I Page Six Eg GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER, ES GRANDE, PRE. Saturday, January 30, 19321 Steady Tone In Egg Trade; No Price Changes . PORTLAND, Jan. 30 W While there appeared a generally steady tone In the local egg trade for the week end, quotations were unchanged as a rule. - The steadiness here appeared In direct contrast to the extreme weakness again reflected in the Cali fornia as well as eastern trade al though this showing Is somewhat re lieved by the fact that Portland and other northwest prices are already at - an extreme low mark. That the starting or the storage egg input season Is about to ma- ; terlallze In the Pacific northwest is. Indicated by the lack of competition among former keen sellers. Another change appears in the sit uation. Producers are no longer ped dling the stock from store to store ing that they at last realize the seri ousness of this. j There was no open market change In the price of butter locally for the day. On the produce exchange the cube market was also stationary. No change In the price of butterfat. Market for live chickens continues to reflect a very slow trading tone here with, little change in the list. Here and there offers of 9c for light weight hens are heard but there ap pears no snap in the buying. There Is a very good demand local ly for dressed hen turkeys but the call for toms is rather alow with shade of weakness reflected. Sales of hens are quickly made 21c lb. gen erally for No. 1 grade. . There was a rather acute shortage of hothouse rhubarb In the local trade for the weekend as a result of the almost general failure of arrivals from the Sumner section. Local offer ings were far below requirements, "Roller" potatoes from Yakima are clogging the local trade with result ing weakness In the general situation. There is little snap In the market the only bright spot at tne moment Do ing for Porkdale offerings. . Further delay In arrival of carload lots of cauliflower from California to gether with the impossibility of se curing stocks out of the Roseburg section, resulted In a famine In the local market for the weekend. In general there continued a fully steady tone for country killed meats along the wholesale way for the. week end although the market for hogs was not any too good. Lambs, bulls and fancy calves were sought. . PORTLAND LIVESTOCK PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 30 (T) Cattle 2270, calves 132 for week. Bet ter grade steers showed depression during tho week, showing a loss of 16a and more in spots. Other steers, she stuff, bulls and calves wore gen erally unchanged.

They were directed to gather at definite concentration points and a cystem of flashlights signals was ar ranged by means of which officials ashore could keep the American ves sels In the Yangtse Informed of the eventi In the city. Word from Canton said the author!, ties down there were sending a squad ron of airplanes to Nanking "for war aa.rut Japan." Long. Lines of Soldiers One aviator who flew up from Chengchow this afternoon said he had seen cne long line of soldiers In a column scores of miles long, march ing toward Nanking to Join the army against Japan. Additional forces formerly under Chiang Kai-Shek's command also woro moving on Nanking to offer their services, word from the north said. Tho events of the last few days at shanghai have completely changed the atmosphere here. A week ago there was nothing but gloom. Now there Is an overwhelming sentiment In favor of war. The Chinese stand at Cliapel seems to have changed the spirit of the nation overnight. No U. S, Troops There Thero are no American or other foreign troops in Nanking. Neither American marines nor regular army men are maintained thoro. Tho small American civilian colony consists mainly of missionaries. State department figures show 173 Ameri cans In tho city of whom 70 are wo men, 40 men and 48 children. fH'NFIKK AT N ANT AO SHANGHAI, Jan. 30 V) Rapid gunfire was heard this afternoon from Man too, tho walled Chinese city south of tho French concession. Heavy fir ing also began again In tho Chapel Chinese area north of tho interna tional settlement.

LEAD TO CUM 1 hed By Morris J. Harris SHANGHAI, Jan. 30 (!) Seething with tho wildest disorder, Shanghai tonight awaited with grave appre hension unmistakable confirmation of reports from Nanking that the national government had decided to declare war on Japan.

Every man of them carried a pis tol in his hand, his finger on the trigger. They swarmed through the streets on foot and in automobiles, dashing through the winding alleys, searching In every corner for Chi nese. Gunfire Sweeps Streets Japanese marines on motorcycles with side cars swept the streets with machine gun fire and there were gangs of Japanese civilians armed with clubs and baseball bats. This menacing mob mixed with thousands of Chinese refugees riding in rickshas, staggering along afoot, all headed toward quieter sections. By their own statement the Jap anese were looking for snipers and other Chinese whose actions were questionable, but It was not appar ent by what standards they Judged those actions. Time after time small groups of Japanese were seen hustling through tho traffic with a lone Chinese cap tive, or perhaps two or three, hur rying them no one knew where. Frequent S layings In many cases the Japanese burst Into shops, dwellings, buildings of any kind where they might find a Chinese. Often they got in by break ing down the doors and usually they beat the unfortunate Chinese they found. Frequently they killed them. As this wave of lawlessness swept over the Chtneso business district, all tho shops were closed and planks j were nailed across the shoo fronts. Thero wero no lights insido and from tho front tho places looked deserted, but in each one were dozens of frightened Chinese. Tho Japanese circulated reports that Chinese snipers wero picking off Japanese residents in the quarter and that it was imperative to root them out. If that was the purpose the Job appeared to bo dono under no central authority but by individuals and gangs who were a law unto them selves. Gang Attacks Hospital Ono such gong, each member with pistol in his hand, tried to break into St. Luke's hospital, operated by thQ Amcrlcan Episcopal nusslon. They Eala Blupers were ln tne builal ng but nospltBl officials held them, off and ,mRlly thoy left wltnout getting in. This wild disorder swept the few municlpal policemen to the sidelines but now and then ono could be seen half hidden in a doorway, looking on helplessly. To neutral observers who watched, it appeared that nothing coidd pre vent tho disorder from sweeping In to tho Hongkew Chinese district nnd thero was a general belief that the vicious fighting which took place ln Chapel would be repented ln Hong kcw. In the center of this whirlpool stood ono of Shanghai's leading ho tels. f Impel a Furnace Chapel Itself was rapidly becoming unfit even for battle. It was a fur naco with great columns of smoke rising from tho ruins of tho ram shackle Chinese houses. As dark- uess fell the flames engulfed still mora buildings and the sky was lurid for miles around. Refugees struggling into the set tlement said at least a thousand buildings already had been destroyed and tho fire was still spreading un- checked.

Those who live along the border of the settlement were evacuating their homes and taking refuge at points further removed from Chapel So menacing was tho situation in Hongkew that virtually all the for eigners Jiving in that section start ed moving into the International set tlement tonight.

"Hold Shanghai at all costs!" , ;x Ktreiigtheit Nanking Defenses ' In the meantime authorities were strengthening the defensive works of Nanking itself and troops were being rushed here from other points to replace those sent to Shanghai. Tho government , issued a vigorous statement denouncing the Japanese attack on tho Chapel sector and urg ing tho signatories to the league covenant, tho Kellogg pact and the nine-power treaty to take immediate and effective measures so that "Jus tlco and International obligations may not bo trampled beneath the heel of Japanese militarism." Intense Indignation was expressed by General Chiang and other Chi nese military leaders who previously advocated A policy Of moderation to ward Japan, as a result of the events ot the last 30 hours at Shanghai.

APPEAL TO FOREIGNERS SHANGHAI, Jon. 30 VP) The mu nicipal council was reliably reported tonight to have appealed for Ameri can and British troops to protect the international settlement. The council handed United States I Consul General Cunningham, the 'senior consul at Shanghai, a protest i governments concerned. It also was said the council had APP"1"1 to the American and British fe f reinforcements to be made DunliahiD "c Members of the council said they had come to the conclusion the set tlement was in grave danger of at tack by the Chinese because the Jap anese are using it as a base of op erations, unless many more American and British troops are hurried, to Shanghai. The nearest American forces are at Tientsin and Manila. British troops are at Hong Kong. There Is on American force of 1200 men at Shanghai. The British have 2000 and the French 1700.
