GRAIN
CHICAGO GRAIN
CHICAGO, Oct. 2—(/P)—Grains
broke sharply in late dealings
on the Board of Trade today
when only a moderate amount of
selling pressure disclosed very
few resting orders in under the
market. Wheat and corn broke
the limit, but wheat rallied
slightly at the finish.
Brokers said there was a big
“air-pocket” in the market. Re
alizing sales could not be fill
ed without knocking prices down
% to % cent between transac
tions. On the down-turn stop-loss
orders were uncovered, expand
ing selling pressure.
Wheat closed 5% to 8 cents
lower, December $2.38%-$2-86,
corn was 7% to 8 cents lower,
December $2.28%, and oats were
3% to 4 cents lower, December

NEW YORK, Oct. 2—OT—Many
stock market leaders were
moderately depressed by light
profit cashing today although as
sorted pivotals and industrial
specials continued to exhibit re
covery tendencies.
Professionals bought here and
there on the belief the technical
comeback could be extended but
some floor traders and customers
lightened accounts to await
foreign developments, plans for
European dollar relief and the
results on general business of
mounting living costs. A break
in grains futures was a sobering
influence.
Trends wavered after a fairly
active and lively opening. Low
quoted issues in the new $5-to
$10 margin class accounted for
much of the volume although
the majority failed to get any
place in particular. Bidding re
vived here and there in the final
hour and the close was only
mildly irregular. Transfers
dwindled to 850,000 shares from
1,150,000 in the preceding ses
sion.
Composite Up
The Associated Press 60-Stock
Composite was up .1 of a point at
64.9, the fourth straight upturn
for this barometer. The advance
was due to the presence in the
index of a number of good plus
signs but actually there were
more losers on the day than gain

COTTON
NEW YORK COTTON
NEW YORK, Oct. 2——Cot
ton futures turned weak in late
dealings today, influenced by the
sharp break in grains, and closed
30 cents to $1.30 a bale lower
Mills were good buyers in
early dealings when the market
advanced more than a $1 a bale.
When buying was satisfied, how
ever, the market turned lower on
hedging which was followed by
a late burst of liquidation.
There appeared to be little buy
ing support through covering
against sales of cotton to the
government and traders esti
mated such operations have now
been completed in the futures
market.
Crop news was generally favor
able, with the weather clear in
most of the belts and the crop
movement now in full swing.
Although spot cotton sales at the
10 primary markets were running
a little more than double from
a year ago, hedge selling was
relatively light. Traders ascribed
this to the fact that many mills
were taking up cotton directly
from the gins for immediate use,
reflecting low cotton stocks and
the good demand for textiles.
Futures closed 30 cents to $1.30
