ThT OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon. Friday Morning.' January 22. "1932' PAGE SEVEN - G6 PRICE LOWEST ran TIBTH Extras now 16 Cents With j Mediums 14; Further Weakness is Seen PORTLAND, Jan. 21 (AP) Lowest price named for eggs la the local. market during the cur rent month are now being quoted here as a result of complete de moralization o the eastern trade. 'At the reductions, the local -market ! still on a, higher basis' than the eastern market, cost of get ting supplies to the Atlantic con sidered. The eutting of 2c off the price of eztras to 16c with standard 16c and medium 14c Is confirmed by manager Dixon of the local co-ops, effective Friday morning. New York dropped to 23c for extras and 19c for mediums, which means 14c here for extras and 10c for mediums. Some of the cash buyers hare reduced their buy ing price to 8-10c doz. country. - In general only weakness is re flected in the market. for eggs. No change in the price was announc ed by the Pacific co-ops, but some deals In mediums are reported at reductions. These are weakest. Very small supplies of live chickens are reaching the local trade but practically none appear wanted at the moment. Prices continue weak all around with killers determined to clean up their batteries before buying more. There is good local demand for turkeys but little change is shown in prices. Buyers are generally ot fering 19-20c lb. for fancy birds. Home demand for immediate con sumption is good at th low price Columbia river smelt schools are badly scattered. The high wa ter and driftwood are blamed The fish are said to be swimming mostly in the brush along the shore. Priced nominally a nickel a pound. Run of steelhead salmon ap pears about over in the Columbia and the coast streams are closed. Fresh Alaska kings are arriving and selling 25c lb. with head on. Crabs are scarce with orders un filled. Limited sales of onions are re ported at Willamette valley points. Business in carload lots continues 3.50 sack net to grow ers. Most growers are still unwill ing to accept price tenders. On account ot superior quality, the movement of local hothouse rhubarb is better than 'the sum mer stock on the Portland mar ket. Price cutting has practically . eliminated profits of handlers.

STOCKS BUT FHIII DIP Trend Indecisive With one Rally in Rails Which Doesn't Hold Long NEW YORK. Jan. 11 (AP) A diffident stock market todar failed to reach a decision on trend. Although during most of ths session prices looked a little stronger, there was a sell-off to ward ths close and the averags had a fractional decline. Volumn was at l.37,76t shares. Trading seemed to. be under professional auspices. Operators in ths rail groan were reluctant to leare ths carriers Idle and bid them np 1 to S points, presumably convinced an agreement on ths wags cut was surely eomlng. Oalns In the rail shares tapered off eventually and a few. includ ing New York Central. Canadian Pacific and Southern Pacific, fin ished with small losses. U. S. Steel touched a new high for 1932, but lost virtually all its gain. Certain market circles feel the corporaton will make an other quarterly dividend payment of fl on ths common; n.everths less, there Is no unanimity of opinion as to what action will bs taken. The fourth quarter of 1931 was undoubtedly the poorest, but such probably depends on how the directors view current trends. American Tobacco shares wars banking on the hops of sn extra dividend. Other issues in ths group quieted down. General Elec tric and General Motors sagged. American Telephone crossed 111 before slipping back. American Can, Union Carbide, Consolidated Gas. Westlnghouse and Western Union closed steady to firm. Cass, Sears Roebuck. Allied Chemical, International Telephone and Ra dio reacted fractionally. BTJTLDraa GOES OX JEFFERSON.
