PAGE TEN T OREGON STATESMAN. Salem. Orgoi Satuzdar Morning. April 28. 1941 Wheat Gains Two Gents Trade Buying Gives Boost ; Dealers Covering Sales v CHICAGO. ADril 25WjFr-Gain ing momentum as the session pro gressed, professional and. com mercial trade buying Friday com bined to lift wheat prices al most two cents, giving a strong boost to the market's recovery which has been under way the past two days. . Some dealers were covering previous short sales while others were reinstating lines sold, out since the Balkan fighting began. Mills were reported more active, possibly reflecting flour business including some government or army purchases. In the absence of specific trade developments, traders attributed some of the buying to the theory that the market had been well liquidated and apparently had discounted the Balkan situation while government plans are ex pected to involve increased ef forts to maintain wheat values. Wheat closed at the best levels of the day, cents higher than yesterday, May 91 July 89.

Small losses and gains were about evenly divided until the final hour when a little more selling urgency appeared and prices dipped to their low point of the session. The Associated Press average of 60 stocks was off .3 of a point at 39.5. Dealings were negligible dur ing the greater part of the pro ceedings, transfers of 424,900 shares compared with 485,090 Thursday. One block of 41,700 shares of Commonwealth & Southern unchanged at helped expand the total. American Telephone hit a new low since last June with a de cline of IV at 1543,4. Others on the losing end included US steel, Bethlehem, Chrysler, General Mo tors, United Aircraft, Anaconda, Texas Corp., Westinghouse, Union Carbide, Du Pont and Goodrich. Rails, utilities, oils, aircrafts and coppers were relatively re sistant. Modest gains retained by Illinois Centrol, Pennsylvania, American Can, Northern Ameri can and Commonwealth Edison. Beets Sown in Dayton District DAYTON Table beets for the various canneries in the Willam ette valley are being sown on farms here. At the L. S.

Light offerings from :J the relatively small remaining supplies of 1940 hops in growers hands tended to restrict trading in the spot mar ket. Contracting 'of 1941 crop hops was of fairly large volume, par ticularly in California, at fully steady to firm prices to growers as compared with other recent weeks. Trade reports indicate only a small increase in the acre age planted to hops is anticipated in Oregon this season. An in crease of around 300 acres is in dicated in California, while a comparatively large increase of from 1500 to 2000 acres is an ticipated in the Yakima Valley area of Washington. . Oregon markets continued to display a steady to firm tone dur ing the period. While accurate figures on spot sales were not available, it was reported that some sales were made during the week which netted growers 25c to 26c per pound for top quality 1940 hops in carload lots. Smaller lots of less desirable quality net ted growers 22c to 24c per pound, according to quality and size of lots. Some contracting of 1941 hops also was reported, with seed less qualities bringing 35c per pound with discounts down to 26c, according to seed content in excess of 2 percent. Contracts covering regular seeded hops from the 1941 crop wereTeported on the basis of 25c to 26c per pound to growers. Work was progressing in Oregon hop yards under gen erally favorable weather" condi tions On the whole, the condition of the Oregon crop is reported as good, although reports from the country continued to indicate a considerable number of missing hills in some districts. It is still to early however, to accurately estimate either the outturn or 1 . -O f GUESS YOU V K YOU'P KNOWN IT WAS GONNA I r Tia YOU LOOK BETTER 5 IN THAT OUTFIT THAW I EVER DID FT NEEDS A UTTLE FVrTCHINGIiRBUT YOUR WIFE CAN-.

Continued light trading in spot supplies and : large contracts cov ering delivery of 1941 hops for future delivery . were outstanding features of California hop markets during . the same week.- With growers stocks of 1940 hops re duced to- only a few hundred bales and firmly held,' demandT also was slow. No sales of 1940 hops were reported in the three principal California growing sections with ideas of buyers and sellers un usually far - apart as to proper values. Growers generally were holding remaining supplies for around - 29c-30c while dealers quoted the market nominally around 25c per pound for this quality. Older hops remained neg lected. Interest in . 1941 hops for de livery next fall increased sharply with contracts covering 1550 bales reported by California growers. These contracts , were mainly for seedless hops with transactions in the Sacramento Valley includ ing 250 bales on the basis of 37c per pound' for deliveries to con tain not more than 2 percent seeds and 3 percent stems and leaves with discounts down to 26c should deliveries prove of lower quality. Around 550 bales were contracted on the same basis except that the top of the range was 40c down to 26c, and 500 bales were contract ed at 40c per pound with no slid ing scale included. These Sacra mento Valley transactions took place early in the week with de mand slower at the close and with growers generally unwilling to make further commitments. Mendocino county growers re ported contracts covering 250 bales of regular seeded clusters at 26c per pound and this was re garded as the market as the peri od closed. Reports from the treasury de partment indicate production 'of fermented malt liquors in the United States (including Alaska and Hawaii) during March 1941, totaled 4,433,550 barrels, as com pared with 4,384,646 barrels pro- Roping Is for Cattle I A Feller His Size!
