The Decatur Daily Review from Decatur, Illinois • Page 7

November 29, 1941 THE DECATUR REVIEW PAGE SEVEN Late Setback Removes Early Gain by Grains Chicago (AP) Brisk buying activity. mostly representing coverings of previous short sales prices as much as 2 cents and soybeans almost 3 cents today before the grain market reacted and lost some of its advance. Purchases were inspired principally, pit traders said, by modification of the price control bill before passage by the House and upward revision of official figures of parity, prices. Washington reports indicated that federal statisticians had raised the mid-November parity prices of farm products substantially because prices which farmers have been paying for supplies they consume turned out to be higher than originally estimated. This change in parity levels will affect the minimum ceilings which could be imposed under pending price control legislation, traders pointed out, but officials said it would not affect the loan rate on corn, announced about two weeks ago.

The list dabbled in slightly mixed trends at the start and. while scattered favorites managed to hold on to small advances at the close of the beief proceedings, fractional declines were widespread. Dealings continued relatively lively because of persistent offerings to establish losses for income statements and transfers of around 400,000 shares were among the largest for any Saturday this year.

Optimists had a fairly good business picture to bolster their agruments. notably another batch of cheering dividends, but few apparently wanted to step out on a biuing limb with the tension between this country and Nippon at the present critical stage. In addition, those who were a shade bullish declined to go slow pending immin ent decisions in railway and coal mine controversies. Passage by the House of a much-amended price-control bill left Wall Street cold and battle bulletins from Russia and Africa brought little change in conservative sentiment. Commodities pushed up briskly in the wake of House concessions to agriculture on parities placed in the price law passed yesterday.

Price Rule Continued from page 1 Dewey (R-Ill) limiting the purchases to those designed to stimulate the production of high-cost or marginal producers and permitting the President to have existing agencies of the government do the buying. Steagall proposed to substitute a three-member board to administer the law, hoping to still criticism that the original provision would make Leon Henderson, regarded as the probable choice of the President for administrator. an "economic czar."
