TURKEY OUTPUT
UP 10 PERCENT;
PRICEPUZZLES
?ortland OW With a turkey out
sut greater than during any pre
vious season, there la naturally more
than normal (peculation in the
trade as to the probable price that
will rule for the holidays.
Last season can scarcely be a cri
terion as to what will happen dur
ing the Thanksgiving trade lor 1929
inasmuch as there are two Import
ant factors to consider.
First of all It 1 known that there
la an Increase of fully 10 per cent
In the available supply of turkeys
In this territory. Then again It la
noted that the birds, as a rule, will
welsh considerably more than for
last Thanksgiving. Still another
lactor la that those who paid the
extreme price for turkeys last year
were quick to regret It. Practically
aU of the early buyers lost heavily
last season.
This season the trade la not antic
ipating as high prices as ruled last
Thanksgiving. The trade aims to
have the price low enough so tnat
consumers will buy freely and yet
high enough so that producers will
have a profitable season.
Market for eggs continues to re
flect a strong tone In practically all
leading markets of the country.
Fresh stock is in keener demand and
Id small supply. The public Is get
ting tired of paying fresh egg prices
for storage stock.
Market for butter continues to
reflect an easy tone. While there
Has no change In the price of cubes
on the produce exchange, none was
expected there Inasmuch as no ser
ious effort is being made to follow
supply and demand.
Considerable strength la showing
In the market for potatoes both at
primary points and locally. Prices
here are 10 to 15 cent higher for
the day with advances of at least
that much at leading primary mar
kets. Still another general advance Is
noted in the price of grapes with
the possible exception of Concords.
Seedless are now selling up to $1.75
a lug. Wine grapes are firm at $1
for Muscat and 80 to 85c a lug for
Zinfandel type.
Further gain shown for cabbage
with a scramble for shipping needs.
Distributors are now paying (25 ton
and furnishing crates in their eag
erness to secure their Immediate
needs.
Slightly Improved buying tone Is
noted for eountry killed calves of
top quality but prices are little
changed. Dressed hogs are Inclined
to rule somewhat easier but the
price is unchanged. Lambs continue
alow. Beef slow.
Hothouse tomatoes are lower with
standard $2.50 and extra fancy $3
crate.
Turkish figs offering around 35
to 38 cents pound.
Cauliflower firmer for shipping,
round $1.15 to $1.25 crate. Califor
nia tomatoes are firmer and a dime
per lug higher. Sweet potatoes are
easier and lower 'In spots.
Green olives are quoted around 8
cents pound. Local peas are around
cents pound.

STOCK MARKET
SALES SET NEW
RECORD TOTAL
New York (U The battered
stock market swung forward In the
last three minutes of the greatest
day In Its history Tuesday a swing
forward brought about by millions
of dollars backing from bankers
and supported further by state
ments ol confidence from finan
ciers. Trading Tuesday was at tne
greatest volume In history 16,410,
030 shares. The previous record
was 12.848,650 last Thursday.
It was an amazing recovery, uur-
Ing the day, prices had shot down
and down. Trading had been at
its greatest rate, passing the 13,000,
000 mark at 2:10 p. m.
In the last hour the down-swing
carried on V. 8. steel, leader In all

10 points higher than It was earlier
Tuesday afternoon. New York Cen
tral closed at 180 i for a net 3 '4
point gain after being below 180
during the day.
Tickers were running far behind
the market all day on both the
curb and stock exchanges. No one
tried to follow prices. Few had the
pleasure of giving orders. That
was done by the brokers who sold
out thousands of accounts of some
of the small traders able to hold on
until Tuesday and many of the
large operators who are now leei
lng the brunt of the decline.
The stock ticker at 3:50 p. m. was
nearly one and one half hours late,
Indicating It would run until 5:30
p. m.
At the close the curb ticker was
115 minutes late and was expected
to run until after 5:30 p. m.
Liquidation attained the largest
proportions In history at the open
ing. Blocks of 60,000 to 80.000
shares came out. On the curb,
Cities Service featured with a sale
of 117,000 shares at 24'4, off 3
Later the Issue broke further and
word was received that the com
pany would withdraw righta to buy
new stock at the original offering
price of $45 tor present holderls.
The downward momevent was aid
ed by collapse on one curb broker
age house.
During the first half hour busi
ness was at the rate of more than
32.000.00G shares for a full day.
Sales of aclve stocks by periods
calculated by the stock exchange
were:
10 to 10:303 259,800
10 to 128,378 200
10 to 1:3012,652,000
10 to 3:1013.839.000
Most price closed above their
lows but were still two to 20 points
or more below the previous close.

one time was at 100 flat, off 45 from
the previous close, rallied to close
at 120. off 19. Oeneral Electric.

San Francisco, OP) The decline
Tuesday In quotations on stock of
Transamerica corporation was met
at 9:30 a. m. (Pacific coast time)
with the following statement from
president A. P. Gianni ni:
The fact is that Transamerica
was the last stock to desist the
present decline affords a fair ap
praisal of its Investment value,
but with the change in the general
trend, It should not be surprising
that Transamerica eventually fol
lowed the other leading stocks of
tne world. .
Selling brought about to pro
tect the margin accounts and' to
provide funds for the purchase of
securities which have declined so
drastically In the present market
prices is the basis for the decline
in our stock. We are facing the
situation with confidence and feel
sure that our stockholders will do
the same.
"It must be borne in mind that
Transamerica is primarily a bank
holding corporation and the real
value of its holdings has not been
affected. This Is a period that calls
for clear heads and bold hearts."
WHEAT CLOSES
STEADIER AFTER
EARLY PLUNGE
Chicago (IP) The wheat market
showed a steadier tone after the
opening slump here Tuesday and
closed the day only slightly lower
than Monday. The weakness of the
stock exchanges caused the early
drop despite the financial support
to the government. Prices rallied
and fell several times during the
day but a good demand was in
evidence most of the session. For-
reign markets and eastern house?
are reported to be buying and
there is a large demand from the
northwest. Milling interests are
said to have made sizable sales of
flour. The gulf exported some
wheat.
At the close wheat was H to 1
cents lower; corn was down H to
cent and oats was H to 1 cent
lower. Provisions were weak.

Angeles and Colorado Springs about
the same hour.
Jack Pry, president of the Stan
dard Express, a subsidiary of the
Western Air Express, was at the
controls of the plane which left Los
Angeles. He Is well acquainted with
the route.
In the plane from Colorado
Springs were Captain C. W. Prance,
district manager of the Western Air
Express, and Phil Phllbln, district
manager of the Mid-Continent Air
Express, a subsidiary.
The two passengers aboard the

Brlten, 25, Los Angeles.
Los Angeles officials of Western
Air Express refused to abandon hope
that the pilot had swerved from his
course to avoid an unexpected storm
and had landed safely In some re
mote spot from which he could not
communicate with them.
The region la Isolated and It

After leaving Kingman, the plane

there. However, the reports placed
it over Adamana and Navajo to the
east and a bridge watchman at Pin
to, Arts., said he heard but did not
see a plane he believed was flying
in the clouds. Prom that time on It
had not been traced.
The plane's scheduled arrival time
at Albuquerque waa 11: IS a.m. Mon
day. It took olf on Its regular flight
to the New Mexico city from Los
Angeles at S a.m.
The terrain between Adamana
and Albuquerque, some 160 miles, la

ters of extinct volcanoes. Landing,
except on one of the few level mesas
scattered throughout the area,
would be extremely perilous, those
acquainted with the country said.

Official Washington
Hoping For Decisive
Crash, Then Harmony
Washinirton (UP) Responsible officials here are not
so much concerned about the
they are that the business, painful though it may be to in
dlviduals affected, be over qulckly. "
They fear the elfects of a long
gradual decline filled with months
of discouragement rather than a
sharp, quick break which will end
suspense and reveal the worst with
out delay.
For this reason officials here are
not alarmed over the outlook. They
believe the drastic drops of the last
ten days were Inevitable and they
believe it Is well that the declines
have been forced into that short
span instead of dragging out for
months.
While more settling down Is ex
pected, officials here believe the
selling wave Is nearing its end.
Stock prices for many leading is
sues, according to the view nere.
have reached prices in fair relation
to earning capacity after a long
period of speculative inflation
which sent them out of all bounds
with regard to prospective divi
dends.
Officials In closest touch with the
general financial and business sit
uation are confident the effects of
the break will not extend into gen
eral business but on the contrary
will release money to other business
and industrial uses. A long period
of comparative quiet in the stock
market is anticipated by many of
ficials here while Individuals, dis
illusioned at the failure to make
easy killings in Wall street, turn
to more prosaic but safer places to
Invest their savings.
Officials here find grounds for
confidence In the fact that money
is not tight. Druing the 1907 panic
money could not be had in many
Instances. This Is not true now.
Banks have plenty of liquid funds
for loans and interest rates have
not been affected, one official
pointed out.
Although financial depression Is
the most serious thing that can
happen politically to an adminis
tration, there are few signs of anx
iety here. Close contact is being
maintained with money centers
but thus far information given to
officials here is reassuring. For
this reason officials who otherwise
might feel concern over the reac
tion politically are confident that
within a short time it will be seen
that business - fundamentally has
not been materially affected.
There Is little likelihood of any
investigation of the stock market
situation by the senate at least
until after the regular sessions be
gin, but senators individually are
expressing Interest In an airing of
tne circumstances which led to the
current collapse.

MITES CAUSE OF
BLACKBERRIES
TURNING RED
Evergreen blackberries which re
fused to become "black" but re
mained red and hard although they
fully matured in every other way
were probably infected with a
blackberry mite, according to the
reply which County Fruit Insec
tor, S. H. Van Trump, received
from the experiment station at O.
A. C.
A sample of the red "black"
berries taken from the George Mil
ler berry farm near Fairfield was
sent to the college experts by Van
Trump for diagnosis. Sixteen rows
of berries hi the center of the Mil
ler field where soil conditions and
drainage conditions were of the
best, refused to ripen. All other
berries in the field matured as us
ual. The same difficulties were re
ported from a number of other
evergreen berry growers.
In his first letter to van Trump.'
Don C. Mote, entomoliglst at O. A.
C. said the berries had all the
symptoms of a disease commonly
known as the redberry disease of
the blackberries, caused by a black
berry mite, Eriophyes sp. This
mite is known to attack a num
ber of varieties of blackberry in
cluding Mammoth, Oregon Ever
green, Lawton, dewberries, logan
berries, raspberries and Himalayas.
The mite was first discovered to be
doing damage to blackberries in
California and is found to be dis
tributed along the coast of Califor
nia clear up to the Oregon line.
Mote said the berries sent from
Marion county were the first record
of the red raspberry disease occur-
ing in Oregon.
In his second letter, Mote .said a
mite was found In the berry speci
men sent by Van Trump but that
the Marlon county mite was not
the Eriophyes species said to cause
the red blackberry disease in Cali
fornia. He suggested that the
trouble might be physciological and
have something to do with the
moisture requirements of the plant.
van Trump, however, says that
drainage conditions were of the
best In the Milter field where the
disease was found to be the most
active.
In California, growers have been
using the application of commercial
lime sulfur solution at a strength
of from 4 to 8 per cent. The ap
plication Is preferably made when
the growth starts in the spring and
before the flowers opened. Pruning
and trelllsing. It Is said should
precede the spraying and great
care should be taken to completely
cover the stems and buds in sorav-
lng. No assurance Is given by the
college experiment station that the
lime sulfure spray would be ef
fective In Oregon.

ore of excitement when it became
apparent that the heavy support of
