Ends Week on Indecisive
Note;' "Many Traders
Cash Profits
NEW YORK. March 9.-UPh
The stock market today ended a
generally satisfactory week on an
Indecisive note.
Possibilities of important Eu
rnDe&n developments over the
weekend, mainly Involved In the
Russian-Finnish peace move.
caused many traders to cash
profits and shelve commitments
to be on the saie swe.
At the same time'a number of
ncilllties. includine airlines
and motor equipments, presented
a resistant front and edged into
new high ground for the year.
Closing prices in virtually all
groups, though, were decidedly
Irregular.
Steels and aircrafts skidded,
along with rails and coppers, but.
except for isolated issues, de
clines were in small fractions.
The Associated Press average
of 60 stocks was up .1 of a point
at 50.1. On the week this com
posite showed a net advance of
.7 of a point. A month ago the
barometer stood at 50.4 and a
year ago at 53.2. Transfers for
the two hours totalled 331,080
shares against 274,710 "last Sa
turday. Posting new 1940 tops were
American Airlines, Eastern Air
Lines, Checker Cab, Packard and
American Telephone.
Improvement was recorded for
Chrysler, Motors Products, Am
erican Can, Westinghouse, East
man' Kodak, J. C. Penney, Du
Pont and Standard Oil of N. J.
Engendering some optimism
was an Increase of 6 per cent in
last week's national department
store sales over a year ago. The
year .to year gain in the previous
week was 6 per cent.
Wheat Advances
In Late Ra
lly
CHICAGO. March 9-JF)-The
wheat market rallied sharply Just
before the close today, scoring
net gains of more than a cent a
bushel that erased early fraction
al losses based on prospect of
precipitation over the grain belt.
Late buying came largely from
previous "short" sellers who were
covering sales in view of uncer
tainty regarding European politi
cal developments over the week
end and pessimistic crop com
ments from, the domestic south
west. Wheat closed almost 2 cents
above the early lows or 7-8-1
higher than yesterday. May $1.04
1.04, July $1.02-1.02.
The early downward trend of
wheat was based largely on pre--dictions
of light rain or snow in
both the hard winter and soft
winter wheat belts as well as the
spring wheat zone. Scattered
moisture also wag forecast for
next week, according to the long
range prediction.
Stayton Cannery
Increases Output
STAYTON An increase of 2 5,
000 cases of beans is the plan of
the Stayton Canning company.
T h I s la an outcome of the in
creased demand for Santiam
beans, ite company was unable
to supply some buyers with the
1939 pack.
This necessitates the increasing
of the number of stockholders, the
enlarging of the factory room and
the purchasing of additional ma
chinery, which includes graders,
fillers, retorts and a new boiler.
In 1923 the Stayton cannery
only packed 2000 cases which
were grown on fire acres of land
in the West Stayton area. The
A M n .
xva-j pacx was l.&.ooo cases
grown on 300 acres.
It is hoped that with this
growth that the cannery can sup
ply tne increased demand for San
tiam beans.

Bank to Promote
Low-Cost Housing
New FHA Title for $2500
Class Dwellings Gets
Dick's Support
General announcement Issued
by Paul S. Dick, presldenfof the
United States National b a n k
states that the services of the
bank's various units throughout
Oregon will be concentrated to a
large degree on the making of
FHA loans coming under title
one, class three. Such loans are
for the construction of new homes
costing up to $2500 which, ac
cording to Dick, brings home own
ership within the economic reach
of families of moderate incomes.
while class three FHA loans have
been available for several years.
It is only recently that an amend
ment to the act simplified the
terms so that such loans were
highly practicable both from the
standpoint of the borrower and
the lender.
"On new home construction
costing up to $2500, no down pay
ment is required if a person owns
or purchases the lot which repre
sents 10 per cent of the total
value of the house he plans-to
Dulld and the lot combined," Dick
said. "The borrower is given 15
years to repay his loan on a pre
determined monthly basis which
in the majority of cases would
hardly figure more than he would
pay for nominal rent."
In commenting up Mr. Dick's
announcement, D. W. Eyre, man
ager of the local unit of the Unit
ed States National bank, stated
that promotion of this type of
FHA loan would in no way less
en the bank's activity in respect
to other types of FHA loans for
home building and modernizing,

Prune Purchases

purchased by the federal surplus
commodities corporation, accord

agricultural marketing service.
Deliveries of this purchase are
now being made and growers are
again busy moving their stocks.

plies are about cleaned up. Some
recent buying has been reported

60 to 55, 2 to 2 cents on
55 to 60's and 2 to 2 cents

he is in charge of the "wake up"
branch of the service and will
arouse you from your slumber at
any designated hour. The sub
scribers are mostly working men
and women who have the bad
habit of throttling the alarm
clock. The 4 a. m. calls for golf

string around the finger, by
listing important dates they do
not wish to forget, this enables
them to keep out of the doghouse
by always turning up with the
right gift at the right time.
The staff includes a veteran
golfer, who will play as a com
panion or give lessons, a former
educator who handles the chil
dren's parties and problems, and
several bridge and fashion ex
perts. Or She'll Plan a Party
Miss West personally arranges
complete details for social func
tions, even to the point of help

How did she get started in this
unique business?
She used to do all these things
gratis for Mr. Block's out-of-town
customers.
But she realized many people
1 would oav for such services and
when Block quit business she set
out to prove her theory.

Sulphate of iron Is the chemi
cal said to give the coloring of
leaf and bloom a richer hue. Also
we are told that if it is applied
at the rate of an ounce to a
square yard of soil surface it
does much to control rose pests.
Now that the Christmas cactus
has stopped, flowering, withhold
water until about June. By this
I do not mean that it should
hare absolutely no water In that
period but many growers do not
give their Christmas cactus any
water at all during March. April
and May. Usually, I like to give
mine a small drink once S month.
During June, Jury and August
give it more water and sunshine.
Bring It back . Into the house
(you set It out of doors when all
danger of frost la over) in late
August. In September begin
giving it less water. Too much
water during the bud-setting per
iod will cause the buds to drop
off. .If It must -bev repotted do
so now. Be sure the drainage
