OREGON Markets Trading in Stock .Market Irregular NEW YORK, April 25 (UP) Anticipation of a sharp hike in margin requirements possibly to 100 per cent brought an irregu lai decline in the stock market today. The utility group managed, however, to retain a minute gain that sent its average to a new high since July 31, 1937. A few special issues gained 1 to 2 points. The main list lost frac tions to more than a point. Wall Street believed that a rise in margins would have nothing more than temporary psychologi cal influence on prices because most of the buying in the mar get at the present time is for cash. However the trading ele ment ran up caution signals and remained aloof from the list. POHTLAND DAIRY PORTLAND, April 25 (UP) A serious shortage of poultry is being felt on the Portland dairy market and hardly enough chick ens are coming to wholesale plants to establish a price, al though OPA ceilings continue. Producers are reported unwill ing fo sell their chickens through established market channels. Few turkeys are on the market. Prices remained unchanged. Prices on dairy products: Butter Cube, 93 score, 42Vac 92 score, 42V4C; 90 score, 42c; 89 score, 41 Vic pound. Eggs Prices to retailers: AA large, 44c; A, large, 42c; medium A, 39c; small, 35c dozen. Cheese Oregon triplets, 27.2c; daisies 27.7c; Oregon loaf, 27.9c; jobbers pay tec below quota tions. CHICAGO GRAIN ;- CHICAGO, April 25 (UP) Grain futures failed to recover I rfter' an early decline on the board of trade today. Profit tiking, combined with bearish I reports of the wheat cany-over I and excellent crop reports influ 1 meed sentiment.

Wheat finished the day off i .v u..,ki. tt i , to U cent a bushel; corn off V4 to u -.,. i, j . tt at ... 14, oats unchanged to off , rye eff lis to 2'4, and barley off 2 to 2.
