lower in quiet futures markets today, but

Profit taking by local traders accounted
for most of the easiness. Commission house
resting orders were a steadying influence,
Some selling was attributed to belief that
yesterdays sharp rise was largely specu-
latiye and that some reaction was due,
Trade in wheat was dull and without
feature. The May delivery was for sale
above Sl.63 and in. demand below that
figure. 1t was evident that many operators
were puzzled as to the future price trend.
In cash markets wheat was firm and as
long as supplies are light little selling pres
sure is expected on the May futures How
ever many in the trade feel that improved
transportation facilities will result in
sharp increases in terminal receipts.
May rye, OFF as, much as q OF cent
at times, suffered the heaviest losses of the
entire grain list. The weakness resulted
from commission house selling and a lower
market at Winnipeg Brokers associated
with a professional trader bought the July
contract. while most pit operators we're on
the bear side.
At the finish wheat was 70 to "a lower

Concrete iercinq
Fuse Helps Blast
JAP PiIlboxes

TACOMA, Wash. - W.H -
Col. M. D. Mills, commander of
Mt. Rainier Ordnance Base, has
revealed that American artillery
pounding japanese fortified po-
Sitions in the South Pacific are
using a new concrete-piercing
fuse.
The new fuse can be screwed
on the nose of every artillery
shell from a 75-mm. shell to
massive 240-mm. howitzer shell,
Mills said. Inside the pointed
metal fuse is placed a sensitive
high explosive which sets off
booster mechanism containing
a slightly less sensitive booster
explosive. The booster, in turn,
sets off the explosive in the
she'll.
The fuse is strong enough to
permit the shell to pierce GER
tain types of pillboxes or other
concrete Notifications before
the explosion occurs.
Where armor-piercing shells
had formerly temporarily knock
ed pill boxes out of commission
without destroying them COM
pletely, shells equipped with the
new fuse reduce them TO rub
BILE, so that tanks can pass over
the ground and stubborn enemy
defenders can no longer filter
back to reman the Notifications.
