Selling, Buying
NEW YORK, Nov. 8 -P)
Blocks -worked at cross purposes
in Monday's market as the gen
erally good war news Inspired
heavy buying of peacetime favor
ites and the unloading of many
leaders with cloudier post-war
prospects.
The Associated Press average
of 60 stocks was unchanged at
40.8 which, incidentally, was the
best mark since November 5,
1941, - recorded Saturday. Trans
fers of 1,207,643 shares compared
with 856,830 last Friday and were
the largest since December 31.
; In the new high division
some eventually cut or cancelled
initial advances were General
Motors, Chrysler, Yellow Truck,
Montgomery Ward, Sears Roe
': buck, Woolworth, J. I. Case, In
ternational Harvester, Interna
tional Telephone, Dome Mines,
" Dow ' Chemical, Johns-Manville,
Standard Oil (NJ), Radio Corp.,
and American Cable and Radio.
Allied Chemical was a wide mov
er with a gain of 4V4 points.
Prominent on the downside
were Santa Fe, NY Central, Penn
sylvania, Southern Pacific, Great
Northern, US Steel, Bethlehem,
Douglas Aircraft, United Aircraft,
Glenn Martin, Youngstown Sheet,
Kennecott, ' Anaconda, Western
Union, Goodrich and US Gypsum.
Cash Wheat Price
Averages Higher
. i
Cash wheat prices at Portland
slightly better than one cent per
bushel higher during the week
ending November 6, as compared
with the previous week, according
to the department of agriculture.
The higher prices were not as a
result of an active demand for
wheat in this market but partial
ly reflected the advance in the
option market at Chicago, which
amounted to about two cents per
bushel for the period. The only
interest mani festoon the part of
buyers was for small quantities
of special grades of wheat to ap
ply on previous sales to milling
companies.
Milling operations were very
much curtailed, on account of the
decline in flour sales. Reports in
dicate that bakers and flour deal
ers are not increasing their flour
stocks, preferring to await the an
nouncement of the permanent
flour ceilings expected about De
cember 3. Export sales of flour
to the Americas under the wheat
flour export program were only
- moderate, during the week. The
Commodity Credit corporation
reports that sales of food wheat,
' through the Pacific coast regional
office, continued rather heavy for
the period. Wheat receipts at
Portland were 97 cars, as com
pared with 92 cars the. previous
week. :..

Unsettled
-.CHICAGO, Nov. Q Extreme-gains
of almost 2 cents in
rye prices, 1 in corn,' and in
oats and losses ranging from ' M
to cent in wheat were reduced
before the : grain market's close
Monday ended an unsettled trade
typified by the divergent trends
of values. j ; ,
During the last hour or; so per
sistent weakness of wheat, which
was lower t practically all season,
affected other grains, j selling
causing a late reaction in prices.
However, corn and oats quotations
reached new highs for the past
month, with December Contracts
at 84 and 51 respectively.
Wheat closed Vk-H cent lower
than Saturday, December !$ 1.25
1.26, May $1.28-.
The trend in wheat was blamed
largely on sluggish flour business
and trade belief that prices could
advance only 3 or 4 cents before
reaching levels at which the gov
ernment's program to release loan
stocks to millers might j be put
into operation.

New Nickels
Victory t nickels, 1942 model,
made without use of critical met
als, will be in general circulation
in Salem soon. . .
First shipment of the new coins,
lacking entirely in the metal that
gave the US five-cent piece its
nickname of nickel, was received
by Ladd 2d Bush Salem branch of
the United States National bank
Monday; ii C. Smith, vice-president,
reported. They are identi
cal in size and design with the
1941 Jefferson nickels, making
them acceptable for operating pay
telephones j and other .. coin de
vices, Smith pointed out.
The new nickels appear bright
er of finish than the old type and
have somewhat more "ring" to
them when! dropped on a counter.
They carry a bust of Thomas Jef
ferson on one side and a reproduc
tion of his home, Monticello, on
the other.

OSWEGO.O re, Nov. 8 (A5)
Editor Ed Donnelly of the Oswe
go Review noted there were no
candidates for town marshaU in

So he suggested jokingly, he
thought, that two of the - town's
habitual miscreants ' be candidates
in a write-in. campaign.
Came the vote counting, and
Donnelly found he had been elect
ed instead. s. : ; .
Donnelly Saturday predicted
he'd be Oswego's best marshal
