Most of the increase will come from record crops of wheat and corn. Wheat output is expected to reach 1,160,366,000 bushels, 28 million more than the July 15 estimate, some 37 million more than last year's record high.

The present 12?-a-lb. copper ceiling price, they maintained, was too low to meet these demands. To take care of this, OPA is expected to announce a boost in the copper ceiling price to 14.32? this week-enough, it hopes, to absorb...
