Britain Buys Federal Wheat Huge Purchases up Price 1 Cents Bushel at Chicago CHICAGO, Dec. l-rP)-Confir Lmation that approximately 20,' 000,000 bushels of United States government-oayned wheat had been bought by British -millers hoisted Chicago wheat values 1 cents today. Serving also as a stimulus were Canadian export sales , of about 1.000.000 bushels, including a cargo to India, the first time in many years that India has ob tained wheat from North America. The British purchases of United States wheat were made from the federal surplus commidities cor- poration, and were said to repre sent about a tenth of Great Brit ain's annual average of imports. Gains Are Saved Virtually all of the day's price upturns were" maintained in Unit ed Stated markets, but Winnipeg quotations lagged. R reason as signed was that disposal of what from this country to England would likely cut into Canada's ex port prospects. At the, close, Chicago wheat fu tures were -l cents higher compared with yesterday's finish, Dec. 63-63, May 66-, core - up, Dec. 47, May 51-, Oats -A advance, rye Bhowing - climb, and provisions un changed to a bulge of 2 cents.

"I got her the Job," Aunt Bet said, so low that only Margaret Who haooened to be Innkinv risr way at the moment heard. Of course, they didn't understand that it was a small nart of mm.: thing else.

"It's a verv oleasant nlace. rm sure," Aunt Bet said. Babs lifted her heaw evelids Sh said, "Do you mean you're actually moving away rrom here? Leaving us?" The air was electric with wait ing. There was still time for her to change her mind. She could say, "I really haven't made un mv mind" But no she couldn't bear lt An. other five years of sittinz at the family table with Daddy on her left at the head and Aunt Bet on ner ngni, at tne root and Babs op posite . . .

But Babs is so capable now. and with Aunt Bet to manage, and Sukl to cook - There was alienee. A long si lence. She spoke again. "Aunt Bet don't you think you could man age?" ... "Whv whv. vea."

Steel Decline Hits Recovery Gentle Mart Fluctuations , Held Due to Sit-Tight Policy of Traders NEW YoW, Dec. l.-steel shares bore the brunt of a mod erate' decline in the stock market today as the bloom faded from the preceding recovery. The steels yielded virtually all their gains in yesterday's upturn, accompanying the news of 'the breakdown in the French general strike. . On the average, however, losses were only fractional and no urgent rush to liquidate was apparent in the leisurely pace of the day's dealings. Traders Hold Tight " In trading haunts generally, the urge to do nothing for a while un til 1939 business prospects conld be judged better still appeared to account chiefly for the mar ket's gentle fluctuations. Year end caution, brokers noted, is tra ditional in the stock market, even when a strong underlying' recovery-tide is running. Transactions totaled 861,610 shares compared with 983,000 in the preceding session. The Asso ciated Press composite price of 60 stocks was off .3 of a point at 50.9. . Falling back fractions to over a point- in the curb were Lock heed, Bell Aircraft, Electric Bond & Share and American Gas & Electric. N. J. Zinc gained 1 and Gulf a major fraction.
