Then the moment arrived that
10000 pounding hearts had been
waiting for. The fighting son OF
Man O War went TO the Biscuits
side. His bobbing head was level
with Seabiscuit's. They ran nose

yards. But as they leveled for the
last turn 1t was the Howard colors

United PRESS STAFF Correspondent
New York. April 19.-In line with
the ultra conservative attitude the
constantly changing major league
picture automatically develops in a
sportswriter, we waited as long as
possible before venturing to predict
the le43 finish of the baseball teams.
However, with the first scheduled
for tomorrow and the full opening
day carded for Wednesday, we could
resist no longer and here, be-clouded
with as much uncertainty as the
future of the game itself, are our
1043 predictions:
American League
!. New York Yankees.
2. Cleveland Indians.
3. st. Louis Browns.
4. Boston Red Sox.
S. Chicago White Sox.
6. Washington Senators.
Z. Detroit Tigers.
8. Philadelphia Athletics.
National League
/. Brooklyn Dodgers.
2. st. Louis Cardinals.
3. Cincinnati Reds.
4. Chicago Cubs.
5. Pittsburgh Pirates.
8. New York Giants.
Z. Philadelphia Phillies.
8. Boston Braves.
We picked the Yankees to repeat
In the American League. not from
force Of habit, but because 1t was
harder to pick a club to beat them
The Yankees don't resemble the
power-laden club Of previous years
but try and find another club that
doesn't look like a third-hand edi-
ton OF former seasons.
Charlie Keller Is the Yankees
only remaining regular outfielder.
Joe Gordon at second base the only
infield holdover and catcher Bill
Dickey the third survivor. But the
Yankees have great pitching staff
headed by 6pud Chandler, Hank
Borowy and Ernie Bonham. Their
requirements have yet TO be proven
but so have the newcomers on other
clubs.
The Dodgers not only look like the
most formidable club In the Nation
al League but In the ajors. They
lost Pee Wee Reese and Pete Reiser
but the Cardinals were hit more
heavily by the loss OF Terry Moore,
Enos Slaughter ard Johnny Beazley.
And pitcher HOWE Pollet and IN.
fielder Jimmy Brown are also In
danger Of leaving.
The Brooklyn infleld OF Camllii,
0lcssop. Vaughan and Herman Is
comparable TO any inner line In the
loop with the exception OF Cincin-
natl. which was b0lstered by the
acquisition OF Eddie Miller. The
Dodgers have q well.balanced OUT

New War Orders Tighten
Cotton Textile Supplies
Fy the Associated Press.

F.y The Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 30-Business
volume in cotton textiles was small
this week with heavy new lend-lease
inquiry accentuating tightness Of
supplies by competing with military
and high priority war orders for
placement.
Fine goods activity continued to
lag because Of what trade circles
described as dissatisfaction with
some of the new Office of Price Ad-
ministration price ceilings.
Lend-lease inquiry was reported
for about $50 900 900 yards OF cotton
goods for shipment to Russia and
Australia, covering a wide variety
of numbers.
News that the Army would require
100000 underwear garments for
the second and third quarters added
to the congestion of orders. The
procurement department, asking
quick delivery, made inquiry for
100000 yards of 39-inch 30 by 30
400 yard print cloth.
Although little goods will be avail
able until May or June, strong de-
mand was made for cotton bagging
materials, such as Osnaburgs.
Trade circles gave increasingly
more attention to reports that mill
labor was growing scarcer and ma
chlnery more deteriorated.
In woolen goods mills were eau
t1ous In releasing civilian allotments
because OF the large number of Gov
ernment orders on hand.

Wheat Prices Climb
Bur Other Grains
Are Backward
Breed Cereal Closes
u to IA Higher on
Chicago Market
BY WILLIAM FERRIS,

ASSOCIATED PreSS Market writer.
CHICAGO, Jan. 30.-A good de-
mand for wheat sent prices to the
highest levels for the week today,
but other grains Jagged behind the
bread cereal.
Corn and oats closed with little
change while rye, the recent market
leader, slumped under profit tax
ing.
At the finish wheat was u to 4
higher, May Sl.403a-l2 July 81 40l2:
corn was i lower to Il higher, May
98l2-3s; oats were unchanged to Il
higher; rye declined 9s-s4, and soy
beans were inactive.
Grainmen said buying of wheat
was based on a substantial upturn
in the parity price for that grain
on January IS as compared with a
month earlier. The January Is parity
price on the farm was s1.397 COM
pared with $1.379 on December Is.
Average price paid on the farm on
January Is was S1175.
A report that Department of Agri-
culture officials had stated the food
distribution administration will con-
tinue to make purchases of wheat
flour for lend-lease export to Rus
sia and other countries was an ad-
ditional factor in the wheat upturn,
traders stated.
The same source was primarily
blamed for the slump in rye, re-
porting that officials saw no immedi-
ate prospect of shipping rye flour
to the Soviets. Recent gains in rye
have been based at least partly on
the prospect of export demand for
the grain, because supplies are con-
sidered much in excess of domestic
requirements.
officials of the department were
reported to have said they under
stood the Russians still held the
territory where most of their rye is
normally grown, and therefore the
need for products of that grain was
not acute.

January Farm Price Index
Hits Peak Since 1920
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Rejecting an unprecedented de-
mand for food and some upward
revision in Government price CELL
ings, farm product prices made
further gains this month to reach
the highest level since 1920, the
Agriculture Department reported.
The index Of farm prices at local
markets on January Is was 1872 per
cent of the 1904 base period and
four points above the mid-Decem-
ber index, the department said, this
being 80 points above the index OF
a year ago.
All groups of commodities except
truck crops and fruits advanced dur
ing the month.
The department said the general
level of agricultural prices was IS
per cent above parity. A month ago
it was IA per cent above. Not since
1920, the department said, have farm
prices been so far above parity.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-High con-
sumner purchasing power will sustain
heavy demand for goods of all types
in 1943 However, dollar volume of
the grocery and variety chain store
groups will fall off, because it will
be impossible to obtain adequate
supplies of many merchandise lines
according to survey by Standard &
Poor s.
With sales declining and taxes
somewhat higher earnings for vir-
tually all chain store companies will
shrink. Under the circumstances at
least moderate dividend reductions
are to be expected.
Continuing the almost uninter-
rupted rise in sales since 1888, dollar
volume Of grocery chains reached a
new peak in 1912, 20 per cent higher
than in 1941 and So per cent above
1929. Higher retail prices accounted
for about 80 per cent Of the rise
over 1941.
Grocery Outlook Poor.
Sales prospects for the remainder
of the war period and perhaps for
some time after peace is restored
are not particularly impressive. Be-
cause of the necessity of diverting
tremendous quantities Of food to the
armed services and to lease lend
channels, supplies available for ci-
william consumption will be restricted.
Rationing, soon to become effective,
will, of course, cut into retail sales.
1t is estimated that the 1912 pack
OF canned vegetables, fruits and
juices totaled about 283 600, 900 cases.
OF this, the Government set aside
about 100000 900 cases for military
and lease-lend purposes, leaving
some 183,000,000 cases for civilians.
Of the estimated 1943 pack, Gov
ernment requirements will leave only
about 100 million cases for civilians,
a drop of 33 per cent below that of
1912. The situation is similar for
other canned foods, such as fish,
soups and meats.
Variety Items Curtailed.
Dollar volume of variety chain
stores rose Is per cent above the
194l level last year. Profit margins,
in most instances, improved. Mer-
chandise costs increased and wage
rates were higher, but larger vol
ume and operating economies were
more than sufficient to expand op-
Grating profits, although final net
was down because Of the sharp in
crease in taxes.
An increasing portion Of the mer-
chandise handled is being affected
by the concentration of industry on
war work All types of merchandise
made from metals are rapidly dis
appearing from the market. The
volume Of textile lines available is
also declining, because an increas-
ing percentage of cotton and rayon
output has been going into the war
effort.
AS stocks generally are fairly
large, the shortages will not be felt
for several months. However, early
future sales comparisons may be
unfavorable, because Of the sharp
gains registered in the first half
Of 1912. Since buying power of the
lower income groups will continue
large, the principal problem will
continue to be the ability to MAIN
tain adequate inventories.
