Wheat Prices
Show New Gains
Chicago, July 7 VP) Wheat
rolled on upward to new peaks
for the past live months and
longer on the board of trade to
day. It was the third straight
day of sharp advances in active
dealings.
The market had to take a lot
of selling orders, but mill buy
ing, short-covering by local tra
ders and purchases from com
mission houses were enough to
take care of all the selling.
Gains, however, did not match
those of yesterday.
July wheat sold at a new
high since Feb. 1, September and
December at a peak since Janu
ary 31 and March and May at
their best levels since trading
started in these contracts.
Traders attributed the upturn
to additional flour buying by
bakers, news that the govern
ment had re-entered the cash
wheat market yesterday and
further unfavorable comments
on the spring wheat crop in the
northwest.
It was almost entirely a wheat
market. Oats did well from the
start, but other commodities
could share only slightly in the
bullish enthusiasm. Lard again
sank with some deliveries going
to new seasonal lows.
Wheat closed y4-l higher,
July $2.02 -2.02, corn was
1V4 lower, July $1.37-, oats
were higher, July 63,
rye was hi-2Vi lower, July
$1.40, soybeans were 4 to 6Yt
lower, July $2.46 -2.46, and
lard , was 7 to 25 cents a hun
dred pounds lower, July $10.32.

Portland Eggs Up
Portland, July 7 UP) The
price of eggs went up a cent a
dozen on grade A and AA large
today, the second jump in as
many days. Traders said a short
age of local top grades caused
the boost, Imparts from mid
west producing areas may increase.
Stocks Decline
Up to a Point
New York, July 7 VP) The
stock market declined today for
the first time in six sessions.
Losses ranged from fractions
to around a point.
For a short time in early trad
ing, enough demand developed
to give the price level a small
lift. Buying interest soon slack
ened, though, and the market
settled back and coasted
through the day at slightly low
er levels.
The setback followed a state
ment by President Truman that
he was bullish on the economic
situation.
Late in the day demand
showed signs of reviving and
many issues climbed up from
their lows for the session.
A good amount of business
was done with the turnover at
the rate of 900,000 shares for
the full session.
Yesterday the market capped
a three-week rise by hitting the
highest level in six weeks. The
recovery followed a drop of a
iVi year low on June 13.
Lower most of the time were
U.S. Steel, General Motors.
Chrysler, Montgomery Ward
Schenley, United Corp., Western
Union, Radio Corp., American
Tobacco, and Twentieth Cen
tury-Fox.
Holding up fairly well were
Packard, Goodrich, Douglas
Aircraft, Johns-Manville, East
man Kodak, Standard Oil (N.J.)
and Texas Co.
faly Protests Use
Of Dinar in Trieste
Rome, July 7 VP) Italy has
protested to the U.S. and Britain
against Yugoslavia's decision to
substitute the Yugoslav dinar for
the lira as legal fender in the
Yugoslav-occupied zone of Tri
este free territory.
Italian Foreign Minister Carlo
Sforza handed the protest to the
American and British ambassa
dors. Sforza told the envoys
Italy also will protest to the
United Nations against the fi
nancial measures adopted by
Yugoslavia.
The Italian minister said the
introduction of the dinar and of
the Yugo-lira in Trieste's Yugo
slav zone represented harmful
measures against the local popu
lation and aggravated the situ
ation caused by previous Yugo
slav measures.
Alsea Highway Closed
The state highway commission
said today that the Alsea high
way would, be closed at Scott
creek from. 10 p.m. next Tues
day until 4 a.m. Wednesday be
cause of construction. Scott
creek is 1.4.5 miles east of Wald-
