HIGH PRICES

Liverpool, October, 13.--The Corn Trade News said today that Russin is Joining Argentina as one of the nations trying to extort high grain prices from Britain on the strength of world grain shortage,

paucity of shipment offerings owing to the Singapore holiday, also by the evidence of better factory and stockpiling demand. There are unconarmed rumours that the United States has submitted a counter-bid to the Russian offer for Ceylon's entire output, whlets failed to arouse much interest.

Deler rentiment after the close of business indicated that the mar- ket is ready to extend its rise, given the lenst encouragement.
