Wheat Rallies
From Rye"Lag
CHICAGO, Feb.' 2.-iP)-Grain
futures prices were lower most of
the session Tuesday, -largely in
sympathy with weakness of ryfc.
In the final minutes of trading,
wheat staged a moderate rally and
closed at small fractional advan
ces over the previous final prices.
At the extreme, rye prices were
off as much as three cents from
highs of last; week, due largely,
traders said, to a denial from gov
ernment sources that rye purch
ases were contemplated for lend-
lease shipment to Russia.
Wheat finished to cent
higher than ' the previous ' close.
May $1.40-1.39, July $1.39.
' : The market undertone was hea
vy most of the session. Scattered
liquidation and stop loss selling
in rye touched off the . decline.

More than 530 containers were
listed as being in use in various
states prior to the recent studies
of the national committee deal
ing with simplification. "
