DECATUR SUNDAY HERALD AND REVIEW Decatur, Illinois, July 7, 1957. Brokers Await Official Wheat Forecast Chicago, July 6 (AP) Grain brokers await the government's July 1 winter wheat: production forecast with more than usual interest because of the somewhat confused weather picture. The report will be issued Wednesday, forecasting also total production of spring wheat, corn, oats, barley, rye and acreage for soybeans. Improved weather and harvesting conditions caused wheat to slump this week on the board of trade after an upturn of three weeks. Corn, oats and soybeans managed to stay slightly ahead of a week ago.

New style wheat closed Friday to 5 cents lower than a week ago Friday. Corn was to higher, oats higher to lower, rye unchanged to down, soybeans unchanged to up, and to 27 cents a hundred pounds higher. C. M. Galvin, crop expert for Francis I.

Dupont this week predicted winter wheat production of about 679 million bushels, down about 57 million bushels from the government's June 1 forecast and 43 million less than his own June forecast. Galvin forecast total wheat duction at 918 million bushels, down 52 million from the last government estimate. Industrial Shares Reach New Historic High Point New York, July 6 (AP) Industrial shares rose to a new historic peak this week, giving Wall Street plenty to celebrate on long Independence Day weekend. For the stock market as a whole prices on average were back at the previous 1957 high. Despite the July Fourth Holiday, traditionally a dull time for the market, signifying the start of the summer vacation period, the average this week made its biggest weekly advance since the week ended Dec.

8, 1956. The Associated Press, average of 60 stocks rose $4.20 to $186.40, exactly equaling the 1957 high. The industrial component reached a new high of $277.30, topping the previous summit of $276.30 attained Aug. 2, 1956. The Dew-Jones Industrial average was at a new 1957 top of 516.89, and Standard Poor's 500-stock index reached a new yearly high of 48.69.

Veteran Wall Streeters could recall no parallel for the vigorous rise on the eve of July 4. Advance predictions of a dull week because of the holiday and the vacation period were a dime a dozen. BOY, AFTER PUPPIES, TRAPPED UNDER HOUSE East St. Louis, July 6 (AP) Daniel Wells' dog gave birth to pups underneath his home here and the 9-year-old boy became wedged between the house and the ground when he went after them Friday. His mother, Mrs.
