UMPQUA STOCK MOVED Eastern Buyers Begin to Realize That Supply Iteld on Coast Is Light. All petite prunei In. the Willamette val ley, which were held by the Oregon Grow- ra' Co-operative association, have been cleaned up In the sales of the lait two days. A large tonnage of the associa tion' holdings of petites In the Umpqua a-lso went at the same time. Increased prices on California prunes have created a demand for the Oregon tock and several cars have been sold this week, si part of them going to for eign buyers. There has been a tendency on the part of eastern buyers to discredit Informa tion coming from the coast that holdings f prunes are at present very light, but they are beginning to realize that a shorts-Age actually exlsta and the market Is showing signs of a rapid awakening. Com menting on the prune and dried fruit sit uation in general the New York . Journal f Commerce says: "With more than the flxat half of 1032 available for the marketing of the dried fruit crop of last season, California ship pers are doing their best to Impress upon the- Jobbing trade that there Is a small supply of all products. The only surplus Is in prunes and in this commodity, with eight months left of the selling season, the remaining stocks are no more than suffi flcient. Apples, wh'ch are always a com petitor of prunes, are in light supply aluo and not in sufficient volume to serve as substitute. Moreover, the packer says, jobbers are not carrying long lines, so that when the country comes to replenish It will find that California has little to offer and that the surplus under strong control will be sold only at advances. This baa been the nature of all California ad vices for more than a month and the sentiments are expressed by large and small operators alike without a contrary statement. Local buyers are not vitally Interested In prunes at present. They pick up what they need on spot and some buying orders for forward shipments have been placed, but there is not the same bullish sentiment here that Is so general In the west." LOCAL WHEAT MARKET 19 STEADY No PresHure to 811 by Farmers in the Northwest. The wheat market was quiet and gen erally steady. At the Merchants' Ex change northern spring bids were 1 cent lower, but offers for other grades were the ame as Thursday. Not much selling attempted by farmers.

Bradst reel's to morrow will say: Post-holiday quirt features trade and Industry as a whole, but the influence of counter currents1 in retail trade and In some, of the big Industries relieves the situation of some of the usual earty-ln-year Inactivity. Thus, while results of Inventories or preparations for sending salesmen on the road occupy wholesalers, there Is some life seen in cotton goods at large primary markets. Wool Is active and advancing, though the goods market is quiet and raw silk Is strong, with Decem ber consumption 18 per cent off from No vember, but over double last year's.

Sue ts 4.9iM, SAVINGS IN AMERICA TOTAL 27 BILLIONS $250 Per Capita Represented by Deposits. BOND HOLDINGS LARGE Thousands of Breadwinners Thrown Out of Employment Saved From Privations by Thrift. Treasury department records Indi cate that thrift has found a, firm foot hold In America, Figures made pub lic by the savings division show that despite the economic depression and unemployment the savings of the small Investors throughout th United States total approximately $27,000,000,000. Figuring: the popula tion at 108,000,000 a per capita sav ing: of about $250 for every man, woman and child. In the nation is shown. Of this vast sum of working dol lars $21,000,000,000 is invested in gov ernment securities while the remain ing $6,000,000,000 is represented by de posits in more than 300,000 savings banks. To the holders of the third liberty loan bonds Included in the invest ments referred to the government Is today paying semi-annual coupon in terest amounting to more than 17, 000,000. At the same time the holders of these securities are being invited by the savings division to reinvest their interest money in thrift stamps and war savings stamps with the view of keeping as much as possible of this money at work. Government war issues are held mainly by persons of small means, according to treasury officials. No lesson that came out of the war was more thoroughlyj learned than that which inculcated ' in the wage-earner and the child the habit of systematic saving. The seeds planted during the great national Emergency are now, during the post-war period of read justment, beginning to bear fruit. Reports of the controller of the currency show that the savings banks deposits total approximately $6,000,- 000,000. Deposits during the period of depression have exceeded the large withdrawals. The savings have proved the salvation of thousands of families where the breadwinners have been thrown out of employment be cause of the general curtailment of production. LIBERTY BONDS HIGHER RAILWAY MORTGAGES ARE ALSO STRONGER. Industrial Issues Weaker in New York Market Trend of Stocks Reactionary. N"EW YORK. Jan. 6. The stock mar ket today continued its recent Irregular or reactionary course. Dealings diminished visibly, however, and there viere only oc casional traces of involuntary liquida tion. Such strength as was shown by the stock liBt resulted mainly from easier money rates, fall loans fell from 4tt3Vi per cent at midday. The latter figure represented the lowest quotation In almost six months. Time loan rates also re laxed. 30 and 60 days being made at 4 per cent. Oils, shippings and motors rebounded one to almost three points from yester day's final prices, but fell back for the most part In the pressure directed against General Asphalt and various specialties before the close. American and Baldwin Locomotives. Mercantile Marine preferred. American In ternational and Mexican Petroleum were among the few conspicuously strong is sues. Rails were a negligible factor, mov ing within fractional limits. Total sales amounted to M),000 shares. Liberty bondB added to their recent re covery and first mortgage rails strength ened on a substantial Investment inquiry, but Industrial Issues eased and foreign offerings showed no definite trend. Total sales, par vulue, aggregated $17,275,000. CLOSINO STOCK QUOTATIONS. (Furnished by Overbeck & Cooke company Ol ruruKiin.i Sale. High.

No Decrease In Accumulations at Visible Supply Points Ex port Sales Canceled. CHICAGO, Jan. 6. Moderate setbacks In the price of wheat took place today, largely owing to absence of signs of any immediate big lessening of accumulations at visible supply points. The market closed weak, c to lc net lower, with May $1.11 to $1.11 and July $1.00 1.00. Corn finished unchanged to o higher; osts a shade off to c advance and provisions up 2c to 7c Much of the selling in the wheat trade, especially during the last part of the day was in the .nature of liquidation, confi dence on the part of the longs having been given a special jolt by word that seaboard exporters had canceled the purchase of 48.000 bushels. Bulls' failed to make any lasting headway, with reports of a better milling demand or with advices that dry cold weather southwest had caught the crop without adequate snow protection. The day's range of prices, however, was the smallest in some time. Corn and osts were steadied by a brisk export inquiry for corn and by some ex port call, too, for oats. Higher quotations on hogs gave firm ness to provisions, although business was light. The Chicago grain letter received yester day by the Overbeck A Cooke company of Portland follows: Wheat The market held remarkably well today, censidering the unsnlmity of bearish sentiment. Apparently the foun dation for this feeling was the absence of foreign buyln(g. sceompanied by ciatms from abroad of cheaper offerings from Argentina. The season Is Hearing when the southern hemisphere can be expected to supply the lion's share of European needs, but as sn offset to this loss of support it is almost certain that the do mestic demand will broaden materially from this time forward. In fact, reports were received today from nearly all direc tions of a marked Improvement in flour trade with millers buying futures In the varlooa markets In the way of hedging against flour sales. All In all. the outlook la for a higher range of quotations. Corn Futures maintained a firm tone throughout the session, reflecting an ac tive shipping demand for domestic and foreign consumption. Receipts of 300 csrs In the local market met a resdy demand at yesterday's basis. The anticipated In flux from the country, coincident with the reduction in freight rstes, has failed so far to materialize and the majority of ad vices from rural districts sre to the ef fect that the holder is not disposed to sell at present prices. Oats The buying of futures) today was far more Impressive than the selling and the market. In consequence, displayed In dependent strength. The cash market was correspondingly steady with a good ship ping demand and light country selling Higher prices should easily be established. Leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High.
