A substantial demand for rye came into th grain market today through commission houses and prices advanced about 2 cents in an active trade. Other grains Influenced by the rye strength, movia higher, wheat gaining about a cent.

Brokers with Northwestern connections were active in the rye pit and some of their buying was attributed to milling interests. Poor crop prospects and expectations of heavier demand for the grain for livestock feeding, distilling use and exports supported the advance. At the close wheat was higher. July J144i. Sept SI.

The fact selling came out in mere driblets was an encouraging sign for bullish contingents. The ticker tape frequently was at a standstill throughout the brief proceedings and transfers of 433,380 shares were among the smallest for the year to date.

Near the close small gains and losses were pretty evenly divided and a wide assortment of issues hold at Friday's levels.

An indictment charging Thomas Whalen, former St. Louis District Assessor, with the murder two years ago of Charles L. (Cutie) Bailey, a racetrack tout, was nol-prossed yesterday by Prosecuting Attorney Stanley Wallach of St. Louis County, who explained that evidence necessary to convict Whalen is not sufficient at present. Wallach added that the decision to dismiss the murder charge was reached after he conferred with Government and Army authorities.

He said both the Army and the Federal authorities "want" Whalen. A Government fugitive warrant is pending against Whalen. Whalen has been free under Gen El 1.40 Texas Co 2 49 3' Tw C-Fox Vig 20 FUTURE GRAIN PRICES uen Kds Gen Mot lien SCo: A. 52 Air 27 MERCHANTS' EXCHANGE. Msy 22.
