PAGE EIGHT Til OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Saturday Morning, January 6, 1940 Wheat Prices Trending Down Weak Winnipeg Market Is Influence; Import i Fears Aroused " CHICAGO. Jan. 5-P-Dome-tle wheat prices continued their- ; downward trend today under the lncreaflinf Influence of Canadian grain into this country. ' Although comparatlTely high US wheat prices are Insulated by . a stiff import duty, the increas ing spread between Chicago and Winnipeg quotations attracted at tention inasmuch as eastern re ports indicated Canadian wheat dow is priced less than 10 cents .bore the domestic rariety, duty paid, at some points. Chicago wheat closed at the day's low point, or cents below yesterday. May $1.04- 1.03. July fl.01-. Winni peg prices dropped 1-1M cents. with May quoted there at 86T. or about 17 cents below Chicago. About a week ago the spread was around 14 cents. Some buying of wheat that caused frequent rallies and at .one stage lifted prices U-4 abore the previous close was associated with the cold wave overspreading most of the graiu belt. Appar ently coldest weather prevailed in regions where it could do most harm where wheat was most ad' vanced and snow covering meager There were some snows, however. and the forecast indicated slowly rising temperatures and add I tional precipitation may be ex pected. B. V. Snow, crop ex pert, said on the whole snow cov ering in the southwest was insuf ficient for protection against sub- sero temperatures. Foreign export demand for Ca nadian wheat has been dull re cently, but shipping conditions were believed improved by requi- s i 1 1 o n of Snips of the United Kingdom and reduced war risk insurance rates. Approximately 39,000,000 bushels of Canadian wheat are in storage in bond in the United States for possible ex port. Huge Cement Plant for Shasta Dam Year Opens Quiet For Wool Traders BOSTON, Jan. 5-(P)-The Commercial Bulletin will say to morrow: "The year has opened quietly in the wool trade. There has been some call for woolen wools, espe eially of medium qualities but worsted descriptions have been in active. Prices hare hardly chang ed for the week, although steady. "There appears to be a disposi tion in the piece goods market to analyse the situation carefully be fore making very heavy commit ments. Some movement in the women's wear field is reflected in the sales of medium scoured wools here. Deliveries continue fair in men's wear lines. "Orders cabled for Australian wool u n d e r the new allocation plan appear to have been almost wholly for manufacturers and ap parently have been light. Little business has been done at the cape due to the holiday suspen sion but prices there are steady. In South America prices are firm er, especially for the low cross breds. "In the west, little business has been done in wool but some 2, 000,000 pounds of mohair have been cleared from Texas, mostly at 65 cents for adult, 60 cents for shearlings and 80 cents for kid."

B-i-QuIet selling again tipped the stock market scales downward today and leaders lost fractions to around 2 points. Steels, alrcrafts and motors led the retreat despite moderate strength exhibited by an assort ment of preferred issues and spe cialties. The news, on the whole, was more optimistic than otherwise. Brokers attributed the setback mainly to the desire of some traders to hold aloof pending fur ther light on what congress will do about the budget and taip and the question of how much of a se-aonal reaction may hit busi ness during tne next several months. Average Off The Associated Press of SO stocks was off .3 of a point at 51.7. It was the second day's decline after five straieht ad- rancing sessions.
