Filial Hour Profit Taking
Cuts Adrances, Turns
Some Into Declines : .
NEW YORK. Sept 7.(rP)---
The . stock market moved: ahead;
briskly at times today but final
hour profit" taking cut many ad
ranceB and ' turned : others Into
declines. .. ; '. :. ": : - 'fcx
Prices started no from'.tliex le
gtnningr, ; gained- momentum, thien
slipped toward midday. Another
burst of buying followed, but ,vtt
failed to hold - through the' latter
part of the session when offer
ings were fairly heavy.
Volume was far over that of
th past two days, with trans
fers totaling 1,697.280 shares
with 3,942,840 yesterday. The
Associated Press average of CO
representative stocks added .1 of
a point at 60.2.
Brokers noted that today's buy
ers were inclined to break away
from the purely war benefit
stocks And chose as well those
likely to be aided by business re
covery in this country. The
theory was that many of these
had been at about present levels
earlier la the year when it was
thought Industrial activity would
not suffer any spring lag. The lag
came, but summer production was
better thin had been expected
normally.
Many Forecast Upturn.
Some analysts have been hold
ing that, conflict or no conflict,
the market was behind the busi
ness level and that the recent
upswing might forecast a new upturn.
Among the groups which held
gains at the close were the re
tall stores, metals, motors, rails,
chemicals, sugars and some of the
miscellaneous manufactur
ing shares. On the other hand
steeis, runners and utilities were
heavy.
The war in Europe was by rib
means forgotten, but traders con-
Hops
feosed themselves at sea as to
Us duration or the form subse
quent developments would take.
An Italian report that Hitler
would gobble Poland then sue for
peace with, Mussolini as mediator
was carefully- discussed.
US government loans slipped
then came back In the bond mar
ket, obviously, dealers said, under
federal, reserve bank support. Do
mestic corporate bonds were like
wise hither. -v ' ' .-''?.
In a scrambled curb market
gains --ranging to more than a,
point-were-ecored.

, PORTLAND, Sept. ',: f-p)Re-cent
sales Indicate a shortage of
imported hops because of the Eu
ropean war, Oregon hop growers
and buyers reported today.
The hop harvest la Czechoslo
vakia and Jugoslavia probably
will be Interrupted by the war,
thus wiping out the local grow
ers' problem of Imported hops
and surpluses, they said.
Because most of the American
hop importers are easterners, lit
tle Information can be obtained
on the 1939 prospectus.
Latest sales, have been at 25
and 26 cents and indications are
the price will reach SO cents.
Growers said 3000 additional
pickers could be used in the Wil
lamette valley for 10 days or two
weeks'.
Scio Agricultural,
Conditions Said Good
SCIO Agricultural conditions
are reported favorable in the Scio
area as result of an Inch and a
half of rainfall during the latter
part of August. Much fall plow
ing and seeding already have been
done and thousands of acres will
yet be sown, it is stated. Pas
tures are being renewed.
Water courses were somewhat
swollen as result of freshets and
wells and springs that have shown
eirects or a ary summer are re
ported considerably replenished
by recent rains.

War Effects Felt in Salem as Sugar,
Flour Stocks Depleted, Prices Rise
- - ' By BEULAH CHAPMAN
Salem housewives and grocers are learning what short
age in a time of plenty may mean, with runs on staple conv
modities nearly aepleting supplies of sugar, flour, beans and

Housewives, deciding to play safe and stock up with ne
cessities when war was declared in Europe, have barpd tTa
shelves of. the corner ff rW u

warehouse supplies. Since the
same action has been taken all
over the country, wholesalers, too,
are finding difficulty in getting
orders filled.
Declaring that there is "no ex
cuse" for the fear which caused
the, sudden run, one Salem whole
saler yesterday admitted . that his
warehouse is entirely out of sugar
andlthat, his flour stock is very
low.1 All other . Salem wholesale
companies report very low stocks
of Bugar and flour, as well as low-er-than-u8ual
supplies of beans
and rice.
Sugar Price Soars
Sugar was being quoted whole
sale yesterday at around $6.50 per
100 pounds. This represented a
raise of about 81.40 since Tues
day, lt was said. Price is so unsta

only if subject to price ruling at
date of shipment. '
Flour, which has been advanc
ing about 40 cents a day every day
since last Friday, was quoted at
around $7 a barrel wholesale yes
terday, i
Both white and red beans have
advanced $2.50 a sack during the

nunarea. shortening is up cent,
while lard is up about 3 cents.
Some advance Is also shown In
soap.
Consumers Blamed
"Although we cannot immedi
ately fill all orders, there Is no
real shortage," one local whole;
saler said. "Central warehouses,
are bulging with many of these
products. Housewives, who are the (
first to complain about rising
prices, are themselves to blame
for the situation." i
A divergence of opinion was 1
shown as to whether prices would j
remain at the new high, or would
settle back to a lower level when (
the first burst of buying is over, i
Some grocers believe there will be
nothing to keep the prices up in
another week or so when home
pantries are completely stocked.
Others believe that some rise In
