GRAIN MARKET RALLIES TO RETAIN FORMER GAINS Yesterday's Advance of Three Cents A Bushel Maintained by Rapid Recovery After Drop. CHICAGO (JP) After profit taking knocked wheat prices down about a cent a bushel at the opening, the market rallied when selling subsided today and then maintained yesterday's advance of more than three cents.

Most of the news upon which traders based operations was of a bullish nature, but inclination to take the buying side was not as strong as yesterday. There was no sign of relief in drouth sections of western Canada. Light to good rains were reported in parts of the domestic spring wheat belt. July and September corn was slightly higher during much of the session while nearby oats deliveries also showed some strength. Rye was practically unchanged.

Provisions declined slightly as a result of some profit taking. Around midsession, wheat was 1-8 to 5-8 lower compared with yesterday's finish, July $1.15 5-8, September 1:16 3-8, and com was 1-4 higher to 1 1-8 lower, July $1.23, September $1.08 3-8.

WHAT'S THE REAL NEWS IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS (Continued from Page One.) the rump leaders.

Unable to harmonize them, it would rather play with neither group and would far rather go home as Garner did. When the Barkley-Black-Minton-Schwellenbach group beat the Robinson amendment by 49 to 34 and the Byrnes amendment 58 to 25, a cry of rejoicing went up among all simon-pure new dealers and Roosevelt partisans. This might mean, they said, the big break in the "sit-down strike" against the Roosevelt program. Several were heard saying they felt good for the first time in months. Such rejoicings are premature.

Relief was an easy issue on which to win. But the rump leaders have tasted first blood. And their in-surgence may turn out to be the most important political development since Roosevelt asked congress to let him pack the supreme court.
