Lower Trends
. Drop in Operations
' of Steel Caused
by Coke Lack
: NEW YORK, AprilM-The
stock market again had to strug
gle with somewhat pessimistic
war bulletins Monday and irregu
larly lower trends prevailed from
. the start.
Steels, motors and an assort
. ment OH industrials conceded
. fractions to a point or so at the
-worst in desultory dealings but
extreme losses were shaded or
cancelled in many cases in, the
. linal hour. A slight opening rally
failed to get far.
The Associated Press average
of 60 stocks finished the day down
.1 of a point at 39.1, another new
low since last June. In only one
of the last 14 trading sessions has
the composite shown a gain. Of
663 individual issues traded, 321
were off, 137 up and 205 un
changed. I
The day's business items in
cluded a batch of earnings state
ments disclosing inroads made by
taxes on corporation profits and
a sizable drop in this week's es
timated steel mill operations due
mainly to shortage of coke caused
by the soft coal mining deadlock.
The governmental price-fixing
outlook remained as a market de
. terrent, brokers suggested, along
with the threat of a strike at
General Motors.
Cattle Man
Pays Visit
WALDO HILLS Frank A. Ri
.ches, president of the Northwest
Heref ord Breeders association,
was a guest this week at the home
of his father, Charles Riches. Mr.
Riches, formerly of here, owns a
.cattle ranch at Buena, Washing
ton. Walter Klopfenstein is prepar
ing four acres of ground for plant-
. ing to sugar cane. Mr. Klopfen
sten expects to make the plant-
' ings in May.
Mr. and Mrs. E. Duval hve re
cently moved to the Evergreen
district from Hermiston. They are
living across the road from the
Evergreen school.
Pointers Given
On Hen Feeding
Keeping laying hens away from
certain plants, and limiting the
cottonseed meal in their diet, will
prevent off colors and flavors in
the eggs. Poultry specialists of the
bureau of animal industry report
that if there is more than five
per cent cottonseed meal in hens'
diet, the yolks of the eggs tend to
become mottled after the eggs
have been stored several months.
The whites may take on a pink
tinge. Cheese weed has a similar
effect on egg white. Shepherds
purse and field penny cress may
produce a green color in both the
white and the yolk.
If chickens eat freely of strong
ly flavored feedstuff, it may cause
an undesirable flavor in the eggs.
Turnips, onions, garlic, and leeks
are among the worst offenders.
Some fish oils cause a fishy fla
vor, but fortunately cod-liver oil
and sardine oil of good quality
have no undesirable effect on egg
flavor if fed in moderate quan
tities. At some seasons of the year
chickens need these oils to sup
plement the vitamin D in their
diet and help them furnish more
of this vitamin in their eggs.

Wheat Still
On Retreat
- ' Irregular - Downward
; Trend Continues
Despite Rally
CHICAGO, April 21 (P) Wheat's
slow,1 irregular price .retreat,
whcih has been under way since
the Balkan invasion began, con
tinued Monday despite the mar
ket's sporadic display of rallying
power. . '
Selling inspired by war news,
weakness of securities and failure
of temperatures in the southwest
to fall as low as had been expect
ed Saturday carried quotations
about a cent lower at times to
89 for May and 87 for July,
lowest since April 0 and 4 to 5
cents below the highs reached
just before fighting in southeast-
era Europe began.
Buying stimulated by heavy
overseas shipments of wheat and
flour from North America, re
ports Spain is after more Argen
tine grain and prospects of gov
ernment support for wheat prices
helped to rally prices frequently
and closing figures were un
changed to lower compared
with Saturday, May 90-, July
S8-.
Cherry Men Elect,
Consider Crop
James Imlah, Frank Farmer,
Albert Bouffleur and Roy Jones
were reelected drectors of Wil
lamette Cherry Growers, Inc., at
a meeting of the group held in
Salem Saturday.
Reports indicated that this
year's cherry crop would be light
because of frost damage in the
river bottoms and on the valley
floor. A spotted condition exists
among the hill orchards. From
Yakima and California came re
ports of a light crop, too. The
Dalles is expected to have about
the same yield as last year. The
possibility of the crop being about
three weeks earlier than normal
was also discussed.

Wool in Boston
BOSTON. April 21 AP) (USDA)
New business was very slow today in
the Boston wool market. Only a few
inquiries were being received. These
were mostly for fine original bag ter
ritory - wools. . the three-eighths and
quarter-blood - grades - of fleeces, and
various grades of South American
wools. The lack of offerings of three
eighths and quarter-blood fleece wools
was stimulating inquiries for similar
grade spot South American . wools.
Quotations pn domestic and foreign
wools were unchanged, compared with
the close of last week. .
