PAGE FOURTEEN THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1929 FLOUR CUT 20 CENTS BARREL; BUTTER STEADY Portland W) In keeping with the tumbling wheat market, the Sperry Flour company ha reduced the price of all flours 20 cents. This puts the product on a basis of 97.80 a barrel, representing, all told, a de cline of 91 since the beginning of harvest. Portland A meeting of Indepen dent butter and egg handlers is scheduled for the next few days to take steps toward the organization of a new egg and butter exchange for Portland. No such exchange Is now being operated locally. There Is a produce exchange which Is operat ed by manufacturers and quotes on ly cube butter. Despite failure of the Portland Produce exchange to recently lower the price of fresh butter, the trade Is depressed here and elsewhere along the coast. California report the same underselling as here. No change in butter fat. There was practically no change In the egg market situation for the day. Most of the local trade is con suming storage goods or standards. Few fresh extras are offered here. The better grade stuff Is moving where prices are better than here. As forecast there Is an improved tone in the market for live chickens here. Receipts recently have been greatly decreased and most killers are offering higher prices although some are sending out low prices as a bluff to fool competitors. Market for turkeys shows a very firm tone along the wholesale way with little change In quotations. Re cent reports of the local office of the department of agriculture of an Increase in Oregon supplies was made known In July and August. Except for very large sized stock, the market for celery in carlots is reported depressed and low around 91.75 to 92 extreme. According to the latest report of the Oregon garden ers' association the demand for mix ed carload lots of Oregon cauliflow er, lettuce and root vegetables is of good character. Around two cars a day have recently been shipped from Portland headquarters. There is a famine of fresh halibut in local trade. Sales to retailers here la 24 cents pound. Country killed hogs are steady but veal, bulls and lambs are easy. Grape market is firmer for wine stuff; table stock steady at low pric es. Carload onion market remains very sluggish around 91 and sacks country points. Cranberry demand from outside points Is favorable with prices hld. There remains a slow call for huckleberries.

BUILDING CODE TERMS EVADED BY LONG LEASE The builder and the lesces of the new Steeves building now being erected on Court street, west of the valley between Commercial and Liberty streets, have succeeded In evading the Intent of the Salem building code. This lias been ac complished by the drawing up of a 50-year lease, whereby the Eoff Electric, Inc., leases both the Steeves building and the Halik building that Joins It on the west. Such a lease, It Is held by the Pacific Coast Building Officials' conference, which compiled the ! building code, adopted in Salem, is tantamount to a single ownership! of the two buildings. Since it is so held a fire-proof wall between the j two buildings appears not to be necessary. Dr. B. L. Steeves, owner, and the Eoff Electric, lessee of the building, objected to the small additional ex- j pense necessary for a masonry wall. With the adjoining buildings under separate ownership a m&ronry wall would have been necessary under the code. Discovering later the fact that a long-term lease of the two buildings would be recognized as a single ownership, they prepared the 50 -year contract. The leases were sent by City At torney Williams to the Pacific Coast Building Officials' conference, which has replied with an approval of the leases and the wood-constructed wall. Local officials, under the cir cumstances, are powerless to re quire anything more substantial. The conference comment on the leases follows: Leases seem to show single oc cupancy for both properties. If combined building not over area for Group F buildings suggest con sidering both properties single own ership." It is the custom of building de partments generally to regard long term leases as ownership of the property In question. A building erected on property located as this Is should be considered as a single building If this Is the desire of the lessee, and should be designed and erected in all its parts in conform ity to the Uniform Building code. The building area would be gov erned by Section 1102, and if there happened to be two or more ten ants in the building, the separating partitions should be constructed as specified in Section 503. See Table of Separations, page 18, oi tne Uniform Building Code." CROP REPORTING TO BE ENLARGED Washington (P) The tcderal farm board announced Thursday that It had requested Secretary Hyde "to indicate to the bureau ol agricultural economics the need of prompt enlargement of Its crop re porting and agricultural outlook service in the ioreign neia. The action was taken after a con ference of the board with depart ment of agriculture officials at which a report from a committee on the development and extension 01 a foreign agricultural marketing and outlook service was discussed. The report was prepared by Edwin P. Gay, Dr. Alonzo Taylor, and A&her Hobson. JAPAN ACCEPTS NAVAL CONFERENCE (Continued from page 1) learns on good authority, however, these figures probably will be re duced at London sufficiently to ap ply actual reduction to both Amer ican and British programs. Ambassador Debuchl communi cated the Japanese reply to Secre tary Stimson. It was a copy ol the note sent by Tokio to London and was given to this government for its Information. There are no reser vations or conditions to Japan par ticipation in the conference al though Japan expressed eagerness to consult with Oreat Britain prior to the conference regarding essential points upon which agreement will be sought. In these conversations Japan is expected to request an increase in her auxiliary ship tonnage ratio from 3 to 5. to 7 to 10. as compared with the British and American na vies. The communication docs not mention the British feeler regarding possible abolit ion of submarines which is certain to be opposed by Japan. The character of the Japanese note coincided with expectations that Tokio would unequivocally join in any effort toward naval reduction regardless whether under the league of nations or other auspices. All powers Invited to the naval conference have now accepted. The conference will meet the third week In January.
