to Sun. August 22nd To 25th NEW YORK (UPI) After an uncertain opening, stock prices turned easier Wednesday on the New York Stock Exchange in light trading. The Dow Jones industrial average had dropped 8.22 to 718.63 shortly before noon EDT. With selling taking its toll of the blue chips and glamour issues, declines pushed ahead of advances, 597 to 419, among the 1,453 issues traded. The market apparently lacked the strength to expand Tuesday's gain, which broke a string of losses extending over eight sessions.

The severe market slump cut the Dow by almost 76 points. Analysts said Tuesday's advance was the result of internal adjustments in the market after an unusually long decline. Despite some encouraging economic news, investors remained glum about the future course of the economy. The Labor Department reported its Consumer Price Index rose at a 9.6 per cent annual rate in July, down from the record June increase of 12 per cent, annually adjusted. The department attributed the July dip to a temporary drop in foods prices.

Interest rates, a major investor worry, showed signs of easing. Central National Bank of Cleveland, the first bank in the nation to lift its prime lending rate to an unprecedented 124 per cent on July 8. announced it has reduced the interest rate for its best business borrowers to 12 per cent. But even the prospect of lower interest rates failed to pull the investment community out of the doldrums.

RED-RIPE EACH Winning Wine Made Of Berries LEESBURG, Fla. (UPI) Eddie Hermann, San Antonio. won the top prize in the Florida Grape Growers Association's first annual amateur wine making competition Tuesday, but there was little for the sponsors to cheer about.

Hermann's prize-winning wine was made from wild blackberries. Hermann, a water conditioning equipment dealer who makes wine as a hobby, entered the same bottle of wine with which he won second place in wine making at the Pasco County Fair earlier this year. He said he picked the blackberries along the Seaboard Coast Line railroad tracks last year. Judges included officials of fruit wines of Florida Tampa, and Todd Hunter an Aubumdale wine firm. Hermann said he learned to make wine from his grandmother when he was a child and made grapefruit wine as a teen-ager.
