July 1. 1942 Far cial Comics - - : - - I Stocks Show Poor Resp onse " .- Gains, Losses Divide Evenly in Timiclity Over War News ? NEW YORK, June SMffr-The war news seemed a trifle better ' Tuesday but stocks were not par ticularly responsive . and leaders r generally shifted over an irreg- ular terrain. , Price hesitancy prevailed at the : opening and, with dealings revert tng to sluggishness, closing trends were spotty. While there were - scattered gains of 1 to 3 points in a few sales, declines, of about as r much were in evidence. The desire to await the outcome 5 of the battle crisis in Egypt tended to halt some potential buyers, r brokers said-and the tax question : remained as a market problem. Some timid buying developed of , the idea that the seasonal direc tion of industrials has been up ward in 30 of the past 45 yesrs in July. . . - . 1 .The majority of the buoyant rails of Monday failed to repeat v . their climb though Santa Fe " Jumped 1 points when directors voted a dividend of $1.50 on the '-- common,-against $1 paid in the i preceding four quarters. The Associated Press average of 60 stocks was unchanged at 35.3 For the month Just ended the com posite was up .7 of a point.' Trans fers totalled 248,480 shares com pared with 262,293 Monday.- Suspend Rot Control Law State agricultural department officials said Tuesday they had prepared an order suspenduTgtrre, ring rot control area in Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson counties un til August 1. : t , The action was taken because not enough potatoes, were stored 4 in that area to supply the needs until the new crop is harvested. The original control area order was to prevent entry of ring rot in the -potato picture in that sec tion of the state. ' One condition of the suspension of control for the rnonth of July is that bags in which potatoes are shipped in be not reused. Such bags must be either disinfected or shipped out of the control districts without delay. , Produce Mart Prices PORTLAND, June 3(HP)-Prfces changed little on tne Farmers' Wholesale market Tuesday. , Strawberries were prced $1.35 00 crate with a few sales lower. Raspberries had the same range. Loganberries were around $1.15 crate and blackcaps, in small sup ply, were $1.60, . , . .) Bing cherries moved at 10 cents pound and pie stock was 6 cents. Other general prices included: - Lettuce $1.30-60 crate; zucchini $1.40-50 flat; beans 10-11 cents; radishes 30 cents for red . and 35 Sor white; green onions. 30 cents dozen bunches; carrots 45-55 cents: beets 25 cents; peas $2.00-15 "crate; spinach $1.35 orange box.
