Wheat Up on Chicago Mart; Ceiling' Eyed CHICAGO, July 29-(P)-De-mand for wheat could not be call ed urgent today, but it neverthe less sufficed to send all contracts into new seasonal high ground. Firmness in the bread cereal helped most of the rest of the market to overcome early hesi tancy. But that did not apply , to July soybeans. They were offer ed down 10 cents, the daily limit, right at the start and never man aged to climb off this bottom. Wheat closed 1-1 higher, corn lower 'to higher, oats higher, rye y lower to higher, soybeans unchanged to 10 cents lower and lard 15 to 30 cents a hundred pounds higher. Much comment was heard about one item in President Tru man's message to congress the request to sell the government stocks of farm products at cur rent price support levels, provided these are not below the market level. Some grain men felt this put an "absolute ceiling" . on grains at around ' $2.31 a bushel on wheat, $1.62 on corn and 77 cents on oats, which are the estimated Chicago! prices in the support program. Only corn is selling well under these suppprt prides. Stallion Fights1 Off Assault From Cougar ALBANY.
