countered profit selling resistance
after a first hour rise --carried a
number of leaders to new highs
'for a year or more.
'" Closing prices were mixed with
.steels, motors and rubbers, down
fractions to around a point. The
. rails, heavily favored by buyers
In recent s essions, yielded ground
lor a time but bounced back at
the end for fractional gains. Air
crafts, coppers, oils and "Various
specialties also finished moderate

To some extent, market action

Us sharp recovery after the divi

(2) The base price of $29.20 per
ton at port, plus the transport-

- Wjth the exception that no sepa
rate differential is granted in the
regulation for "spot sales,", these
prices are at approximately the
same level requested " in ;' May
1941, and again last February of

Oregon Shorn !
Wool Is Short
k .The quantity ;.'of wool shorn in
Oregon -in.. 1942 is estimated at
12,923,000 pounds or eight per cent
less than the 14,058,000 produced
in 1941 and 26 per cent , less than
the. 10-year. (193M0) average
production of r 17,417,000 ..pounds.
On the 1asis" of J 1,452,000 "" sheep
shorn, the averaje fleece weight
this year , was- 8.9 pounds, a little
below the 9.2 pounds obtained in
1941 but above the 10-year aver
age weight of 8.7 pounds. Sheep
numbers: continue to decline in
Oregon," the primary reason for
the ; relatively t small 1942 l wool
crop. In that connection, the num
ber shorn this year was 5 per
cent, under the number shorn last
year and 28 per cent under aver
age number shorn during the 10
year, period from 1931 to 1940 'ini;'
elusive. , . - -
The quantity ;of wool" shorn or
to be shorn jn the United iStates
in 194Z:1s esitimated at 392,346.000
pounds according to preliminary
report issued today by the US de
partment of agriculture. This
quantity is .the largest shorn wool
production on record, being about.
of 1 per. cent larger than -the
1941 . production the previous
record. '"i"::v ' :',
' ' The increase in . production ' In
1942 compared with 1941 resulted
from a ."larger number, of sheep .
shorn since the average weight of
wool, from .sheep 'shorn '.this year
was smaller than . last. . For the
United States the. estimated num
ber of sheep shorn this year was
49,092,000 with an average weight
of wool per head of 7.99. In 1941
the number shorn was 48,130,000
jvith an average weight of 8.11. -

Wheat Leads
Big Advance
CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-(iip)-Wheat
prices Wednesday led one of the
strongest grain market advances
in .weeks as a result of buying
which brokers said was touched
off by the allied attack on the
French coast
Prices in all futures pits closed
at or near the day's highs. Wheat
was 1-2T cents higher than Tues
day, September $1.18-, De
cember $1.21-.
r Wheat was up almost a cent
soon after the opening and after
mid-session extended the gain to
2 cents and showed little sign of
retreating. Dealers covering pre
vious . short sales accounted for
much of the support, brokers said,
although some reinstated lines
sold out recently on hte price de
cline that carried corn and rye
to seasonal lows.
