All Association Petites in
Valley Cleaned Up.
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.

erally steady. At the Merchants' Ex

RETAIL TRADE I5T GOOD VOUME
After Holiday Sales Ktimiilatsi Business
Wool Market Active.
NEW TOR K, Jan. 6. 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.
In retail trade after-holiday sales,
coupled with colder weather In some areas,
help distribution, heavy wearing apparel,
shoes and rubbers being prominent In the
latter.

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.

RALLIES ARE TRANSIENT
WHEAT AT CliOSE SLIfiHTLY
LOWER AT CHICAGO.
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.
