The OREGON STATESMAN,' Salem, Oregon, Friday Morning, November 13, 1931 PAGB NINE s- SsedfBet Disregard Grains' Weakness But Railroads' Break Starts Landslide RUSSIA IS SHIPPING GRAINS AGAIN ' P V 4 ' "I1 V A 9 EGG PRICES GAIN TWO CENTS HERE By JOHN L. COOLEY NEW YORK. Nor. 12 (AP) Stocks managed to disregard the weakness of grains during much of today's session, but lost heart In tbe trading, or Just after the day's best rally. Closing prices were irregular, with the balance, as measured by the averages, favoring the down side by a narrow margin. The market was even quieter than yes terday, sales totaling 1,450,482 shares. Bonds were somewhat mixed, although firmness in United States governments and many high grade loans was con structive. Surer bullion recovered almost a cent of yesterday's loss. A last minute break in New York Central, which was off 4 points net, unsettled the list, espe cially the rails. Central's decline suggested short selling based on "Wall street gossip concerning the future of the road's dividend. Un ion Pacific sagged after the reg ular dividend had been voted. Most leading carriers closed lower. . Stocks opened firm, began to saunter lower around noon and then rallied in tbe final hour when unofficial word that the cop per curtailment conference might be prolonged was circulated. The late unsettlement resulted in mod erate net changes for utility and Industrial issues. U. S. Steel, American Tele phone, American Can and Case closed from a, fraction to about a point off. Allied Chemical, Gen eral Motors, American Tobacco, McKeesport Tin Plate and Contin ental Can returned gains. Radio was weak in sympathy with Ra-dio-Keith-Orpheum's decline, while Westinghouse and General Electric, both large holders of ra dio, eased a point. Homestake boomed 9 points but fell back 3 from the top. . Many People Attend Monmouth's Program MONMOUTH, Nov. 12 The Armistice day program, featured .Wednesday morning in the Nor mal school auditorium was large ly attended by residents of the town as well as by the compli mented guests and student and faculty members of the school.

CAP) Strength of the local ess situation continues with, more or lest strengthening of the eastern situa tion during; the last few days. Lo cally the market Indicates a gen eral decrease in the fresh supply although the spurt of last week was taken to reflect a general opening of the fall-winter laying season. No change was announced In the price of fresh stock by the Pacific co-ops while private In terests are trailing behind. There appears more or less criticism in the trade regarding the continued sale of storage stocky as fresh goods. The storage stock Is get ting the ice house tsste and con sumers are beginning to complain. There was no change in the but ter market trading trend. No ses sion of the exchange was held and open market prices on both cubes and prints as well as butterfat were stationary. Demand for lire chickens con tinues a very keen affair and espe cially for the medium weights. In isolated cases a fractional advance Is noted in trading between deal ers. There is only a nominal tone in ducks and geese. There appears a scarcity of country-killed meats at the mo ment with resulting strength in both hogs and calves as a result. There is a continuance of the pre vious firm ton for lambs. What Is understood to be the last fresh halibut of the season. Is here from the north. Owing to the very liberal stocks the price on mediums has dropped to He here, with chicken mostly ISc pound. Owing to the closing season on Paget Sound together with a. de mand tor Oregon coast stock from both, the north and south, a firmer tone is reflected for fresh silver slde'and Chinook salmon at Is and lee respectively. There are plen ty t erabsv H pool wim DRAW GOOD PRICES The Oregon Turkey Grower pool to be sold, shortly, will draw several cents higher thaa the Boise, Idaho, pool sold tor, la opinion of Henry Domes of Mo Coy, largest Polk county grower who was in the city yesterday.
