Grain Losses Recovered in Closing Rally Chicago, Aug. 10 (AP) A good rally toward the end of today's Board of Trade session brought wheat prices up around yesterday's close, and wiped out some of the losses in feed grains. Shortly before the closing bell some profit cashing developed. At the start of the session all grains carried an easy tone.

Corn weakened under liquidation, which to other pits. spreader mill buying of wheat against sales of flour to the government steadied wheat, and later short covering in corn, combined with commercial buying to develop a rally. During most of the session traders were busy evening up for the government crop report, to be released after the close of the session. Brokers anticipate the estimate will place corn production around billion bushels. Receipts were: Wheat 146 cars, corn 84, oats 62 and soybeans 4.

10 (AP) Buying interest perked up in the stock market today after a sluggish start. Morning losses of fractions to around a point were either trimmed or in many cases converted into modest gains. The revival in demand was fairly widespread. Turnover increased as prices rallied. Gains appeared for General Motors, Chrysler, J.

I. Case, Douglas Aircraft and Phelps Dodge. Still on the losing side, though by very much, were U. S. Steel, Firestone Tire, International Harvester, American Telephone and Westinghouse Electric.

Cotton remained under pressure following yesterday's sharp decline which reflected a higher than expected government estimate of the size of the new crop. In the over-the-counter market short-term government issues moved downward following the boost in the one-year certificate rate. This was to be expected because the price of a bond moves in the opposite direction from the yield. Since the yield i is scheduled to advance, the price declines.
