JJJJJ. 7 i STOCK GAINS ARE ERASED Market Is Counter to Trade Trend NEW YORK (LIE) The stock market last week lost virtually all of the previous week's gains, dropping about a billion and one-half dollars in sharply contrasted trading, which averaged under a million shares a day. Sentiment turned bearish when John R. Steelman, reconversion director, reported to congress that unless business upases its demands for higher prices vd labor stops insisting on higher wages the nation faces a cycle of boom and bust.

Another disquieting factor was the assertion by Sen. Owen Brewster Maine) that the $8,000,000,000 break in prices in September resulted from the withdrawal of "smart money particularly British," in anticipation of an economic collapse in this country. Industrial statistics, however, continued to show booming conditions. Carloadings rose 17,430 to a new high since July 20 at 916,483, and gave every indication that the all-time high of a million cars or more, predicted several months ago, will be realized either in October or November. Coal production rose to tons from 12,335,000 a week earlier and compared with a year ago.

Electricity production of 4,517,874,000 kilowatt hours compared with 4,506,988,000 a week ago and 4,038,542,000 a year earlier. All sections of the slock list shared the week's decline with industrials especially affecte'd by Steelman's remarks. Chemicals had the widest losses, ranging to 4 points in Allied.

Can't Rust or Roll ids 8 GRAIN TRADE IS UNSETTLED ProfiMaking in Weakens List Minneapolis grain futures were jittery last week as news failed to develop any bullishness and sensitive speculative groups started to take profits. There was little out of Washings ton to encourage ownership of grains. Fourth quarter export quotas on wheat, flour, oats and corn were disappointing. The Commodity Credit corporation made no purchases during the week. The grain permit system, which was introduced in the Northwest Oct.

1, unsettled the market somewhat and buyers were not quite certain how to preceed. Flour mills continued to hold hack on sales until wheat prices are lowered or ceilings are advanced.

Winter wheat dropped 1 to 2 cents after ruling firm to strong earlier.

Durum was firm and un-changed, ordinary to good types bringing steady prices and fanner kinds holding strong. Red durum was down a cent. porn started easy but firmed to close anywhere from 4 to 8 cents higher on off grades. Oats ruled mwtly steady to 1 cent lower. Rye wis easy.

Top barley was firm to strong. Feed barley was hard to sell and impossible to quote, much being hald on track as sellers tried to gej permits for shipment to outside markets. Flax held firm at the ceiling.
