9 ' PAGE TWELVE heat Buying Power Causes Jump i, . Crop News, Pending . Farm Legislation L Interests Trade CHICAGO. April 2-JP)-A fresh guest of buying power that spread broadly in the final hour today swept wheat prices up more than three cents a bushel, establishing new high prices for the; past ten months. Buying of previous short sellers accelerated the brisk upturn. Trade attention was focused pri marily on crop reports revealing extent of winter wheat abandon ment in some localities and on congressional action on pending farm aid legislation expected to affect grain values. Wheat dipped fractionally at the opening, continuing the set back which had been under way since Monday, but then rallied. Buying expanded after midsession and after noon reached substan tial proportions, with selling lim ited except at advanced quota tions. Gains from early lows reached 3'.2 cents, and, while final figures were slightly below the ,highs, the close was 2-2?8 higher than yesterday, May 92 Va 82, July 9138-12. Funeral Services Held Monday ABIQUA Graveside services were held Monday afternoon for Rosella May Woodington, 75, at the pioneer Miller cemetery here. Mrs. Woodington died Saturday at West Salem. Survivors include two sisters, Mrs. Stella Lenon and Mrs. Lulu Herman, West Salem. r Legal Notice NOTICE OF SALE OF REAL. PROPERTY BY ADMINIS i TRATOR. No. 6270 .
