Stocks Take
Up-Down Day
Net Result Is Small
Losses; Trading
Goes Down
NEW YORK, Aug. S-iTV-The
stock market suffered repeated
sinking spells Wednesday but al
so managed occasional come
backs, with the net result losses
of fractions to a pVtnt or, so, at
a level, a little above the poorest
for the day in most cases.
Declines outnumbered advances
by "about 2 to 1, . with .'a, fair
sized group unchanged, while the
turnover, . 289,919 shares, " was - a
little below Tuesday's gentle ac
tion of 319,180 shares, .
But a bright feature of the day
appeared in the-curb exchange,
' where four preferred issues of
Empire Gas' Fuel, a cities ser
vice subsidiary, added 6 to 8
. points more for a time after ap
proval by the SEC of a recapital
ization plan which gave the stocks
an apparent break.
Some of the big board's import
ant losers included Santa Fe
Woolworth, Douglas Aircraft and
US Gypsum, all off a point or
more, and US Steel, Bethlehem,
Chrysler'Western Union, United
Aircraft, Union Carbide, South
ern Railway, Montgomery Ward
American Smelting and Kenne-
cott, all down by top fractions,
News Blamed
forRelaps
CHICAGO, Aug. 5 -(JPf The
train market suffered another re
lapse which- traders blamed on
war news Wednesday and prices
of wheat, corn and rye futures
tumbled a cent a bushel or more
at times to around seasonal lows.
Selling was not of serious pro
portions- but was met with little
support from professional and
commercial interests. With spec
ulative and investment buyers
virtually out ofthe market as far
as large scale operations are con
cerned, buying came principally
from minor short covering deals,
with a sprinkling of mill or flour
- trade orders. Hedging, though
limited, accounted for some of the
sales but the new crop movement
still was below volume a year
ago.
At the extreme wheat was off
1-1 cents, corn IV-IV4 and rye
1. Late short covering reduced
.these losses but wheat closed
-l'8 lower than Tuesday, Sep
tember $1,16 December
1.19
Although dry weather is needed
in some sections of the spring
wheat belt to permit resumption
of harvesting, the crop outlook
remained generally favorable.
State Harvest
Little Slowed
PORTLAND, Aug. 5 (A)- De
spite rainstorms, grain harvest
ing made satisfactory progress in
Oregon in the week ending Tues
day, Edward L. Well, federal me
teorologist, reported Wednesday.
Rains in coastal areas delayed
haying there, but not elsewhere
in the state. Seed grass and Iclover
harvests were satisfactory.
As hop picking was about to
start, local improvement in the
crop was noted.- Flax pulling con
tinued. Early apple and peach picking
was under way and prunes were
reported to be coloring in some
areas. Later fruits are sizing well
but frost marks appeared on pears
in unheated orchards in the Rogue
.valley. TTh some areas walnut
blight appeared.
Uairrigated pastures were dry
lug but generally still were better
than usual at this time of year.
LfVestock condition is good.
The week was moderately
warm. Pendleton topped the rest
. of the state in temperature with
a 96 reading, followed by 95 at
Wasco and La Grande. Madras
was low at 39.
.Flax Advance
Is Authorized
? -
The state board" of control
Wednesday authorized an advance
payment to growers of $30 per ton
for No. 1 flax and $24 for No. 2
flax, delivered to the state flax
plants. Other payments will be
made when the 1942 harvest is
completed. ,, .
In 1940 the flax growers" re
ceived a total of $60 a ton for No.

Beet Seed Crop
Is Harvested
Three Tons Spinach j
Seed Threshed in North
Howell Community
NORTH HOWELL Blue Lake
commercial uses has begun in the
A. . T. Cline Jleld of six acres
where a splendid crop is ready.
Mrs. Henry Johnson is mana
ger of 'the yard and Mrs. George
dine weighs. The crop goes to
the 12th street cannery in Salem
and . picking . will probably con
tinue for about four weeks
Three tons of -spinach seed has
just been harvested, on the Cline
farm. Kirsch brothers mowed the
field with- a . power, mower, and
swather. If lay in the swath -for
10 days and then was threshed
with a combine ' just as' crimson
clover and Austrian 'field -peas
are.
Another, comparatively new
venture in seed raising for this
district is that of sugar beet seed.
Leonard Seifer has just planted
12 acres of river , bottom land to
sugar beets which will be ready
for harvest in just one year.
George Cline has -also planted
five acres and J. Stuckliek five.
These ventures may be the fore
runner of a greatly increased acre
age in the future and in these days
of strict sugar rationing the idea
of being able to raise sugar has a
special appeal.
