Grain Movements Quiet in Narrow Trading Range
Grain moved quietly in a narrow range with Chicago prices showing small declines across wheat corn rye and marginal changes in oats and soybeans. Government estimates place 1942-43 domestic wheat supplies at about 1.425 billion bushels, including winter and spring wheat and durum, plus a 630 million carryover. Hog price gains lent some corn support as futures eased across the United States and Winnipeg markets.

Government Studies Retread Plan For War-Time Tires
Government rubber experts A T McPherson and Frank G Roth will visit Norwalk Tire and Rubber to study a retreading process claimed to let motorists drive through the war. The plan uses crude and reclaimed rubber to retread tires, with a Norwalk dealer asserting ample scrap rubber exists to retread civilian tires for the war duration. Simpson said the process is widely doable and would yield about 5 000 miles at 40 mph per retread tire.
