News Boosts
Wheat Prices
CHICAGO, Oct 20 ff) -Tak
ing . some inspiration from two
overnight news developments
which -were interpreted favorably,
traders pushed wheat prices high
er Tuesday: Otner grains made
an effort to follow the bread cer
eal upward, but lost their gains
before the close, ; ;
Wheat was up more than a cent
at one time, with trading more
active than in recent sessions, and
closed on gains of cent
Corn finished lower, oats
lower to Y higher, rye Y low
er to higher and soybeans V
lower to higher.
? The - two - news t developments
which encouraged traders were:
First, the introduction of a reso
lution in the senate by Sen. Clyde
M. Reed .R-Kans.)' designed to
modify office of price administra
tion ceilings on flour; and, second,
announcement that the commod
ity credit corporation had been
instructed to purchase No. 2 or
better cash wheat at .the loan
price. ; : .
The Reed resolution , provided
that it was the sense of the sen
ate that flour ceilings should not
be fixed below parity, and fur
thermore, soil conservation or
other benefit I payments should
not be deducted from parity in
arriving at the ceiling. If the
resolution ' were ' passed, traders
