From Sleep
Steels and Motors Top
Rise; Average Up
First in Week
NEW YORK, June 3.-(P)-The
itock market came out of a. state
6f suspended animation to record
l fairly brisk rise in the last few
aninutes of trading Wednesday.
Steels and motors, sluggish most
of the session, led the late upturn
which marked the establishment
of a sizeablenumber of new highs
fojp the year. Advances ranged
from fractions to a point or more.
Registering its first change
since May 27 the Associated Press
..-stock .composite was up .4 of
a point at 35.0. Transactions tot
aled 334,020 shares against Tues
day's 318,050.
Special happenings accounted
for some wide moves in certain
stocks. Cuban American sugar is
eues climbed on the clearing up
of $50 dividend arrears on the
preferred and the declaration of
a 25 cent payment on the com
mon, the first for the junior shares
since 1929.
United Fruit dipped sharply on
the placing of restrictions on im
port shipments, including bananas,
of which the company is normally
a large shipper.
Among shares posting new 1942
highs were General Motors,
Chrysler, Montgomery Ward and
Pan American Airways. Other
gainers were US Steel, Bethlehem
Steel, Sears Roebuck, Montgom
ery Ward, Case, American Air
lines, Westinghouse, US Gypsum,
Liggett & Myers "B" and Santa
Fe. American Can and Dupont
each picked up more than 2.
Old Hallock
Good to July 1
In order to clarify the situation
in regard to the Oregon berry
hallock, the state department of
agriculture points out hat pro
ducers may use the eld raised
bottom hallocks carried over from
1941 in intrastate trade only until
July 1, this year. Otherwise, at
the present time any hallock with
a capacity of 12 ounces net
weight of berries is legal in Ore
gon except the raised-bottom or
false bottom type hallock.
It will be recalled that the de
partment took action last year,
following hearings, to bring the
Oregon hallock in line with ac
tion of the federal food and drug
administration, which held that
the raised bottom hallock. was
violating the deceptive package
provision of the federal law.
This move was taken to pro
tect the Oregon berry industry in
relation to shipments out of the
state, as after last year it was
impossible to use containers de
clared illegal in interstate trade.
Use of the old containers within
the state is permits until July
1, this year, to give opportunity
to use up old stocks.
Earwig Policy
Made Easier
A step toward eventual remov
al of all restrictions imposed by
California against the European
earwig important fo Oregon
because occasionally .a nursery
product from this state comes up
with an earwig when5 inspected
there was taken recently by
the California department of agri
culture. Under this new earwig policy,
the Oregon department of agri
culture has . been advised, no ac
tion will be taken against nursery
products from Oregon unless ear
wigs are actually found on such
products. In other words, it will
no longer be presumed that ship
ments are infested if they come
from infested areas. Prior to the
new policy, when an earwig was
found the shipping nursery was
placed on the California "black
list" and all shipments from that
nursery were barred unless fumi
gated or treated until Oregon
plant officials could certify as
to freedom from earwigs.

Increased Demand for Horses
Reported by Monmouth Dealer
MONMOUTH The demand for horses is constantly on the
increase, according to W. Ray Adams, Monmouth, who: has been
in the horse dealing business here for approximately 35 years.
He brought 80 head, including 9 Shetland ponies, to his farm
from Walla Walla, The Dalles and
other eastern Washington and
Oregon points, late in May.
Some of these were range ani
mals which hadn't been ridden.
Many of the mares had young
colts. Several of these animals
were immediately inducted into
the Oregon state guard cavalry
unit which is being trained for
mounted home guard defense at
the Adams farm twice weekly by
Capt. Alan Wright of Salem.
Adams has had a long and var
ied career as a horseman. He
formerly promoted rodeos at
Oakland, Siletz and Independence.
In the last year his turnover of
horses bought and sold numbered
more than 500.

year, the grain futures market
Wednesday staged a general re

Buying attracted by the low
