the six-day stretch as the Alliea
swept into Germany and the col
lapse of the Nazis was en
visaged. There seemed to be lesa
apprehension over the return to
peacetime operations, however, aa
the week ended and hopes revived
that heavy demand for civilian
goods would stimulate virtually all
lines when the final gun was fired
in Europe.
Political optimism broadened to
some extent as an argument for
the bulls but meager volumes in
virtually all sessions attested to
the prevalence of caution both aa
regards the forthcoming election
and transition programs for indus
try. Aircrafts experienced a bulge
Friday on the theory heavy orders
for commercial liners would cush
ion cancellation of government
contracts. Steels were unperturbed
by reports the war labor board
panels might upset the “little
steel” wage formula.
The list was up Monday and
Tuesday but cracked Wednesday
and Thursday on word from Lon*
don that allied chieftains nad fix
ed Oct. 31 as the “outside” date
for the collapse of the Hitlerites.
Sluggish rally got under way Fri

CHICAGO GRAIN
CHICAGO, Sept. 16—<A>>— Most
grain futures markets turned
strong in the last five minutes of
trading today and the September
deliveries of oats and barley clos
ed with gains of 1 7-8 cents for
the session.
The late rally was started when
buying orders for September
wheat disclosed a shortage of of
ferings. Prices that had held to
within an eighth of a cent of the
previous close jumped nearly a
cent before the demand was satis
fied.
Rye was unsettled until the final
minutes of the session when locSl
demand developed for the Decem
ber contract. Shorts were nervous
and when they started to cover
prices went up sharply.
