At the dST's hlahS Of 88 for
December and 89 (or May,
wheat sold within less than a
cent of the war-boom peaks es
tablished last. Thursday, wmcn
tind is the highest levels
reached here in 18 months.
Statements of government of
ficial Indicating that an advance
in farm commodity prices is
wanted and reports of improved
milling and flour demand were
factors in the trade. Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace supplemented
yesterday's statement by Presi
dent Roosevelt concerning wheat
nrices bv adding that an orderly
advance of farm prices to parity
levels would be viewed with sat
isfaction provided it was due to
real consumptive demand. Wal

of arrlcultural products aunougn

One factor encouraging late
nrofit takinc in wheat was the
continued slow export business
due partly to the unsettled ship

operations have been revived.

Divergent Trends Shown
as Traders Cash
in Profits
NEW YORK, Sept. 14
Widely divergent trends ruled in
today's stock market as traders
cashed farther profits on some
of the recent buoyant "war in
fants" and switched to issues that
had been neglected.
The market acted a bit weary
throughout The ticker tape "was
behind for a brief Interval at the
start wnen prices receded as
much as 2 points or so. There
was a subseqnent recovery and
merchandising, rail equipment
and specialty stocks were given
a play, but dealings were slow.
With gains and losses of a
point or thereabouts fairly well
divided at the close, the Associ
ated Press average for 60 issues
was unchanged at 62.5. Trans
fers amounted to 2,007,610
shares against 3,761,340 the day
before. It was the smallest

Says Neutrality
Bill Might Help
Lumber Industry
President Roosevelt's "cash and
carry" neutrality bill probably
would be beneficial to the lum
ber Industry, Ralph W. Martin,
vice president and general man
ager of the Spanlding Logging
company, said here yesterday.
"As far as I can see, lt would
give us a chance to do a gen
eral business with Europe, some
thing that I don't see how we
could accomplish under the pres
ent neutrality law."
Making the reservation that
"anybody who predicts the fu
ture In war time is getting out
on a limb," Martin said it was
entirely possible the war would
aid the American lumber indus
try rather than injure it. It is
too early at present, however, he

Pendleton at waich a large num
ber of Oregon wheat growers dis
cussed the problem now facing
them because of the outbreak of
hostilities abroad.
"Should wheat acreage be in
creased because of war or
should farmers plan to stay
within their AAA allotments!"
That, said the I county chairman,
is the problem1 confronting our
farmers. -'
It has been pointed out that
Henry Wallace secretary of agrl-1
eulture, has announced that the
present world surplus of wheat
is more than enough to supply a .
year's needs, and quoted Wai-
lace's advice I that "American !
farmers proceed with their pro
duction plans as if the outbreak
in Europe had i not occurred.
The chairman said that many 1
farmers, with an eye on rising;
market prices.! no doubt will be 1
tempted to Increase their wheat l
acreage unless! they learn more 1
about the world wheat situation 1
and decide otherwise.
