CHICAGO, Oct. 17.— (AP)—Grain prices,
which were in near-collapse yesterday
rallied briskly today to recover much of
the Thursday losses.
Heavy buying soon after the opening
lifted wheat more than 5 cents .com 7
cents, bats 6 cents and soybeans 6 to 8
cents. Traders attributed much of this
buying to short -covering and activity by
professional and commercial interests tak-
ing advantage of the recent price break.
Later, net gains of wheat were extended
to almost 7 cents a bushel.
Wheat closed 5 to 5% higher than
yesterday, December $1.10% -1.11% May
$1.15%: corn 55-6% up, December
744-%, May 80-80%: oats 3%-4% up; rya
