WHEAT GOES HIGH
BUT MARKET SLOW
Prices At Or Near Peaks
For Past Few Months
Attract Profit Taking
CHICAGO, Dec. 7—(A—Wheat
led an early grain price upturn
today with gains of almost a cent
a bushel but the market gave up
its advance later as dealers cash
ed profits.
Prices that were at or near
peaks of the past two or three
months attracted the profit taking.
Wheat and rye are about 3 to 5
cents higher than six weeks ago,
corn 5 to 7 higher and oats 3 to 4
higher. Lagging flour business also
contributed to the reaction in
wheat.
Wheat closed 1-8 higher to 1-4
lower compared with Saturday. De
cember $1.27 1-2, May $1.30 3-4;
corn 3-8—5-8 down. December 87
—87 1-8, May 91—90 7-8; oats 1-4—
1-2 lower; rye unchanged to 1-2

ALL RAIL ISSUES
MOVE TO BOTTOM
News Developments Show
Up Unfavorable To Car
riers On Market
NEW YORK, Dec. 7. —til)— All
j classes of railroad bonds were;
I knocked down small fractions to
| or.e and two points today as the;
j result of a combination of news
; developments unfavorable to the
■ carriers.
| U. S. governments were only
; slightly changed either way on
the stock exchange and in out
i side markets as the driye to sell
the current Treasury offering of
; $&,000,000,000 on new securities en
icred its second week.
Three separate happenings over
the week-end and today had a dis
tinctly adverse affect upon rail
read bonds. They Were: the plea
of the Office of Price Administra
tion and economic director that the
boost in freight and passenger tar
iffs granted railroads earlier in,
he year be cancelled; the failure
of the Supreme Court to hand
dowa a decision in the so-called
test case of the St. Paul railroad
involving a reoganization program
worked out by the Interstate Com
merce Commission, and a meet
| ing at Chicago of railroad labor
leaders to map plans for new wage
demands upon the roads.
Heading the retreat in fairly
lively dealings were various obli
gations of the Baltimore Ohio,
Chicago North Western, Erie,
New York Central, Missouri Pa
cific, Rock Island, St. Paul, Inter
national Great Northern, Southern
Pacific, Northern Pacific, New
Haven, Central of New Jersey,
Seaboard and Florida East Coast.
A few industrials and utilities
managed to post small gains. In
cluded were New York Steam 3 l-2s
at 106 5-8, Ohio Edison 4s at 106
5-8. Pacific Gas 3s at 102 1-8 and
Portland General Electric 4 l-2s
at 89 1-4.
Australia 4 l-2s and 5s and a
few South American loans moved
up in the foreign department. Fin
land 6s jumped 15 points to 95 on
sale of one bor:d. The issue has
been inactive lately.
Total sales of $7,252,900. par val- j
ue, compared with $10,388,500 last
Friday. The Associated Press av
erage of 20 rails lost .8 of a point
at 63.2, the biggest drop since last i
June 1.

DRY GOODS
NEW YORK, Dec. 7—((PI—Trad
ing in cotton textiles was at a
standstill today excepting a few
small sales in sheetings with high
priority ratings. Buyers were un
able to fill requirements due to
the scarcity of various construc
tions.
Only small quantities of rayon
materials were moved, with a scar
city of required materials also
reported in this section.
In the woolen trade, brisk activ
ity was reported for suitings al
thcugh offerings had dwindled. Due
fo the uncertainty over lend-lease
requirements mills were withhold

FCC TO ASSIST
SMALL STATIONS
Chairman Fly Says Some
thing Must Be Done To
Help Broadcasters
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.— W) —
Chairman James L. Fly of the
Communications Commission said
today something must be done to
help small radio stations losing j
revenue because of the war.
He told reporters that some of
the stations were hard-pressed fi
nancially because of a decrease
in local advertising from which
they receive most of their revenue.
There was a possibility of loans
Fly said, added that this would
raise the question of giving the
government a stake in piivate
broadcasting. He also expressed
doubt of the feasibility of relief
through tax adjustments.
Fly declined to express an opin
ion on suggestions that the gov
ernment might permit the stations
to deduct from income taxes as j
business expenses the time devoted
to war bond sales and other gov
ernment announcements.

"Here I am with an auto that's dying on its feet. I
need public transportation more than ever, and you
go and change the service. What's the big idea?"
• Yes ne have, and you deserve an explanation.
To the extent that we have been able, we have furnished new or
additional service to war plants and government establishments.
By minimizing standing time of vehicles, and by the speeding up
made possible through reduced street congestion, we have been able
to cut the number of vehicles needed on some routes. All this has
been done in accordance with directions from the Office of Defense
Transportation in Washington.
Uncle Sam informs us that we must get the maximum possible use
out of our tires. We’ve been asked to change schedules on our
rubbe'r-tired service until we carry at least a seated load on every trip.
For that reason, service has been re-adjusted here and there, espe
dally on the lighter lines. It’s just one more step in the government’*
program to conserve materials and win the war. We know that
you’ll understand.
