GRAIN PRCES DROP AS QU RESUNES Chicago Board of Trade Com- mittee Continues Soviet Short Sales Inquiry. By the Assoclated Press CHICAGO, September 26.—The grain markets moved along in the even tenor of their way today, drooping slightly under a moderate volume of sales, but without the stimulus of the sensational rumors and charges that have caused fluctuations for several days. Wheat sold a little cheaper than yes- terday, but December contracts at mid- session were quoted at 82 cents a bushel, % to 1% cents below Thursday’s finish. The Business Conduct Committee of the Board of Trade resumed its inquiry this afternoon into the situation created by heavy short selling by Soviet Russian agencles. The committee has called no witnesses and the course of its investi- gation apparently awalted counsel with Stlas Strawn, attorney for the Board of Trade, who was expected home today from his conference with the Secretaries of Agriculture and Commerce relative to the position of the board in the Soviet whent controversy.
