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
American Telephone
Hits Low; Others
on Losing End
NEW YORK, April 25-(yP)-The
stock market went . through its
usual Friday pruning process
and leaders shuffled off fractions
to a point or so of recent recov
eries. 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.

Oregon Hop Markets Display
Firm Tone During Past Week
Pacific Coast hop markets
maintained a steady to firm -tone
both, in the spot market and for
future deliveries from the new
crop, during the week ended
April 23, according to the Weekly
hop market review of the Agri
cultural Marketing service. 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

acreage of the 1941 crop' in this
state.
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
