Newspaper Page TextFinancial Markets Ta OBEGON STATESMAN, Salem Oragon Sunday Morning. Jun 21, 1912 Sia2-1AGE$ Comics Stocks Qose Foggy Week Buying Urge Lacking; Cains and Declines Divide list NEW YORK, June 20 -(J?y-The stock market Saturday stepped out of a generally foggy week with trends still notably obscure. While selling pressure, as. In the past several sessions, was ab sent, the buying urge was lack ing. Uneven tendencies prevailed at the start. Gains runn!ngto a point or so were well distributed at the close although declines of as much were in the majority. The Associated Press average for 60 stocks was off .1 of a point at 35.6, but on the week was un changed. Transfers totaled 127,- 060 shares compared With 108, 740 a week ago. Prominent stocks on the losing end included US Steel, Bethle hem, Chrysler, General Motors, American Telephone, Santa Fe, Sears Roebuck, Douglas Aircraft, Anaconda, Johns-Manville, Du- Pont and Owens-Illinois. Tastman Kodak was up a point and lesser plus marks were pinned on Consolidated Edison, Westing house, Goodyear, Union Carbide, Union Pacific, Philip Morris and - Phelps Dodge. "Strictly Private" Mildew Losses Not Yet Known Field Man Says No general loss of hops on a large scale because of downey mildew is yet established, accord' ing to W. H. Anderson, field man for the hop control board, stated Saturday. Some growers claim SO to 75 per cent loss, but the final result will depend upon weather condi tions in the next two weeks, the field man said. He is just home from a trip through the south rn part of the state and starts now on a trip through Yamhill, Clackamas and Washington coun ties. Some isolated yards may have all ready been damaged to a great extent, but Anderson does not believe it is at all general.. He scoffed at any large number of growers have fully decided to abandon their crops. Grains Steady After Retreat CHICAGO, June 20 -&- The grain market steadied Saturday, recovering its equilibrium after Friday's retreat. Wheat was up about Vt cent at one time and off Vi to ft later, closing unchanged to H higher compared with Friday, July 1.19, September 11.21-tt. Other grains followed the ac tion of wheal, although oats fell s much as -Ts cent at one tune, due partly to helping sales in connection with the new crop advance. July soybeans also were off about a cent due to liquids tion prior to the delivery period and to lagging demand for meal. Buying; attributed to processors lifted rye. Hops Not Subject To Maximum Price Regulation, Word ' Kiln dried hops are lcassif ied as raw and unprocessed agricultural products and therefore are ex empted from general maximum price regulation. This information was received Saturday by C. W. Paulus, manager of the hop con trol board, from the OPA office In Washington, DC . The clarification was made in amendment four to the general maximum price regulations and became effective June 5. Paulus sent the Information to all mem bers of the hop control board and their alternates. x Will Announce New Minister WEST SALEM The. name of the new minister win be an nounced at the service Sunday evening in the Methodist church.
