The indutrial average reached a new high since September 9, 1937 while the utility was at its best since April 21, 1937. Rails also were higher but they failed to make up the sharp decline of Tuesday. The general recovery was as cribed to an improved technical position after two sessions of con solidation, to the Truman an nouncement seeking a $7,000,000, 000 cut in war outlay, and to outlook for tax reductions for in dustry after V-E day. News con tinued favorable, including a rise in car loadings, and several im proved corporation reports and dividend actions. Butter Stocks Grow As Sales Slacken PORTLAND, May 3 (UP) Butter stocks today were report ed to be accumulating among retailers and churners as con sumers find it hard to find the necessary ration points. Prices were unchanged. . Trade in the egg . market held firm as prices remained at OPA ceilings. CHICAGO J . GRAIN CHICAGO, May 3 (UP) Less tavorable crop reports from the southwest, expectations of heavy government flour orders over the week end, and prospects of en larged export demand turned grain futures bullish on the board of trade today. , Wheat finished the day up 1 'A to 2'i cents a bushel; coin up to 1; oats up 'a to 1; rye up l'fc to 1, and barley up Vi to 1. The wheat market reflected the optimistic outlook on grain requirements abroad and the con tinued tight cash wheat markets at home. An added factor was assurance from the office of price administration that millers would be guaranteed costs on govern ment flour orders. portland Livestock PORTLAND, Ore., May 3 (UP) Livestock: Cattle 50, calves 25.

Reliable informants said the capitulation of German foices in Denmark was arranged tenta tively some time ago, The coun try was cut off by the British push to the Baltic. Collapsed nazi censorship indicated that the Danes control their own country again. Reports from the United States said the Germans isolated in northwestern Holland were ready to give up. The Paris radio said the foreign minister of Major Vidkun Quisling's puppet government of Norway has arrived in Copen hagen to discuss the surrender of perhaps 250,000 German troops in Norway. A broadcast by the Hamburg radio in the last hours it was controlled by the nazis indicated that surrender arrangements for the Czechoslovak redoubt around Prague were in progress. A broadcast decree by Ham burg purported to declare Prague u "hospital town" apparently an open city, not to be defended. It said negotiations for the "re organization of political condi tions in the protectorate" of Bohemia-Moravia had begun. Only a few days ago the Ger man radio said the loss of Prague and now-fallen Berlin would mean the loss of Europe. A German diplomat in Zurich told the Exchange Telegraph agency that Doenitz had dismiss ed the entire nazi cabinet which served Adolf Ft tier and was up pointing as new ministers only those men whom he believes will have the confidence of the allies.

TlIAT rougish twinkle from a pair of bright young eyes! A priceless possession. Yet so often it is dimmed by needless eyestrain. Mankind grew up out of doors where eyes had ample light from the sun. Today, living indoors, many eyes suffer from lack of good light. Now science is "moving the sun" indoors. When the war is over we can all enjoy boun tiful indoor daylight. In the meantime, let's observe these four rules to ward off eyestrain.

The British second army in the noith has linked up with the Russians on the Baltic and at several other points northwest of Berlin, serving Denmark and Norway from the reic hand trap ping countless thousand!! of enemy troops. German Morale Broken Everywhere German morale appeared to have broken on the nazi anouncement of Hitler's death. Fighting in the northern reich apparently was all but ended. The British worked feverishly to disarm the hordes of German soldiers streaming through their lines. Hamburg, the second city and greatest port of the reich, was occupied by the British without firing a shot after its nazi de fenders hid declared it an 'open city." DRIFTED SNOW FLOUR SPECIAL! ro-ib.
