Survivors May
Lose Benefits

Anton r. Boettcher, manager of
the Yakima field Office of the So
cial Security Administration said
today that many survivors OF
some 10000 deceased war vet
Grams will lose benefits due them
unless they file necessary claims
by February 10th.
The families in question are
those of veterans who died after
discharge but before August 10,
1916. Such families who are not
eligible for veterans compensation
or pensions and VINO meet other
requirements of the Social Secur-
ity Act are entitled to insurance
payments retroactive to the time
of the veterans death. 80 =
They still will be eligible for
monthly payments after Febru-
ary 10, but the retroactive bene-
fits will be lost if application has
not been made by then.

within three years after discharge
are entitled to special Social Sc

WHEAT DELIVERY
REPORTED FIRM
Lard Rallied On Chicago
Mart Picking Up
Losses

CHICAGO, Oct. 18.-R)-More
dry weather in the southwest, AND
a forecast for no rain over the
weekend, caused aggressive buy
ing of wheat contracts represent
ing the 1913 crop on the board OF
trade today. Other wheat deliver
les were firm.
Corn scored fractional gains in
a light trade. Oats were slightly
stronger than the yellow cereal
although there were no reports
of government oats buying. Soy
beans spurted the eight cent limit
for the second straight day in q
thin" market.
Wheat closed l 1-2-5 IL high
er, December So. 00-$3.00 IA, corr
was 1884 higher, December ST.
80 1-4-1-2, and oats were 1-4-1
IA higher, December $1.20-$1.1s
7-8. November soybeans closed
at $3.50 IA.
In addition to weather develop
ments, wheat was aided by infor-
nation that the commodity credit
corporation was not withdrawing
from the cash market, as had been
rumored yesterday. However, the
agency said it might not buy as
a%ggressively in the immediate fu-
ture as recently.
The only report of CCC buying
yesterday came from Minneap-
oils, where 1925, 900 bushels of
wheat were purchased.
Announcement of an agree
ment between the citizens food
committee and the baking in
dustry which would conserve
wheat had little influence on the
market. Grainmen said that most
of the savings plans so far an
nounced do not conserve a great
deal of wheat. Some of them say
it will be difficult to obtain the
amount desired without keeping
prices high.
Brokers said action of soybeans
over the past two sessions in
dictates that producers are stor-
ing a good part of their crop
rather than sending it to market.
Bids on "to-arrive" grain were
sent out at $3.50. basis country
station, compared with 1888 yes
terday.
Traders recalled that last year
farmers had marketed most of
their soybeans while OPA cell
ings were in effect. When maxi
NUNS were removed, prices soar
ed but farmers had few beans on
hand to sell at the higher price
level.
Activity in corn and oats was
light and not influenced by any
specific news developments. Lard
rallied and regained part of the
ground lost in recent sessions,
closing unchanged to 70 cents a
hundred pounds higher. Best
gains were made by the more
distant deliveries.

STOCK MARKET
WEEKLY REPORT
Oils Lead In Speediest
Week OF The
Year

NEW YORK, Oct. 18-(P)-The
stock market today concluded
one of its strongest and speediest
weeks of the year with oils,
steels and motors extending the
upswing by fractions to 2 or
more points generally.
Buying ruled after the Colum-
bus Day holiday with a string
of four million-share days a &c
ora since late July. New highs
were numerous. Resumption of
the bullish push was attributed
partly to a revival of business
optimism, lessening of recession
fears, waning apprehension re-
garding foreign affairs, good
dividends, earnings and hopes
commodity spectators would
shift to securities. Wheat topped
the $3-a-bushel mark for the
first time in about 80 years. High
grade bonds and preferred stocks,
on the other hand, continued to
slip. Profit cashing by profess
SIGNALS stalled securities at in
tervals but not for long.
Mild ~irregularity prevailed at
the start of the final session.
The ticker tape slowed frequent
ly although there were lively
periods. Prices firmed in the final
hour and closing gains were well
in the majority.
Wider movers for the day, a
number at l947 peaks, included
Superior Oil of Cal, up 8 points
at 129, on only 500 shares; Sicily

Most of the buoyant rails of
the preceding session took a rest.
Oils still were propped by mount
ing crude prices. Expanding pro-
duction of steel ingots aided
stocks in this group.

ers were Pacific Western Oil,
