PAGE TEN THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12, 1930 SUTTER SUPPLY SHORTAGE FELT, PRICES STRONG Portland (IP) Strengthening of the position of the butter market at mid-west and eastern points at this time Is more or less of season able character. Along the Pacific slops there Is little material change In the price ,11st or in conditions. -Shortage of butter In the Port' land territory continues unabated with a consequent strengtnening ox the Price situation. No change, horn-ever, was made In quotations for the day. Scramble for butterfat has be come the greatest of the season to date. Sales of butter continue to gain faster than the Increase In production, which now appears al most general along the coast. Continued steadiness of the egg market situation is reflected here. In fact steadiness Is Indicated gen erally along the coast storage op erations continue to gain heavily In all sections. So scarce are live chickens at this time that some of the killers are offering up to 23 cents pound for both light and medium weight hens. Purchases of heavy stock are reported up to 25 cents pound. No Improvement in the supply. Market for dressed turkeys Indi cates no change either In price or condition for the day. Hens are selling 28 cents pound generally for number 1. with toms at 30 cents pound. Receipts are of fair volume, Likewise demand. Pi.ce of cheese Is down 1 cent pound at Tillamook, according to announcement of Carl Haberlach, sales head. The new price there ks 24 cents for triplets and 25 cents for loaf, both 1 cent below any mark a year ago. Active trading tone Is continued In the market for country killed hogs. Lamb situation Is just steady. Beef Is In good call. Further advancing tendency Is noted In the market for citrus fruits. The California exchange continues to stiffen the price of oranges. Re ports indicate an early upward swing for lemons. Uusually the marketing of lemons Is greatest In March and April, says Harry Larsen of the West Coast Fruit company. Owing to the fact that the price advanced to such a point that con sumption was curtailed, an easier situation Is reflected in the broccoli-cauliflower market here. Re ceipts are still curtailed from the Umpqua. Mexican tomatoes are firm at full prices. Quality good. Choice hot house rhubarb Is a trifle scarce. Others unchanged. - Hothouse cucumbers In larger supply and prices are easier. Imperial peas are firmly . priced up to 1ft cents pound. Potatoes are firmly priced with an active local call. Walla Walla spinach Is scarce and the price higher. Mrket Is well supplied with ripe bananas. Price unchanged. Lettuce Is showing firmer tone In the south. HUSTON DENIES RUMORSOFQUITTING " (Continued from piur 1) clation's activities In connection j with Muscle Shoals legislation, Hus- i ton, a former president of the or- j t animation, said that J. W. Worth -ington, executive chairman of the association was probably the only I person who could give the commit-; tee the desired Information. He pro mised, however, to attempt to obtain the records. j Chairman Caraway of the com mittee had previously charged that Worthing on was "dodging' the committee. After Huston said the secretary was HI In a Detroit hos pital, Caraway remarked that he would remain "sick'' until there was no danger that the committee would question him. Huston suggested that U the committee members did not believe Worthington was "really ill" they should make efforts to have him appear. Huston said his former organisa tion had collected between 9400.000 and $500,000 since It was created several years ago. He said It had re ceived as much as 975,000 In ft year and as little as $30,000.

LARGE VOLUME SHARES TRADED IN STOCK MART New York (IP) Trading on the stock exchange Wednesday broke all records for 1930 In volume witn prices moving Irregularly. Total sales were 4.470,080 snares compared with 3.993.740 shares on Friday ana .s,vu snares on February i, the previous 1930 re cord. According to preliminary cal culations the Dow Jones and com pany Industrial average declined 3 5 to 272.71, and the railroad average lost 0.31 to 152.23. This irregularity was orougnt about chiefly by reports of lower steel production and car loadings that fell below this time a year ago though they were above the previous week. The market was lower at tne opening, rallied around noon and then sagged again. Easy money the rate leu to S'i from 4 per cent and a sharp rally In the oils on decreased production and a firmer price tendency, failed to bring about a recovery that would hold. Most of the oil shares went to new highs for the year in the best move this group has seen lor several months. On the late decline the pe troleum group eased only moderately compared with the remainder of the list. Instead of selling off, the group turned dull. Adjustment of prices in Issues whose earnings might be Impaired went ahead vigorously. Simmons was considered in this category and bears forced it to a new low since 1926 at 53, where It was off 4;i. Gillette made a new low on the move, 88 3-8 off 2;. United States Industrial Al cohol suffering from price reduc tions in its line fell to 104 i, a new 1030 low and decline of T points. Sharp breaks were made by Unit ed States Steel, Radio. Bethlehem 8teel, Westinghouse Electric, Amer ican and Foreign Power and General Electric. American Water Works dropped more than 3 points, and Toungstown Sheet at Tube more than 6. The latter was depressed be cause of the hitch which developed In its plans to be merged with Beth lehem Steel. Motor shares eased off after a spurt of strength In the afternoon. Yellow Truck, an exception, rose In the late trading as did Nash. Gener al Motors and Packard, early lead ers, declined from their highs, rec ords for the year. DEMAND FOR PLANTS CANNOT BE FILLED Available strawberry plants perlally of the Marshall variety, will not supply more than a quar ter of the demand, according to Andy Vercler, one of Hunt Broth. ers' field men, who says that many farmers are scouring the country in an effort to get plants for new acreage. He states that the dry fall last fall was such as to prevent a good percentage of the plants from rotting properly. Quite a bit of new acreage Is going out here and there both In Marshall! and Etterbergs where thj plants are available. "I haven't been out the past few days as I've been kind ct under the weather," said Vercler, "but the strawberries were showing up pretty good Uis last time out. We intend to be out in the next day or two and spend some time mak ing a general surrey of the situation. DOHENY BRIBERY TRIALJJNDERWAY (Continued from pae 1 Dohcny and a number of friends.

The fund was added to the first deficiency bill after sharp debate over the policies of the board during wmcn senator ttroosnart, republi can, Iowa, urged cooperation by the board with the Canadian wheat pool In opposition to England, France and Italy. Brooknart expressed a belief that combination of the three Euro pean nations against the American wheat growers was In operation. He blamed the board for not asking more money at mis time. Defending the policies of the board. Chairman McNary, of the ag riculture committee, said a "des perate situation" existed throughout toe world In the wheat market and he believed the board was doing all it "poesioiy can at mis time. Senator McKeliar, democrat. Ten nessee, said he hod heard reports that the board was "gambling" to the futures market on cotton and wheat and he severely condemned such a practice. ;Nary denied the Doara nad taken tuch action. me sioo.ooo.OOO aDDroDrlatlon al lots the board a total of S250.000 nnn of the 8300,000,000 authorized by congress for the relief work. . Chairman Jones, of the aDnronria- tlons committee, said that no indi cation was fiven by the board as to now it win use tne appropriation. He added he was content to let the board have full responsibility for the expenditure of the funds. STRAW VOTE ON DRY LAW TO INFLUENCE HOPS Hop men ore beginning to discuss the possibilities forecast by the pro hibition poll being taken by the Lit erary Digest In terms of immediate effect on the situation in the valley If the vote continues to indicate an overwhelming sentiment In favor of the repeal of the prohibition law. It is declared by some that reports continuing on this basis are apt to cause a slump In the movement to cut down hop production by discon tinuance of hop yards and Is apt to result in some farmers who are now seriously considering such, a move thinking twice again before they take definite action. . While the returns so far taken give only a very small percentage of the expected vote and to a large ex tent Indicate that the cities are vot ing overwhelmingly for repeal while some country sections are more or less for retention of prohibition. some of the hop men declare that the final outcome will even go stronger In favor of repeal With that sentiment among the growers many of them will think twice be fore following up the plan to reduce acreage expecting a distinct reaction throughout the country with pos sible resultant favorable legislation. They point out how closely the re turns on the Hoover-Smith straw vote forecast the actual returns and that because of this result the final result on the prohibition straw vote will be taken much more seriously. ; At the -same time hop men arc i not counseling any change in the talk of reducing production by re-: ducing acreage. They say if any re-1 action is felt tnrougn legislation it will take some time even if the country should vote by an enormous majority in favor of repeal and tnat definite action along that line is doubtful for a considerable length of time at best. And in the mean time the hop men ale confronted with serious market conditions that cannot be disputed, they declare.

Strawberry and loganberry fields are also scenes of activity. . A. A. Miller and Henry Ammon are preparing to set out 40 acres o! three different varieties of straw berries on the Miller farm one mile west of Jefferson. LEGOE ADVISES REDUCTION IN WHEAT ACREAGE Washington IP Chairman Lcgge of the federal farm board, has be gun an Intensive campaign to get wheat farmers to reduce their acre age next year, which he sees as the only salvation for depressed prices as the result of his experience with the present emergency. - The farm board chairman and ag riculture department officials hith erto have recommended a 10 per cent cut In acreage, but Legge is sued a virtual ultimatum Tuesday in which he, said, in effect, unless farmers reduce their production there is nothing the board can do for them. In a letter to Governor George P. Shafer of North Dakota, he pictured very critical situation, pointing out there is no hope for an export market of any size, and that the board will have 100,000,000 bushels of grain on its- hand at the end of the present year. If farmers are going ahead to produce an additional surplus the basis that some way will be found to take care of it on a fan price level another year, they are going to be mistaken, Lcggc said, bluntly. "If they will cooperate the stabil ization corporation will be Justified In paying storage charges and car rying this wheat tor a tune In the hope that a crop shortage some where In the world will give them an opportunity to Unload It, but on the other hand, the farmers' atti tude is to let George do it all, the natural procedure would seem to be to dispose of this wheat the best they could and write off the loss." This, however, "would probably adversely affect the price of the 1930 crop, he added. ROTARY HEARS" MILLER TALK ON STATE LANDS Each slate is a sovereign state and should control Its public domain. Milton A. Miller, of Portland, stated before the Rotary club Wednesday noon, in support ot President Hoov er's proposal to return something like 200.000,000 acres back to cer tain states, directly affecting eleven western states or 13,221.141 acres in Oregon alone, mcst of which Is In the southeastern portion of - tne state. Proper management and supervi sion of the land In question .now used only for grazing purposes. would bring a sevenue of at least $1,000,000, Miller pointed out. hold ing that the acreage, if sold for $1.50 an acre, would bring the state some $20,000,000. There Is no Question but at pres ent this land Is subject to use and abuse without Tegular restrictions and this condition exists because present land laws are wholly un suited to their efficient develop ment," Miller said.
