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.

RIFE IN STOCK
MARKET FRIDAY
New York (LP) Moving over a
wide range with many issues going
Into new low ground, the stock mar
ket Friday presented a highly Ir
regular appearance. At times the
entire list was forced down, losses
in a few issues extending over eight
points. Then rallies followed only
to be obliterated again with further
heavy selling.
U. S. Steel was among the first to
rally on each cycle. Late in the day
it was above 219, compared with lis
previous close of 218'i. Other rep
resentative industrials were not as
fortunate. Westinghouse Electric,
General Electric, Union Carbide,
Montgomery Ward and a number of
others declined sharply and failed
to rally.
Kailroad shares went down with
the Industrials, although the oils,
another group tipped for a good
rally, held well after early sharp
gains had been chalked up. Utili
ties were weak all day as were the
radio shares, airplane stocks and
special issues like International
Combustion. The latter went to a
new low and Its preferred stock
followed.
Crosley Radio, Kolster Radio.
Bendlx Aviation and Curtiss-Wright
all made new lows while wide de
clines were registered in other
shares of the Radio and aviation
groups. Incidentally both these
groups had been among the strong
est In the bull market of a year ago.
The unsettlement Friday resulted
mainly from the rise of $88,000,000
in brokerage loans announced after
tie close Thursday. Trades had
been expecting a decrease and that
accounted for the recovery toward
me close Thursday.
Call money was easv at five ner
cent after renewing at six ner cent.
Time money was easy in tone, the
easier credit situation helping the
bond market which was generally
higher with the exception of the
convertible issues which went down
with their stocks.
