to limit prices of agri-
cultural commodities.
Under new amendment offered
for consideration the Federal Re-
serve Boards periodic index of in
dustrial wages would be made a
factor in establishing parity prices
for farm products. The pending bill
provides price ceilings on farm items
could not be fixed lower than the
average price last october l, or lower
than ITO per cent of parity.
Buying of rye was associated
partly with likelihood of increased
diversion of grain, principally corn
and rye, for the manufacture of in
duStrial alcohol and partly with the
fact that rye prices show a greater
discount under proposed ceilings
than any other grain,
Some traders also were affected
bullishly by reports that there is
agitation in congressional and farm
organization circles to obtain legls-
lation prohibiting the Commodity
Credit Corp. from selling old wheat
and corn below parity prices or pos
sibly below ITO per cent of parity,
If that is the level provided for
minimum ceilings. They pointed out
that open market prices for these
grains are now near Government
selling prices. Grain men said as
long as the Government is dis
posing of old wheat and corn in the
commercial trade the prices 1t asks
amount to virtual ceilings on the
market.
At II am. wheat was 12-a. cent
higher compared with yesterday S
finish, May. 1895; July, 1909 !;
corn l2-5s up, May. sc; July. 877s;
rye 15s-2 higher, May, 815s; soy

Recovery Efforts
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK. Jan. 10.-War and
tax clouds dampened recovery ef-
forts in today's stock market and
leading issues dipped fractions to a
point or so.
The list looked as though it might
put on feeble rally in early deal
ings, but bidders soon began to fade
and, while a few favorites managed
to contest the shift with modest i'm
provement, losers were well in the
majority at the close.
Negative encouragement was de-
rived from the fact volume inclined
to dWindle on the downward drift.
Transfers for the two hours were
around 350,000 shares, one Of the
smallest turnovers for a Saturday
since last November.
Fears that bad news anent Singa-
pore and the Philippines might ap-
pear over the week end, brokers
said. did as much as anything else
to inspire the stand-of attitude of
potential buyers and offset optimism
engendered by reports of the grow
ing defeat of the Nazis in Russia.
Tightening of commitments also
was attributed partly to the idea it
might be sound procedure to await
more conclusive signs as to the
forthcoming tax bill which. it was
realized, will be the greatest in the
Nations history. Some observers ex-
pressed the opinion Congress pos
sibly would jump the imposts asked
by the President on individual and
corporate incomes.
The buoyant rails of Friday took
a rest although most conceded only
minor amounts. These continued to
reflect hopes of mounting traffic,
revenues and the granting of rate
increases.
Steels never were able to make
much headWay as forecasts were
heard that next weeks mill opera
tions might recede because of the
shortage of scrap. Motors refused to
rally despite agreement of the
o. P. M. to raise quotas assigned
automobile plants for manufacture
of replacement parts. Bonds were
mixed.

Defense Bond Sales
Up Sharply Here
In December
More Than Doubled
After Outbreak of
War in Pucific
By EDWARD c. STONE.

Sales of United States Defense
bonds and stamps here took a SEN
sational Jump in December over
November, the japanese attack on
Hawaii furnishing the impetus for
the new buying wave. it was learned
today from postal officials who COM
piled the returns
The number of Defense bonds
sold in Washington reached 2l,270
In December, in comparison with
o,267 in November. a record month
ly increase of 12003. officials said.
Sales considerably more than dou-
bled.
Equally impressive is the fact
that $4,000 of the more than 21.000
sold we're in S25 denominations.
This shows how widespread was
the buying by the general public,
as we'll as the great amount of
clerical work required in keeping
track of so many different bonds.
The December dollar volume
reached 869,96125, by far the Iarg-
est monthly total registered since
the sales started. In November
bond sales amounted to s347,1e375,
making the December gain $522,-
1880. There was also a new record
for stamp sales. according to Post
master Vincent C. Burke.
Defense stamp sales made an
equally good showing December
sales totaled s5so3681o. as COM
pared with s35S,53615 in November,
a striking upswing of S221,83l95,
