Newspaper Page Textme OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Saturday Morning, October 21, 193$ War Buying Fever Cools, Stocks Drop Another "Mercy Death" Case PAGE EIGHT Trad ling Slow; Transferslight Recently Buoyant Leaders Close Down Fractions, , Few Make Gains NEW YORK, Oct. MVThe war-baying fever cooled in today's stock market and recently buoy ant leaders took a rest in lower territory. While there were few weak spots In the list, closing declines of tractions to & point or so pre dominated. A smattering of mer chandising, utility and specialty Issues : managed to emerge with modest plus signs. . It was the second slowest ses sion of the week, transfers for the. fire hoars totalling 786,880 shares against 1,161.249 the day before. The Associated Press av erage of 60 stocks was off .2 of a point at 63. Transfers Confused Wall Street apparently was more confused than ever regard ing what Is going on in Europe. Failure of the Scandinavian con ference to bring -out any peace proposal led some to wonder whether an armistice move might come from other sources. Forecasts that next week's steel mill operations should equal If not exceed those of the current week found stocks In this cate gory unresponsive. Rails jogged along indifferently in the face Income figures. Excellent corpor ation earnings statements, extra dividends and other economic Items propped shares here and there, but left the market as i a whole nnenthused. Up 1, to around 3 were pre ferred issues ot American For eign Power, Electric Power Light and Thermold. Improved were General Foods, Sears Roe buck, Montgomery Ward, Philip jnuiris ana xveimecuit.

(AP) (USDA) The wool market in Boston was very quiet today. Quotations were unchanged but were largely nominal due to the small vol ume of business transacted. Occasional inquiries were received for small Iota of fine territory wools, but bids were gen erally lower than most holders were wil ling to consider. Business Holds Even, Says Dun's PORTLAND, Oct. 20-tirVDun,s "Review said today business in the Portlan darea held about even this week with last week's re turns. Sales were spotty and con- tinned below last year but major department stores held their gains for the year. Five per cent increases were shown by wholesale drug and men's clothing firms for the year, despite Increasing prices and re duced collections.'

Persistent drought in the southwest tended to check selling. Wheat closed -l cent lower than yesterday, December 83 , May 83-. British buying of Canadian grain Increased although the amounts taken since the war have been small. Exporters disclosed 3,000,000 bushels of wheat were taken yesterday, bringing aggre gate, purchases the past two days to almost 6,000,000 bushels. In addition about 100,000 bushels of oats and some rye and barley hare been sold to the United Kingdom. Foreign reports indicated the British and Canadian governments would attempt to check grain price fluctuations. This week Chicago shippers cleared 16,000 barrels of flour, 1,232,000 bushels of corn and 1, 231,000 bushels of soy beans to Canadian ports oil the lakes. Turkeys Get Fair Rate PORTLAND, Oct.

Oct. 20()-The Com mercial Bulletin will say tomor row: "The wool trade has passed through another drab week, dur ing which prices have been sett ling a bit lower, although It is difficult to make quotations with any assurance in the absence of sales. Best class III fine wools have probably sunk to the level of about $1, clean basis, against SI. 10 at the peak. " "While the basis upon which Britain has purchased the Austra lian and New Zealend clips has been announced at 10.75 pence (sterling) for the Australian and 9.8 pence for the New Zealand, equivalent to IS. 4 pence in Au stralian and 12.25 pence in New Zealand, this Is the average price at which the clips are taken over and does not indicate at what basis, if and when, wools may be released to this country for 'civil ian purposes. The prices will be carefully considered of course in this country and Australian wools priced more or less accordingly. "Cape wools of fine quality are being bought for this 'country in moderate volume of fully 10 cents a pound, clean basis, unaer mis market currently.
