s 7 PAGE SIXTEEN Th OREGON STATESMAN. Salem, Oregon. Friday Morning. April X5. 1341 FavoritesHit Point Gain Recovery Lacks Pep; Closing Quotes ' Under the Tops NEW YORK, April 24-iS5)- Stocks generally continued the recovery push in Thursday'? mar ket but without quite the vigor of Wednesday's late upswing. Gains ran to a point or ''so for favorites. Closing quotations in many instances were well under the tops, indicating some cashing in on the two-day advance. The Associated Press average of 60 stocks retained a net gain of .3 of a point at 39.8. Transfers of 485,000 compared with 474,500 the day before. Improvement was held by Great Northern, Chesapeake & Ohio, NY Central and Nickel Plate, Common and Preferred. Rails Were among the best per formers until near the finish when most backed away. They were aided by a more than seasonal in crease in last , week's freight loadings. Tar Weed Seeds , Prove Injurious To Livestock Screenings which contain a con siderable amount of tar weed seeds should not be fed to swine, horses or cattle, for the tar weed seed may poison these animals, reports the state department of agriculture animal division. Hog losses due to this cause have been experienced from time to time in eastern Oregon wheat districts and also quite frequently in the Willamette valley. Screen ings with tar weed seed come from grain that has been grown in the Inland Empire region and some screening feeds come from the larger mills. They should not? be fed in large amounts without) other supplementary feeds. j Symptoms of the poisoning in ! swine and horses are due to des-1 traction of liver tissue. Animals J show a severe anemia, symptoms I of jaundice and in general present a runty appearance. Wool in Boston BOSTON. April 24 (API-(USDA) Scattered transactions in the Boston wiil market were of fair volume today, but a large portion of the wool houses were receiving little demand. Fine Australian wools and the tnree-eighths and one-quarter blood grades of South American - and domestics fleece wools were receiving the bulk of the de mand. An occasional-buyer showed in terest in .12 months Texas wools at ' prices ranging $1.03-1.07 scoured basis, ; depending upon the character of indi- ! vidual lots. Some choice fine territory i wool in original bags was sold at $1.03- 1.05 scoured basis. -Cross Word HORIZONTAL 1 What American general wa$ a traitor during the Revolution. ary Wart 7 Gleam 13 -Harvester 14 Starry 15 Symbol for gerin;i'iii.r,i 16 Oozy lft Small quantity J 19 Room in a harem SI What tho family nam of th.4 jurat white child Pirn tn America f 4 22 Egyptian son god 23 Chemical element 26 Split pulse 29 Frothy beverage SJ What i th namo of a fatnou English tchoolt 33 Symbol for barium 34 Correlative of either 35 High mountain 38 Slender finial 39 In what country did Abraham : maka kit hornet 40 Indefinite article 41 Tidy . . 43 Felines 45 Twice fr 47 Stupors 50 Hypothetical force St What Parrian poet vat called "The Tntmaker"t S3 Knave of clubs in certain card '! fame Z Concluding passage (music) 58 Primate related to the monkey CO Exclamation 61 Reluctant -. 63 One in charge of publication 65 Secured with pasta 66 Native East Indian soldiers. v .

Price Trend . Shows Rally Strength of Stock x Helps to Offset Minor Selling CHICAGO, April. IM-The wheat market's recent retreat came to an abrupt halt Thursday as prices rallied about a cent a bushel. - ' With the pit well liquidated as a result of a four to six cents de cline since April 5, selling was on a small scale and was more than offset by modest buying or ders that came from previous short sellers or traders who were remsUtinjf" lines. Broken said events in Greece apparently had been discounted during the past three weeks, and - with stocks stronger, the lowest wheat prices in almost a month proved atten tive to some interests. May wheat, which sold up to 90 cents, led the upturn, with some buying attributed to con suming interests. The close was i-l'i higher than Wednesday, May 89T.-90, July 87-14. Prospects of legislation requir ing higher loan rates on the new wheat crop and indications of a slowing up of the movement of grain from loan positions were constructive market .factors. British interests bought more than 2,000,000 bushels of Canadian wheat overnight and Spain was understood to have taken an ad ditional 14,000,000 bushels of Ar gentine grain. Portland Grain PORTLAND.
