CHICAGO, April 20 (UP)
Grain futures displayed easiness
nnd an uneven trend on the
board of trade today with barley
breaking the five-cent limit. Re
moval of restrictions on oats and
barley shipments out of Canada
nnd a weaker cash market
prompted the break.
On the close grains were weak
with May wheat and corn coun
tering the trend with light frac
tional gains. Wheat finished the
day up 'A to off 1 'M cents a bush
el; corn up !i to off ; oats off
to lVi; rye' off 1 'A to 1, and
barley quoted off 4Vi to off the
full permissible five-cent limit.
Heavier terminal receipts and
favorable crop reports depressed
Wheat futures. A negligible
amount of mill-buying failed to
offset the decline.

Union county's overall quota for the Seventh War Loan has been
set at $964,000. $741,000 must be raised from purchases of "E? Bonds.
This amount is approximately 50 greater than required in any previ
ous War Loan Drive. Purchases for April, May and June, will apply
against this quota.
The Seventh War Loan will be one of the two great war loans
planned for 1945. More money will have to be raised in this War Loan
than ever before. The money is needed first of all to help pay for the
war, now at a critical stage, and secondly to get excess money into war
bonds as a means of protecting the men and the women who work for
you.
It is the plan of the Seventh War Loan to pay particular attention
to the sale of E Bonds to workers through the medium of the Payroll
Savings Plan. The Payroll Drive starting in April, and all Payroll
buying plus buying through cash or increased allotments during the
months of APRIL, MAY and JUNE will be credited to the Seventh War
Loan Drive.
