rainMarkets -i- Maintain Firmer Tone Last Week WASHINGTON. Feb. 22 Further strengthening occurred In domestic wheat markets during the week end ing February 19, under the Influence of a broadening European demand for North American wheat, further ad vances In security markets and un certain prospects for this season's do mestic winter wheat crop, according to the weekly grain market review, of the V. S. bureau of agricultural ceo-: nomlcu. Feed grains were strength ened by the advance in wheat, but demand continued of limited volume and was readily supplied by the light current offerings. Rye was firmer with wheat, while flax advanced, stimulated by higher grain prices and very light receipts. Wheat: Pociflo coast wheat mar kets strengthened under the lnflu- ence of higher prices at eastern points, but advances were less pro- nounced because of the slow demand from domestic mills and lack of ex port business. Receipts at Pugct Sound and Columbia river terminals were relatively large, totaling 1.096 cars compared with only 376 cars for the corresponding week Inst year. The movement however, represented prin cipally the transfer of stocks from Interior to terminal warehouses be fore the increase in freight effective Feb. 20. Export mills continued to operate on the Ohlncso relief orders ond all but 100,000 barrolB of which have now been allotted. Shipments of wheat and flour continued to go for ward according to original schedules. Inquiry from California was rather alow, slnco California buyers were generally taking only sufficient groin . for immedlato requirements and wero supplying most of their curront needs from stocks accumulated earlier in the' season. No export sales of either wheat or flour wero reported, slnco local prices continued out of lino with offerings from Australia and Canada. At the clcao of the market 1 Fob. 19, B.

Bluestem hard whlto was quoted at Portland at 73o, soft and western white at 02o, hard winter, northern spring and western red at 69o per bu. sacked, for No. 1 wheat. An un usual event in the market for blue stem this season, has been tho sale of around 100 cars to Minneapolis for uso In manufacture of cereals.

VA to sales in interior centers, where out of state wheat was at a freight dis advantage Growers Income Instances were reducing stocks Tjefore the tax assessment period at the first of March, but Interior supplies were re ported at low levels and total offer ings were of only moderate volume. Inquiry for northern wheat was Urn, lted, as was also demand for Inter mountain and Texas grain. Poultry feeders were taking smaller amounts, since they have culled flocks heavily and have not greatly Increased young stock. New Crop Prospects New crop prospecte are becoming an Increasingly Important Influence In the wheat market situation and the present uncertain condition of the northern hemisphere winter wheat crop has recently bewn a; strengthening factor In the market, j The U. S. winter wheat crop made generally favorable progress during! the week, except in Western Kansas, where prospects are poor. Tho con dition of winter wheat In Europe is rather irregular. Severe freezing, without snow covering, has occurred In Austria, Czechoslovakia and some other areas. A good snowfall, on the other hand has improved conditions In Italy, Spain and Hungary, but tho outlook In the latter country Is not favorable. Lack of moisture is re ported in Denmark and Portugal, but milder weather during the week fa vored the new crop in Germany and France. Some damage Is reported to winter wheat In Russia, by alternate freezing and thawing, which caused the formation of an lco cover in De cember and again In January. The acreage of winter wheat in Russia has been increased 11.4 per. cent over that of a year ago and is ; officially roported at 32.337,000 acres. Tho condition of the crop in India, where harvest begins in March, Is only fair, with a deficiency in mois ture reported in important areas. World Shipment Hold up World shipments or wheat continu ed of good volume during tho week reflecting some improvement In European demand, but consisted principally of shipments from the southern hemisphere. Argentina ex ports wero reported at 4,218,000 bush els, and the Australian out-movement at 4,540,000 bushels. Black sea ship ments amounted to only 408,000 bushels, all of Russian wheat. Most of tho remainder of tho world's ex ports was of North American grain. Reduced supplies of natlvo wheat in Europe havo resulted in some modi fications of milling restrictions. Tho quota of foreign wheat allowed French millers has been Increased, to 20 per cent and trade report Indicate that some modification of Ocrman import tariffs Is being considered. Prices of natlvo wheats advanced in most Euro pean markets, with good milling wheat quoted Feb. 10, at Hamburg at $1.60; at Paris at l.72K and at Milan at $1.64. The market for foreign wheats also strengthened, with sales of No. 2 Manitoba from Van couver reported at Liverpool at 67 c and of old crop Argentine wheat at 68140. No. 2 Manitoba from Vancou ver was being offered at London at 6514c Argentine Rosnfo at 53c and Australia whoat from Now South Wales at 61 o per bushel, Domestic cash wheat markets wero iflrm with futures, despite sharply In creased offerings of wlntor wheat. Receipts at tho principal central west- em markets totaled 4,774 cars for tho week, compared with only 2,082 cars for tho corresponding wook last year. Tho Increased movement was attributed In part to tho Increase in froight rates effective Feb. 20 and to tho approaching tax assessment dato Mar. 1. Mill demand was rainy ac tive but a good proportion of tho of ferings was taken by elovator Inter ests for storage. Prices of ordinary protein wheats advanced around 2 c 3 cents at Kansns City, while high pro tein types hold only steady. At tho close of tho market Feb. 10, No. 2 hard winter, ordinary protein, was quoted at that market at 64 yA 55 Vic, i2'j per cent protein at 60 ( 58c, ond 13 per cent protein nt 68 per bushel. 8DGAII AND I'UH It PORTLAND.

Butter Market Steady As The Weekls Started PORTLAND, Feb. 22 VP) Butter market trade conditions are generally steady locally and along the Pacific slope. There was no change in open market quotations on prints for the day, likewise cubes. Butterfat is steady. Merely steady trade conditions are reflected for eggs. At some points weakness is shown. Locally the co-ops have the bulk of the supplies and are holding prices steady. They are supplying their regular customers but paying little attention to others. There is a generally more favorable tone In the market for live chickens hero with practically all of the lead ing interests offering 9c lb. for light weights, 12c for mediums and 16c for heavy weights. Springs are nominally . 17c. Steadiness of the cheese market in practically all sections of the coun try gives the trade a somewhat bet ter undertone. Weakness appears to havo subsided In all leading primary markets with resulting upholding of values. This applies to practically all Htock. Both Tillamook and Coos Bay In dicate malntalnance of quotations generally. While tho emergency order from the case for turkeys was reported filled, the local market retains its re cent favorable tone for hens, which are not In supply to take care of re quirements. Toms are Just holding. There 1b a limited demand for seed potatoes appearing from California. Call Is principally for Early Rose and for Burbanks but Is by no means pronounced. Trade in the onion market is prac tically unchanged with the local con suming call principally for boilers ana for No. 2 grade. Country sales are limited with buying in a small way as low as $3.60 although some business is shown recently at $i. Generally steady trade conditions continue reflected generally for coun try killed meats and especially lamb, which is being sought. Prices are unchanged for the day. Notes ol wholesale trading: Orange market is steady with a slow movement out of the south on account of rains. Demand for artichokes and sprouts remains favorable. Tcxar radishes , are down in price which la increasing the movement. Quality unusually good. Lettuce prices are again higher; tho result of California's storms. Spinach Is in better supply with Walla Walla around $1.25 $1.36, Cali fornia $3.25 for 40s and Texas $1.C0 for bushel baskets. WINNIPEG WHEAT ' WINNIPEG.

' ADVANCE OF ENEMY ARMY Continued from Page One) guarding the French concession re ported that 344 wounded CMnese soldiers passed through the gates In tho last 24 hours. This estimate did not include scores of wounded civil ians. The wounded soldiers said there had been bitter hand-to-hand fight ing in the Klangwan sector. Dr. T. K. Jen, chief of the Chinese general Red Cross hospital, said sev eral of his trucks carrying wounded from the Klangwan battlefield had been attacked by Japanese planes. The planes flew low, dropping bombs and firing with machine guns despite the Red Cross painted on the trucks, no said. He estimated that more than 200 wounded men were still on the battlefield because the ambulances could not get through the attack from the air. By Morris J. Harris (Copyright, 1032, by the Associated Press) SHANGHAI, Feb. 22 m LI eu ten ant-General Kenklchl Uyeda's pow erfully equipped Japanese army forced its way past and around the stoutly defended village of Klangwan this afternoon in the most terrific attack since hoetilitlese began Satur day and slashed a slowly retreating Chinese second line. The battle con tinued tonight. Klangwan village, defended, by its stubborn little knot of a few hundred Chinese troops with a tenacity and bravery equal to that of Leonldas and his' 300 of Thermopylae, held firm even after the Japanese line ad vanced past and behind it. Rear Defense 1 if it to red It continued to hold fast stlH later when the Chinese force to the rear of the vlllago which had assisted in its defense, began to retreat under tho smashing blowB of the Japanese assault. Tho rear dofenso was bat tered by firo from the Japanese ar tillery, from tanks and by bombs and machine gun fire from airplanes. The fall of the walled village was expected momentarily as its rear support began to slump back. The Jnpaneso drive, encircling the town of the north and pushing into the south was made through a huge gap blasted out of tho Chinese line dur ing tho forenoon. This was followed by an artillery bombardment, for which a number of additional big guns were brought up. Afterward a fleet of tanks drove forward, clearing tho way of snipers ami machine gun nests. One report said tho Japanese tanks and infantry were slowly making their way through the village under cover of a rain of shells from tho artillery. The Japanese right flank encoun tered little opposition in its drive south and west of Klangwan. The bulk of the army's strength was cen tered against this central point of tho 16-mllo line. Large contingents of new troops wero drawn from either end of tho Japanese line, towards Chapel and towards Woo sung, and brought into tho center to strengthen the thrust post Klangwan. Artillery Pounds Chinese A roaring artillery bombardment pounded the Chinese for two hours this morning. This was followed by a mossed attack by tanks and heavy sections of infantry troops' Who beat against tho Chinese lino In waves, covored by ri 'creeping barrage" from the artillery and by sweeping sheets of mti chine gun fire. In tho meantime the Japanese air planes roared ovorhead, thundering away at tho Chlneso second defense line In tho rear. Passing Klnngwan on tho north, the Japanese attackers bent slowly down on Tachang, in tho rear of Klangwan', and pressed southward, towards Chenju, indicat ing that Klangwan would soon bo surrounded and that a new attack would bo opened on Chnppel near the International settlement. The Chinese guns at Chapel began vigorously to bombard the Japanese positions In North Szcchuan road. Tho plucky little Klangwan gar rison was faced with an apparent im minent necessity of choosing wheth er to fleo through tho fast narrowing exit or to remain at their posts in danger of being completely surround ed by nightfall. Trade Punch For Punch In mid -afternoon, however, the Japanese brigades beseiging the vil lage to the east and south began to recoil from their terrific attack of tho morning. Tho Chlneso traded punch -for punch in this sector throughout tho forenoon and pushed tho Japanese back under heavy fire, Tho Japanese wedge pushed nearly two miles into tho defenses north west of Klangwan during the morning and forced tho Chlneso who were de fending that sector to withdraw four miles to tho rear. As they retreated, tho Chlneso wero subjected to con stant artillery flro with tho Japanese airplanes overhead directing the aim of tho gunners. Following up the ad vance, General Uyoda began to move his headquarters to Tienlotsu, a rail road point north of Klnngwan, and t mile and a half west of Futan uni versity. Chinese Citught Unprepared Evon though accustomed to period ic raids by Jnpaneso bombing planes, tho Chinese troops wero caught un prepared when tho Bwift pursuit planes entered the action, dealing a new kind of death from tho air. Ac cording to an eye-witness, panic fol lowed In tho Chinese ranks when these pursuit planes swooped low over tho roads leading to tho rear and raked tho marching Chinese troops, automobiles and motorcycles with bittng machine gun fire. "l was moving over the Chenju road, said a Chinese military officer who came in from the area, "several miles behind tho Chinese lines when suddenly 13 Japanese planes appeared out of the horizon. "Most of them were bombers but a few swift pursuit planes also were included In the group. They were flying high, but as they passed, over head, one of the small planes sud denly left the formation and dropped to earth with terrific speed. "I thought tho plane was about to crash, but when It wared the road it straightened out, and at tho same moment began pouring a stream of machine gun bullets in the direction of n Chinese military motorcycle which was proceeding a few hundred yards ahead of me. The motorcycle was not hit and kept on Its way. "The plane roso again, then banked flhrplyi'ancf returnee W repeat the fusillade. Tne motorcycle rmver again was not hit, but he stopped his machine and flattened himself out on the ground while the plane swept on to attack a body of our infantry which was moving towards Chenju. In the meantime the bombers also got into the action. I leaped from the car and threw myself into a ditch to avoid being hit. Soon after a bomb exploded perilously near me. When the air squadron had, passed on I drove on down the road and found great havoc In its wake. I soon came upon an. overturned truck with the driver standing rue fully at its side. It was obvious that one of the objects of the air attack was to disrupt communications be tween the Chinese front lines and the rear. Great holes were blown in the roadway and It seemed that all military traffic would be tied up for hours. Bodies of soldiers and civil-, lans who were killed by bomb splin ters or mac h me gun slugs lay here , and there." One of the principal targets for the , fire was the little group of Chinese defenders of Klanewan who had with stood a frontal attack of tanks, ar-, tillery, cavalry and infantry, for two 1 days. At midnight, last night, their casualties were unknown, but the Japanese admitted they had lost 100 men killed or wounded. Part of the area over which the battle bas been raging was Shanghai's chief vegetable garden and play ground. It Is now torn to pieces. The truck gardens are torn, up, the golf courses and the race track of tho International Recreation club looked yesterday aa if it had been struck by a Kansas twister. Cavalry horses were In the betting booths, and a fleet of tanks cluttered up the golf links. As for as one could see in all directions were burning huts of Chinese truck gardens. Here and there a tree stood alone In fields where rice, beans and other vegetables are grown for the Shang hai market. But all the Chlneso had left. The road to the front was crowded with refugees. They scarcely seemed human as they hobbled along in rags. Many were barefoot. They carried bundles and babies strapped on their backs. Women limped through the mud. carrying staggering loads all their possessions. They had not the slight est idea of their destination; they merely wanted to get away from the storm of shot and shell. They were evacuating the beggars' villages which dot the road and which, were a pic ture of misery. Americans on Guard American sold lers and marl nes guarding the northern border of the International settlement spent yester day watchfully waiting and strength ening their defenses against stray bullets and shells as the battle ap proached nearer their territory. Pol- lowing a skirmish between Chinese machine gunners and a Japanese ar mored car, the Americans decided they needed more Band bags and ar mored plate and they piled these on until they themselves were virtually buried within their defenses as night fell.

Just after the attempted Jail-break by Owen and Crosswhite I was in the outer cell of their quarters with Sheriff Breshenrs and Deputy Sheriff Kllnghammer, who were showing me the bent bar on the door of tho inner cell. The statement I made at that time was as follows: "It's too bad they didn't get clear out, as we haven't been Jaok rabbit hunting for a long time." I never at any time made the statement that I would have shot them like coyotes, and at no time was I in their quarters or any other place where they could have heard me or seen me with a drawn gun, as Owen testified.
