A slight expension in demand in morning trade lifted key issues fractions to around a point. Buyers soon lost interest, though, and gains were either trimmed or eliminated entirely. The result was. a fairly even mixture of small ad vances and declines, with advances holding a slight edge.

Merchandising shares were among the better performers. Gains rucning to around point were posted for Associated Dry Goods, Montgomery Ward, Sears Roebuck, J. C. Penney, Woolworth, and Spiegel. Others higher included Republic Steel, Youngstown Sheet, Stude-baker, Goodyear, Caterpillar Trac tor and Illinois Central.

On the losing side were U. S. Steel, Bethlehem Steel, General Motors, Chrysler, Western Union (down around a point) and General Electric. Corporate bonds moved narrowly.

Trading volume picked up on the sell-off, but still was not very large. Dispatches stating that good rains had been received in central west Saskatchewan, extending over the Alberta border, apparently caused part of the late selling in wheat. Moisture previously' had been very light in this grain-growing region.

Hedging pressure again was a factor in corn, as it was yesterday, although bookings of cash grain fell off from the high rate of the past two days. They were still quite high, however, being reported at 92,000 bushels before the market closed. Receipts were: Wheat 153 cars, corn 107, oats 67, rye none, barley 28, soybeans 49. Hogs Hit $20 in Price Advance Series Hog markets advanced rather sharply Thursday, butchers moving 35 to 85 cents higher on the various grades -while nearly all butcher hogs advanced 50 cents. Top bids were up to $20 and $20.25.

All grain prices dropped Thursday, the No. 2 yellow soybeans going down to $2.08, a decline of three cents. New No. 2 red hard or yellow hard wheat dropped to $1.73, a two-cent loss, No. 2 yellow corn declined to $1.21 and new No.

2 white oats to 48 cents, a loss of one cent each. There were no price changes Thursday in the local produce markets. Grain Markets Decatur Cash Grain New wheat. No. 2 red hard or yellow hard, July delivery, $1.73.
