Newspaper Page TextPAGE TEN Th OREGON STATESMAN, Saln- Oregon. Wednesday Morning. March 12. 1941 Buying Wanes On Market . Prices Dip as House ! Passes Amended Bill for British Aid NEW YORK, March U.-(JP)-Buying confidence waned in to day's stock market and an attempt to extend yesterday's sharp rally generally proved unsuccessful. The list edged forward at the itart in lively dealings. Trends were soon reversed, however, and activity slackened. Leaders shift ed over a narrowly lower range until the final hour when further recessions were in order. While scattered favorites managed to keep ahead, closing declines of fractions to a point or more were well distributed. The Associated Press average of CO stocks was off .1 of a point at 41.7. Transfers of 507,640 shares compared with 620,610 the day before. The outlook for a speed-up in defense spending still was an im portant market prop, brokers said but it was noted that prices ac tually dipped when the house passed the American British-aid bill and sent it to the president. Among stocks on the losing end were US Steel, Bethlehem, Cruci ble Steel, General Motors, Chrys ler, Sears Roebuck, Montgomery Ward, Douglas Aircraft, United Aircraft, Santa Fe, Great North ern. Chesapeake & Ohio, Anacon da, Kennecott, American Smelt ing, Loft, Texas Corp., Westing house, General Electric, Western Union and Consolidated Edison. A shade improved at the finish were American Telephone, Stand ard Oil of NJ, American Can, In ternational Harvester, US Rubber, Allied Chemical, Johns-Manville, Eastman Kodak, and Woolworth. J. I. Case was up 2 points on a limited turnover. "Strictly Private" By Qtiinn Hall Fat Hog Show To Be Ended Thursday Fifty hog raisers and interested persons were on hand Monday for the live judging in Marion coun ty's second annual fat hog market show at the state fairgrounds.

Junior Miller, Gervais 4H club boy won fourth with a Berkshire. George S. For rest, C o r v a 1 1 i s, won sixth on Hampshires. Carcasses of all these hogs will be on display Thursday at 2 o'clock at the Valley Packing com pany for comparison of live judg ing with dressed results. An invi tation is extended to interested persons to attend final estimates, according to Robert E. Rieder, acting 'county agent. At the live show panel discus sion was carried on by Paul Car penter, extension market special its. Roland Hogg, Salem, and E.. C.

Trade interest centered In po litical news from Washington. Factors favoring the upturn were improved milling demand, a bet ter inquiry for exports, strength in' cotton, the possibility of a high er: government loan rate on new crops and a belief in some quar ters that wheat might be shipped after the president had signed the lend-lease bill. The new crop months, July and September, also touched new hgths for the current movement at 83 and 84, respectively, but profit taking sales coupled with lighter buying power due in part to a disinclination to follow the three day advance aggressively caused a reaction. Wheat closed V off to V cents higher than Monday's final prices, May 86-87, July 83-.

Flaxseed Acreage: Increase Urged Increased production of flaxseed is advi-d by Archer-Danlels-Midland company, Portland, inas much as European imports are closed by the war and: steamer space to Argentina, which grew 60 million bushels last year, is ex tremely expensive and growing scarcer. As the 31 million bushel crop.! raised in- the United - States was considerably short of supplying domestic requirements, the flax seed price of $1.75 per 56 pound bushel at Portland is likely to con tinue at a healthy tone, reports In dicate. Marshalls Are 5 Cents Under 1941 Contracts Approximately 10,000 acre of Marshall strawberries In Oregon have been signed by contracts calling for 5. cents a pound, ac cording to rough estimates re leased in . a recent report. Total strawberry acreags of the state figures close to 13,0u0 acres, buy ers state. Of this figure close to 3000 acres ' are planted to Red Hearts, the old Etterberg and Cor vallis No. 121' have largely faded from the canning picture in Ore gon. , A few' old contracts on Mar shalls are hanging over into 1941, having been written for terms of five or six years. This season, con tracts are mainly on the three year basis. ' ' vSome patches and a few pools are still unaccounted for, but In the main, the Marshall crop is pretty well bought up. J Buyers report that much plow ing under of loganberry acreages has been done by valley growers. As yet no extensive survey has been made to determine the prob able acreage of this crop.
