Irregular j
Lack of Gootl War
News or Tax
Optimism Felt
NEW YORK, June 25-jF)-The
stock market had little to go on
Thursday in the way of hopeful
war news or tax optimism and
the result was a continuance of
mild irregularity.
The Associated Press average of
60 stocks was unchanged at 35.
Tranfers of 245,420 shares com
pared with 243,680 Wednesday.
Among scattered strong spots
Was US Distributing preferred
which jumped ZVi points to a new
top since 1931. Boeing was up
1 in the wake of a $1 dividend
declaration, first since the initial
disbursement of 40 cents in De
cember, 1937.
Chicago Great Western prefer
red was up lVs and lesser ad
vances were retained by Great
Northern, US Steel, Chrysler, US
Rubber, Douglas Aircraft, Kenne
cott, Consolidated Edison, Johns
Manville and Zenith Radio.
Allied Chemical dropped 3
points. Smaller recessions were
shown for Pennsylvania, Mont
gomery Ward, American Tele
phone, Texas Co. and Eastman
Kodak.

Hay Quality
Is Said Good
NORTH HOWELL Hay is
ready to cut and many acres of
alfalfa are already down. How
ever, the crop is not as plentiful
as in former years but the quality
is good. Smalf grains are also
making a good showing.
'While in a few cases some
blight has appeared in cane fruit,
in general it shows wonderful
growth and a great profusion of
fruit buds.
Prices are so attractive and
picking prices so much higher
than ever known that growers
feel little uncertainty regarding
labor for harvesting the crop.
Log Ceilings
Said Handicap
PORTLAND, Ore., June 25-(P)-Small
logging operations are be
ing threatened with closure by the
log price ceilings recently imposed
by the OPA, some sources here
said.
Harvey Nelson of the Columbia
River district council, 1WA, said
two Tillamook operators planned
to shut down because the "camp
run prices" were not high enough.
Small operators d o n't produce
enough to grade their logs, con
sequently cannot get the benefit
f higher prices for superior stock,
ave to dispose of it all at the
limited camp-run figure," Nelson
said.
Bigger outfits are not up against
duch a handicap.
The West Coast Lumbermen's
f fices here and other IWA
fpokesmen knew of no other
threatened closures.

Wheat Drift
Continues
Late Rally Fails
To Erase All
Early Losses
CHICAGO, June 25 -(IP)- The
wheat market continued to drift
lower Thursday, as was the case
Wednesday, but this time the late
rally was not enough to erase all
of the early price losses.
Trade was confined mostly to
commercial transactions, w i t n
hedge sales placed against pur
chases of new wheat. Speculative
activity was chilled by unwilling
ness to venture on either side of
the market due to the war situa
tion and failure of congress to
settle controversies involving
higher basic crop loans and gov
ernment sales of feed wheat.
Wheat was off as much as 4
cent at one stage but late short
covering resulted in a close that
was unchanged to k cent lower
compared with Wednesday, July
$1.181,4, September $1.21-1.21 Vs.
While losses of wheat because
of floods and lodging have been
reported, the situation is not re
garded as serious. The movement
is well behind schedule, but trad
ers said this may be for the best
since there is a scarcity of storage
space while Washington reports
told of a threatened hitch in plans
for construction of wooden bins
which the government hopes to
locate throughout the major pro
ducing belt.

Removing wounded Axis soldiers at Tobrulr
This picture of Tobruk, key Libyan supply base held so long by the
British, was taken early this year. At the time wounded Axis
soldiers were being placed aboard lighters in Tobruk harbor for
removal to a hospital ship off shore. Today Tobruk is in Axis
hands, having fallen to the overwhelming forces of Nazi Field

Loganberry
Price Is Set
At Eight Cents
Eight cents was the rrdnimum
price agreed upon for loganberries
at the conference of directors of
the Oregon cane fruits control
board and the canneries and pro
cessors Thursday afternoon.
No price was set for the boy sen
and youngberries since the har
vest is somewhat later. The pick
ing price for the berries in this
tlistrict will probably be 2 cents,
William J. Linfoot, attorney for
the control board, stated. No price
was agreed upon at the confer
ence of growers with C. H. Gram,
state labor commissioner, Wed
nesday, and each district is to set
its own picking price.
There will be a surplus of boy
senberries this year based on the
tin allocated to the canneries for
use in processing them. The allot
ment was established on .the basis
of the 1940 pack and the acreage
has been greatly increased since
that time.
Efforts will be made by the
control board to dispose of some
of the surplus to the quartermas
ters corps in Oakland, Calif., Lin
foot said.
No date was fixed for the
meeting to set the price for boy
sen and youngberries but will be
determined, as the harvest develops.
First Peaches Appear
K)imAND, June 25-(-The
first northwest peaches of 1942
reached the East Portland whole
sale market Thursday, a surprise
to the trade. Joe Fleck, well known
mid-Columbia operator, brought
in four boxes of good quality
Mayflowers which sold at $1.25
a box quickly.
