S e p L . 2 Holden of war shares cautiously reduced, their positions in the stock market; today on - the "peace news from Europe. --, Losses of steels, aircrafts, chem icals and other 80-called "war babies" previously on the skids widened under a steady flow of offerings. ; Many were down 1 1 to about 2 points at the finish. : Outside i the war groups, the selling was light and declines mostly were fractional. A few ad vanced, including i motors. Trans actions shrank to 1,129,810 shares from 1.573.374 yesterday. It was the quietest full trading session since the war started. Peace Offers Affect Indications Hitler might ; be preparing a peace offer to the allies on heels of: the collapse of Poland and Russo-German agree ment seemed to overshadow good business reports from home. All around the markets the war pattern was mewed. US gov ernment bonds, ! which took a hard fall at the outset of the hos tilities, continued 1 a previous ral ly. Foreign and top-grade do mestic corporate i loans also re couped more of their war losses. Homestake mining and Inter national Nickel both depressed on the supposition war wonld hurt rather than benefit their earning power for special rea sons went counter to the main trend. Homestake rebounded 24, setting an example for other gold shares. i General Motors and Chrysler both were op fractionally on what appeared to be ! the traditional swing to automotive shares ' on the approach of the New York .motor show, scheduled to open next month.

Bulletin will say to morrow: -. i . i "The wool market has slowed down perceptibly his week and prices have shown a tendency to level off on a basis, clean, of $1.05-11.10 for class in fine wools, the most typical grade, as against 67-68 cents, "prior i to the war's declaration. Other grades have advanced to a com parable position. - "While the manufacturers, i es pecially In men's wear lines, have made heavy galea latterly, tHey appear to be fairly well covered In raw material for the most part and Inclined to watch develop ments for the moment. "Little in the way of news has drifted through from the foreign markets. A small sale at Cape town, resulted in most of the wools being withdrawn, although American bids at 93-95 cents clean basis for decent 12-months wools were : made. No solution with respect to the Australian clips has yet been announced. !We8tern operations have been materially reduce both because of the lessening supplies and higher asking prices by the grow ers.

Grain Tumbles Then Recovers Peace Talk, Rains Inspire Selling That Lowers Prices 2 Cents CHICAGO, Se&t. 9ff)-Ea-rope's peace talk and rains that brought some relief to domestic farm belt drought districts in spired selling that tumbled grain prices about two cents a bushel here today. How eyer, about half of these losses were regained be fore the market closed. Early ssaion declines of as much as 2 cents carried wheat down to the lowest level since September 5, with December at 81, within about a cent of the government loan rate here and 8 cents below the war-boom peak. December corn fell to 48, low est since September 1 and 11 cents below the boom high. Baying Recovers After mldsession. buying pow er recovered and there was a ral ly in both pits, propelled by short corering. Buying here was associ ated with gains of as much as 8 cents from early lows at Winnipeg. The Winnipeg upturn was credited to purchasing by a cash house which found the pit with only scattered selling or ders. Chicago wheat closed -l4 lower than yesterday, December May 82-. Rains that splattered on fields of dust revived hopes that win ter wheat already planted may be saved and that seeding else where may be delayed no long er. However, crop experts point ed out that much more rain Is needed to correct the moisture deficiency. Clearing weather was forecast for much of the belt and lower temperatures with light to heavy frosts were predicted for some areas. were fairly firm on wool selling but the extreme prices realised early in the week were difficult to secure in recent trad ing. Some demand was being received for fine territory wools in original bags. Mostly $1.05 to 91.08, scoured bssis, for good French combing lengths, and at $1.02 to $1.04, scoured basis, for aver age to abort French combing lengths.

J- Staiger, is at a Port land hospital where she under went a major operation early this week. Miss Staiger has been ill for a number of years. Oregon Furnislies Most Hop Activity Pacific coast hop markets ranged from fully steady to slightly firmer during the week ended September 27, states the agricultural marketing service in the weekly hop review. While trading was somewhat less active than during the previous week, demand from domestic dealers and industries was sufficient to absorb current moderate offer ings fromj growers quite readily at prices .which ranged from lev els reached at the close bf the previous week to slightly higher.
