War News Aids
Stock Market
Revival Follows Early
Downtrend; Gains
Big in Heavy Trade
NEW YORKJFeb. 1 -JPf- Fur
ther cheering Russian war news
helped put props under the stock
market Monday after early profit
taking on the lengthy rise had
given the list a generally lower
slant.
A revival of rails and motors,
along with scattered blu chips,
brought a last-hour shift in many
leaders and, while losers were
plentiful at the close, gains run
ning to a point or so were widely
distributed and there was an as
sortment of new highs for more
than a year in evidence.
Aside from the brightening mili
tary picture, inflationary phycho
iogy and investment demand per
sisted as buying incentives ac
counts were lightened in numer
ous instances, however, on the
thought that a technical correction
of the strong recovery from the
. bottoms ot last April was overdue.
The Associated Press average
of 60 stocks was up J2 of a
point at 44.2,. A peak since July
28, 1941. Transfers, despite fre
quent slow-downs, amounted to
1,086,750 shares against 1,225,520
in the previous full session. It
was another of the broadest mar
kets ' in months, 865 individual
issues being traded. Of these 395
were "up and 470 down or un
changed.
Spring Planting,
New Crops Topics
Of Meeting Series
Crops for spring planting, pas
ture crops- and seed crops will
be discussed at a series of meet
ings to be held for Marion county
farmers on February 3 and 4
as arranged by W. G. Nibler,
assistant county agents
Spring planting will be a prob-.
- lem on many farms. Lack of fall
seedings, labor shortage and new
war crops such as flax seed pre
sent a complicated picture in de
ciding what to plant. Farmers
will want to get maximum pro
duction of hay, seed and grain
for the war effort.
Meetings are scheduled for
Wednesday, February 3, at the
St. Paul city hall at 1:30 pjn.
and the Quinaby Royal Neighbors
hall at 7:30 p.m. On February 4,
meetings are at Hubbard city hall
at 1:30 p.m. and at night in the
Sublimity Farmer's Union hall.
E. R. Jackman, farm crops
specialist from Oregon State col
lege who is aquainted with these
new crops, will be present at all
meetings to assist in the discus
sions. Cpl Miller Visits

CHICAGO, Feb. 1-CTVBuying
interest In grains was at a low
point Monday, and as a conse
quence, declines were registered
in all pits on scattered selling.
Wheat and rye were under most
pressure, the latter grain falling
more than a cent in a continua
tion of the slump which' started
Saturday when ' agricultural de
partment officials were quoted
as saying they could see no im
mediate need for rye shipments
to Russia. , -
t inai prices on wheat were
-l cent lower, May $1.39-,
July Sl.39- corn was off
May 98-98," oats declined
rye dropped 1-1 and
soybeans slumped Ya i
Although there was no news
to account for the easiness; in
wheat, traders said the contin
ued possibility of ceilings on i the
grain acted as a depressing f in
fluence. Office of price admini
stration officials were reported as
seeing a long period of increas
ing activity on futures exchang
es as a result of ceiling already
in effect and those yet to come.
A step toward preventing any
change in the price ceilings on
flour and bread, which reflect
back upon wheat quotations, Was
taken by the agricultural depart
ment.
After the market closed, the de
partment announced a floor un
der mill feed prices. The support
will apply only to mill feeds de
rived as a by-product in the man
ufacture of flour for human con
sumption. The ruling gives mil
lers a guaranteed price for mill-
feeds, and traders said, might
compensate for any loss sustained
by operations under flour ceil
ings. ! .
The commodity credit corpora
tion here advanved its price! for
milling wheat to $1.59 a bushel,
or 3 cents more than was 'asked
in late January. The upturn Ire-
suited from the increase in par
ity between December 15 find
