As the final hour nnnred, some ol the aviations had minor losses, and steels, utilities, rubber and store I stocks all showed spotty movements The day's turnover promised to reached about 500,00 shares. Motors displayed considerable activity but turnover was only fair, prices were higher in steels, air- crnfts, rails nnd a scattering of manufacturing stocks.

Store shares I found some takers at improved prices and so did metals. Much brokerage comment of the market's quiet and cheerful behavior emphasized the extent to which day-to-day war news had ceased to exert Influence on price trends. It was suggested that a few months ago news like that of the fall of Kiev and German progress In the east might easily have sent I the market Into a tail-spin. of the rails appeared to have discounted an expected dip In last week's freight loadings totals to be announced tomorow. Usually rising at this time of year, loadings Were cut by the recently settled "captive mines" coal stoppage.

Eclls, Freeporl auctioneer, was on the block offering stock and machinery for the 25th season on this farm, drew a large crowd of buyers from Illinois as far east as Chicago, southern Wisconsin, and Iowa, and grossed $20,600. Competition for farm machinery was as keen as that for the live stock sold, due to the fact that farmers are apprehensive that their needs may be curtailed on account of defense production.

An 8-year- old tractor sold for $275, a corn binder, corn plow, and hay loader brought $160, $95, and $100 respectively. One hundred and seventy head of grade heifers were sold with a top of $132.50. Sixty-five of this number ranged in price from $85 to $132.50. Top price on 100 coming two- year-old Holsteins was $75. with nearly all between $70 and $75.

Expanded buying lifted grain prices more than a cent a bushel today while soybeans rose more than three cents at one stage. Grain brokers attributed much of the purchasing to a renewal of trade bullishness due largely to inflation talk. The London disclosure that a large food reserve is planned for post-war use and further statements about the extent to which this country will supply food to Great Britain attracted attention, although U. S. wheat is not as yet one of the commodities required.

Announcement of an Increase in reserve requirements of banks as a means of checking inflation and the Morenthau statement urging that federal controls be applied to arm prices attracted attention but price reactions which occurred were attributed mostly to profit taking. Receipts were: Wheat, 17 corn, 221; oats, 33. Wheat rose as much as cents at one stage but due to late profit taking closed only to 1 cent higher than yesterday, December 1.21% to 1.21 Vi; May. 1.25% to 1.25 Corn was 4 to cent up, December 81 to May 86V4; oats, to cents up; rye to 1 cent higher and soybeans Vi to 24 cents higher. Soybeans borrowed strength from higher meal futures prices, a firm oil market and the premiums quoted for cash beans but later ran into profit taking.

Earlier in the day strength of cotton and securities attracted some buying in the grain pits. GRAIN AND PROVISIONS Previous A yearling bull sold for Many Buyers Feeding pigs weighing from 60 to 100 pounds ranged In price from $7 to $14 for 250 head sold. Brood sows, two of them with ten-pig litters each brought $105. Old sows were too heavy to attract buyers and ranged in price only from $45 to $50. The ten acre tract on which the sale was held was lined in all directions with cars of buyers who attended from over a wide range of territory.

One load of cattle went to St. Louis buyers, and several to Iowa and South Chicago areas. The Leverton brothers, both of whom are bachelors, informed Auctioneer Eells that he was holding their last sale and that they had decided they had been In business long enough. Before the sale was over their mother, Mrs. Moses Leverton, who is 85 years old and the housekeeper on the farm, told her sons that she was "too young to quit now," and that they must hold another sale next year.

Mrs. Leverton, who seems years younger then her age and is an expert in making rugs, greeted many friends as she took a keen interest in the sale, and convinced her sons that they were not yet ready for retirement. the sales room as well as In the sailors tile don't like being called offices and public lounge on the! tas have to work these wea- mezzanine. i pons. and there's plenty of oppor- Among the new features is a deep tunit for your Joe, even though well cooling system for the comfort he on 'y a raw "boot" today, to of Kresge customers, a root beer de- I earn himself a specialist's rating as a gunner or torpedoman.

The employment of local workers, and the purchase of Preeport and Illinois products wherever possible, make this shopping center an important part of the growing prosperity of the city and state.

Being the best shot in his home town isn't going to help your Joe very much when it comes to firing a 16-Inch naval "rifle," which shoots a "bullet" weighing a ton more than 20 miles.

ILLINOIS RELIEF CASES DROP SUBSTANTIALLY IN YEAR ENOEOJUGUST, '40 Chfcaso, Sept. aid was provided for 116,374 home relief cases last month compared with 173,503 in August, 1940, the Illinois Public Aid commission reported. Relief rolls were reduced despite a decline from 105,194 to 64,659 in the number of WPA employes, the commission said.

Private employment accounted or a reduction of 17,003 cases; failure to seek continued relief, in many cases probably because of jobs obtained in private industry, accounted for 13,807. and transfer of relief clients to WPA rolls eUral- lated 27,210 cases. STAGGERING WALK MAY INDICATE OVERDOSE OF INSULIN, NOT WHISKEY Chicago, Sept. al who weave as they walk are drunk some staggerers may need merely a shot of pure oxygen instead of a night In jail to straighten them out. The oxygen treatment for insulin users was reported today by Dr Ernest Gellhorn of the University of Illinois at a scientific symposium during the University of Chicago's 50th anniversary celebration.

In a study of impaired sight, Dr Gellhorn said doses of 100 per cent oxygen would remedy foggy eyes and dizziness caused by insulin in the control of diabetes. Oxygen deficiency resulting from an upset in the balance between sugar and insulin in the body, he said, frequently will cause the eyes to become foggy, irregularity in walking and dizziness. As a result many persons have been thrown in jail for drunkenness when all they needed was a little oxygen to counteract the effects of too much Insulin. Administration of carbon monoxide to stimulate the breathing centers of the brain or pure oxygen to relieve their shortened breathing will bring sufferers back to normal in a very short time, Dr. Gellhorn said.

Burch, a member of Ohio's Republican central committee from 1932 to 1936 and a former state senator, said the accusation would be refuted at the proper time. The indictment, returned at I Washington yesterday, resulted from a justice department investigation of publishing houses suspected of being financed and controlled by Germany. It charged that Burch used $10,000 supplied by Karl Kapp, former German consul at Cleveland, to buy and circulate propaganda pamphlets and publications.

The Indictment said he campaigned through pamphlets against the lend- lease bill.
