Jninbled in t T
Day's Trading
NEW YORK, May 8-WVPrIees
were pretty well Jumbled today
s the stock market moved la an
lr oncluslva manner. !
There was no carry through of
the strength shown in the previ
ous session except in a few to
il ices.
Gains were mora numerous
than losses, but the losses on aver
age ran heavier. V
The market started off on a
downward note and continued
that way until the final hour
when there was some recovery
here and there.
The Associated Press average of
60 stocks was down ,1 of a point
t 77.4, just .1 under the high for
the year established Saturday.
. That was the xugnesl since Au
gust, 1948.
Bullish minded brokers saw a
Sign of strength in action of the
volume. The total for the day was
2,680,000 shares, the lowest since
early April. As prices dipped, the
volume fell. It was off every hour
Until the closing period which cus-
.. tomarily sees a burst of trading.

Mixed Trend
Rules Grains
CHICAGO. May 8-(flV-A mixed
trend ruled In grains at the close
today after the market bad shown
some early strength.
Wheat wound up with losses,
but other cereals held onto a small
part of their early gains. Part of
the late selling tn wheat was at
tributed to profit-taking as all
contracts moved into new high
territory during the first hour of
trading.
Wheat ended unchanged to
lower, corn was 14 to 1 cents
higher, oats were V lower to
higher, rye was -l higher,
soybeans were 1 -3 ft higher and
lard was 10 to 20 cents a hundred
pounds higher. i
Fairly extensive rains were re
ceived In the southwest over the
weekend, ,a fact which had some
thing to do with the decision on
the part of soma, longs to accent
prouia.

major dams, and many others are recoin

PGE believes that government has a place
in the aound and economic development of:
our rivers. PGE, too, has a major part in tha
Job of creating and costributing electricity, at
fair prices, to the people. "
And with governmental and private agen
