Grain Market Regains Loss CHICAGO, Sept. 13.-jP-Prof-it takers, cashing in on the recent steep grain price advance, beat quotations down from the best levels in several years Saturday but when these sales had been absorbed the market rebounded and closed with much of the early losses regained. Wheat, corn and rye fell more than a cent at times, with oats off almost that much, while soybeans tumbled 7 cents. Short covering on the break and some buying to hold commitments for any week end developments brought the late rally. As a result, wheat closed only - cent lower than Friday, Sep tember $1.18, December $1.22 Quotations Buyinr prices: A trade print 41c; B grade 40c; quarters 42c Baying prices: Butterfat No. 1, 39c; No. t, 37c; prem ium, 40 Vic .

J 1 ' Large Increase in Purchases of Oregon Products Revealed in Survey by Sears, Roebuck Sears, Roebuck, and company gon-made merchandise during a total of $1,734,495 for this purpose, it was made known Satur day by G. Vandeneynde, manager of the Sears store here. This evidence of the quality of Oregon products that are dis tributed to the nation's consumers by way of the Sears merchan dising system was drawn from an expenditures survey prepared in connection with the company's 55th anniversary celebration, Septem- ber 10 to September 20. The survey showed that 42 dif- ferent manufacturers located in six cities and towns benefited from these expenditures. Accordinr to Vandeneynde, the: rrand total of Sears ex penditures within the state dur lnf the same period came to $2,526-541. This represents an increase of 33 per cent over the previous year. Of this amount $559,570 . weni towards the salaries and wages of resident employes; $112,694 for newspaper advertising; sii,o for rents and taxes, and the re mainder for merchandise. "Through the means of the ex penditure figures it is possible for our customers, friends and busi ness associates in this city to get a more vivid picture of the part that Sears plays in the economic life of Oregon," said Vandeneynde when releasing the survey mate rial for publication, ' "However, the figures wdold . assume even greater Importance If lt were possible to Interpret them accurately In terms of the scores of persons who. In addi tion to those employed directly by the company, have taken part In the mannfacture of mer chandise for Sears." Sears' expenditures for news paper advertisting during 1940 reached the huge total of $12, 219,824, an all-time high for the second consecutive year, Vanden eynde said. Last year's figure topped 1939, .D nn s easy There's nothing mysterious about the way ad vertising works. ! It's like the salesmen who go from house to house looking for customers.

The large sum which Sears spent , with the nation's newspa pers in 1940 represents all but 7.32 per cent of the total amount the company allotted for adver tising during that period. Less than one per cent of the total ap propriation was used for the pur chase of radio time and 6.54 per cent of the money was spent on circulars and miscellaneous types of publications. Manager Vandeneynde also revealed that Sears' newspaper advertising expenditures in Oregon during the same period Increased 11 per cent to reach fa total of $112,694. This marks j the1 5th consecutive year that Sears' expenditures within the state for this express purpose Jiave shown a sizable Increase. Figured in terms of space, the company's Oregon stores last year Used 941,791 lines of advertising to present its sales messages to te public. "The conclusions to be drawn Mrom these statistics are pretty obvious for they leave little doubt as to the high regard that Sears has for the newspaper as an ad vertising media," said Vande neynde. "This rather one-sided prefer ence for newspaper advertising is based solely on sound business principles, and dates back to the start of our retail system in 1925.

E. Goodspeed, secretary manager, testified at a US de partment of agriculture hearing that the lower percentage still would put 658,000 hundred-pound bags of California-Oregon-Wash-ington walnuts, on the market counting the carryover almost as many as last ; year's 663,576 bags. u Goodspeed said, however, that the board's j estimate was based on a prediction .of 1,180,000 or chard run bags, yielding 975,000 bags of merchantable nuts. He added that the department of ag riculture's September 1 estimate had boosted the yield to 1,190,000 bags. Supporting evidence was offer ed by W. H, Dozier, Lodi, Calif., walnut grower, and Fred E. Chambers and R. A. Duncan, rep resenting the Oregon Industry. Farm Families Repaying Loans More than 900,000 farm families have now received loans from the US department of agriculture funds administered by the farm security administration, says C. B. Baldwin, FSA administrator, in a report to Secretary of Agricul ture Claude R. Wickard. These families, Baldwin says, have borrowed approximately $570,000,000 ! in the past seven years, and have already repaid more than a third of the amount, although much of it is not yet due. Almost $200,000,000 has been re turned to the treasury and some 122,000 families have repaid in full. This payment record is re markable, Baldwin reports, in view of the fact that all these peo ple would be considered unsafe credit risks ; according to normal business standards. into our stores and of helping us to sell merchandise. That is all any advertiser can ask, and it strikes me as an adequate reason why the newspapers are consist ently being tied in with our pro motional efforts."
