Trading Standards Abused or Commodity Exchange Unit Under Fire
Washington AP reports scrutiny of the Commodity Exchange Authority over alleged trading abuses this year as soy futures rose to 12.90 a bushel and wheat futures topped 44 a bushel.

Caldwell defends current forms but seeks more powers to curb violations, impose penalties, and enforce orderly liquidations and multiple delivery points.

Stock Market Falls After July Rally Wanes
The New York stock market slipped for a second consecutive week wiping out most of July gains. The Dow fell 17.16 to 892.38 as rates and political uncertainty weighed on investors. Volume reached 62 million NYSE shares with 1,270 decliners to 487 advancers. The Treasury issued a 2 billion tax-anticipated bill to record highs, and CitiBank-led banks boosted prime rates to 9.4 percent, drawing mixed reactions from traders and officials.
