by Price Administrator Prentiss
Brown in a letter to congressional
leaders. Early gains were replaced
by losses ranging to 2 cents in rye.

higher, reflecting J overnight reac
tion to house passage of the Stea-
sall-Bankhead bill to nr event deU i
duction of benefit payments in set4
ting price ceiling&j but buying de
mand lagged and moderate selling
soon reversed the trend. : Later! j
stop-loss, orders were uncovered
and the finish was near the day's1
lows.
