Newspaper Page TextPAGE EIGHT The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Wednesday Morning, April 21, 1937 m 2' Sides Seen Wheat Market Prices Advance on Baying For May Deliveries; Down Otherwise CHICAGO, April 10-ff)-DlYer-gent trends pre-alled in wheat dealings today, with price ad vances the rale relative to May delivery contracts, -whereas the Talne of new crop delirerles de clined. Scarcity of offerings character Ixed May wheat transactions, and led . at times to upturns of 2 cent a bushel. On the other hand, July and September, which stand for wheat yet to be harvested, fell in some cases 1 14 cents. May Buying: Heavy A rush of buying on the part of traders who are short of wheat to fulfill requirements next month accompanied the rise of May quotations. Meanwhile, Increased selling pressure developed when ever July and September wheat scored gains. Beneficial moisture in sections of domestic winter crop territory southwest and in spring wheat areas northwest was largely responsible for this in creased selling. At the close. Chicago wheat futures were lower to 1 higher compared with yesterday's finish. May $1.34 74-1.35, July 1.21V4-. Sept. $l.lS-4: com unchanged to 1 up. May 1.28 . July Sept. $l.9- 1.09 K: oats varying from set back to an equal advance. May ' 4974-50, and rye down to 1 bulge, May fl.llH. The provis ions outcome was unchanged to t cents off. Advances of May wheat were In the face of cables that said buying of wheat for Germany and Italy had ceased, although expect ed to be resumed later on. Corn, rye and oats averaged higher with wheat. As was the case with wheat. May delivery of corn displayed relative bouyancy. It was strongly emphasized that the stock of corn in public elevat ors here has been reduced to al most tero. . Provisions responded to hos market downturns. RICH CARGOES CHAPTER I fTTO Sandy Crewe tha most cx- iraorainarv iscx atout ma JL recent lar&re fortune was tba casw with which hm had mad it, passed in on measured step with no changa of stride from the grind of under-paid effort into the pluto crat class. Such chant;) of estate is not so rare, but Sandy found himself also in the quality of pub Lie benefactor. A pretty dinner partner had said to him: "Since yotrre a creative . chemist with visions of lifting- hu manity from toil, why don't you find at process to put silk stockings in easy ranre of every woman's furse, instead of their being- a cost y necessity, like coal T" And partly by accident! partly by a synthetic mixture of hard earned knowledge, pore thought and a dash of inspira tion, Sandy had practically done that thing. It bad come as easily as the accidental mixing on the stove top ef sulphur and balata to make commercial rubber. He had cut the cost ef what every woman wants by fifty percent, not of course by mak ing silk cheaper, but by the discov ery of a process that gave that tex tile twice the durability, and this amounted to the aame thing. Being a commercial chemist with the business part of his brain nice ly balancing the scientific, Sandy had collected his full share. He was . thirty-four and he reasoned wisely that aa up to this time he had been a laboratory drudge and the nexti twenty years of his life ought to ' be the best, the act of a wise man ' would be to fill them with as much rood as possible. On the breezy deck of a liner from Yokohama to San Francisco he expressed this ambition to a fellow passenger with whom he had made acquaintance the first day out. "Get a yacht," said this gentle man with prompt decision, as an other mieht have advised: "Get a wife." "With a snug little vessel, say an auxiliary schooner rig, you've got the key to the wide world. It lies just over the horizon." - This shipboard friend waa a Colonel Carlton, a majestic person age to whom one would reluctantly have ceded 75 years, with the an notation that he. was remarkably upstanding for that age. The Colonel told Sandy casually that tha best part of his active life had been spent in the Far East, Indo China principally, where he had function ed aa a mining engineer, expert mineralogist, promoter of mining groperties, a sort of liaison officer t big- commercial deals. It would appear from casual references that he had prospered greatly in these wide fields and was now returning: ' from a final tour of liquidation . of his Interests and general tying of ' odd ends to retire permanently from field and office work. He de sired, the Colonel said, to spend his remaining years in a tranquil con templation that should yet possess all the accessories of dignity and , comfort, and with this end in view ; he had .two years previously pur chased an island , in the Bahamas where he planned to live the greater . part of every year. ."There is a zone three thousand miles wide, between . 25 degrees North and 25 dejTees South Lati tude, II r. Crewe," said the ColoneL This might be called the Old Age Belt, and no person past sixty who can manage ought to get out of it between spring and fail." "You appear to be a strong re commendation for the tropics at all ages,' Colonel," Sandy said. - 1 never drank, have always been at light eater and my life has 'been in the open-air. Any elimate - is healthy f or man like that. I advocate the tropica for those) lesa robust. No neuritis, rheumatism, : bronchitis, slush-pneumonia and the curse of superheated houses. Down there eld 'folks stand out of the r swing of the reaper's scythe- that lays down such broad swaths from New Year'a to St. Valentine's day - in the higher latitudes.-. On this account advanced age ia accorded more respect in the tropics because ft is more vigorous, less of a nui sance about-the house. You-park .- mtUrr a Bala and let 'em ride," Quotations PORTLAND.

If no frosty nights develop, prospects for the cherry yield look good. With sunshine of the past few days, the bloom la com ing along fine. But even a good bloom does n't mean a good cherry crop, so at that the best cherry growers are doing now is hoping for a favorable year. Last year, grow ers recall, an excellent ' bloom was experienced' and a favorable season at this stage, but the crop was a dismal failnre.
