Buyers Return
To lift Prices
War News Is Helpful;

In Three Weeks
: NEW YORK. Aug. lWVBuy-
ers returned to the stock market
Tuesday in sufficient numbers to
lift . prices generally fractions , to
around a point ' -
i Reasons given for the comeback
varied. Helpful were hopes for a
'quick allied victory in the Solo
mons and for passage of a more
leinent tax bill at home. Recent
resistance to bearish news from
Russia and India also brought in
bids on the idea the market had
done a lot of discounting.
UDward tendencies were dis
played at the start but prices were
at th best after mid-day. Al
though tobaccos. and scattered spe
cialties stumbled near the close,
gains were well in the majority.
The Associated Press average of
0 stocks was up .2 of a point at
36.4,-largest upturn since July 20.
Dealings expanded moderately,
With transfers of 258,61(h shares
comparing with 209,941 Monday.
Stocks in front included Santa
Fe, U. S. Steel, Chrysler, U. S.
Rubber common and preferred,
Allied Chemical, Du Pont, Santa
Te, Atlantic Coast line, Montgom
ery Ward, Sears Roebuck, Ameri
can Can, - Dow Chemical, Johns
Manville, Warner Bros., Para
mount and Electric Auto-Lite.
Purity Bakeries, Schenley and Na
tional Distillers went into new
. high ground for the year by minor
amounts.
- American Tobacco "B" lost a
, point and lesser recessions were
. shown for Reynolds Tobacco "Bi"
Bethlehem Steel, Pullman, Liggett
& Myers "B" and International
Harvester.
Mart Climbs
After Slump
CHICAGO, Aug. ll-P)-A small
1 amount of mill buying and short
Covering advanced wheat and most
other grain futures Tuesday after
the market had slumped "in early
trading in response to the govern
ment's forecast of huge crops.
The rally generated sufficient
" strength to send wheat to a close at
'AVi-'A cent above Monday's fin-
' ish, September $1.17, December
" $1.20 '
'"Z. Buyers were encouraged by the
firmness wheat showed in face of
a prediction by the government
this year's crop would total 955,-
000,000 bushels, second largest on
record. Liquidation ' at the start,
undoubtedly induced by this fore
cast, soon dried up as traders had
-. generally anticipated a heavy crop
estimate.
It was pointed out that, with a
; carryover of 630,000,000 bushels,
there is estimated to be a total
supply of a -round 1,585,000,000
bushels of wheat for the 1942-43
i season. This compares with do
' mestic needs of about 725,000,000
. bushels. In addition, reports in
dicate an unusually large crop will
- be secured from the Canadian
northwest

Hop Prospects
Are Brighter
WASHINGTON, Aug. U-(JP)-Exceptionally
favorable growring
weather along sections of thePa-
cific coast in the last few weeks
led the agriculture department to
predict today a hop yield larger
than was indicated in its July 1
survey.
A harvest of 39,154,000
pounds, on the basis of Aug. 1
conditions, was predicted. Al
though short of last year's yield
of 40,380,000 pounds, the new
crop would be greater than the
ten-year average (1930-40) of
34,784,000 pounds.
Prospects in Washington were
about the same as on July 1,
but Oregon and California
growers expected an Improve
ment in yield over the prospects
of six weeks ago.
The indicated 1942 yield in
Washington was 13,984,000
pounds. The 1941 crop totaled 13,
320,000 pounds. The Oregon crop
was expected to yield 13,860,000
pounds; last year's was 16,800,000
pounds. California hop growers
were expected to have a crop to
taling 11,310,000 pounds. Their
1941 yield was 10,260,000 pounds.

Department Stresses
Bulb Inspection Need
With narcissus bulb well under
way in Oregon, the state depart
ment of agriculture warns that all
commercial plantings must have
inspection for the greater bulb
fly before bulbs are shipped.
Some growers hold their bulbs to
dry thoroughly before shipping;
others ship as soon as possible
after the bulbs are out of the
ground. The department will
supply any grower literature on
diseases of narcissus, states C. A.
Cole, horticulturist for the plant
division.
