BUTTER STORES
SHOW INCREASE
PRICES STEADY
., Portland, Ore., (IP) The heavy
Increase In storage holdings of
' butter along the Pacific coast slope
recently Indicated not only a highly
speculative demand, but mucn in
creased production. , '
Despite the efforts of some In
terests to make It .appear that
' there wis a general decline In the
price of eggs here lor the day, tne
' co-ops reported former prices con-
tinned. Some cutting ' by private
firms Is noted. . . .. .. ." .
Further reduction has been for
ced in the buying . prt'e of broiler
chickens here. The big packers are
determined to force further sharp
10c lb for y't lb and heavier stuff.
losses and bids are now down to
. Market for live hens is generally
' about steady here and in spots a
fractional betterment Is noted. For
small hens bids are now around
18 to 19c lb. with heavy stuff up
to 24c lb.
Farmers who kill their own lambs
and other meats, have the advan
tage of an Interstate market that
country butchers cannot avail
themselves of, reports Jack Sav
Iner of the American produce.
Therefore farmers are advised to
kill their own in order to obtain
the advantage of more markets
outside the state.
Very low prices are reported on
poor quality lambs, sales being
around 8 to 12c lb. Top quality
lambs are In fair demand with
trading around 18-19c lb. for coun
try killed.
There Is a rather good demand
for both veal and hogs. Tne da-
mahd for hogs Includes both light
and hevy weight stuff. Top qual
ity calves are Inclined to show a
slight price improvement. -Word
comes from the Pacific
Fruit company that the first cher
ries of the season are being picked
at the Dalles and will start for
Portland at once.
Somewhat better supplies of Ore
gon peas are reaching the trade
here. On account of the smaller
shipments from California the lo
cal stock Is finding more favor
with sales up to a dime.
There continues a very favorable
demand for head lettuce. Shipping
call la still good but this may be
slightly curtailed by reason of the
Increasing supplies In the Puget
Sound territory.
With supplies at the lowest mark
for many years, the demand for
apples continues quite favorable
here. Sales of cooker grade con
tinue almost as high as the best
packs of normal seasons.
There remains a very slow de
mand for hothouse cucumbers.
Poor quality California green
beans are being sacrificed.
Weather Is curtailing the demand
for Imperial cantaloupes.
Fresh halibut In good supply at
18c for medium.
Trap Puget Sound chlnook sal
mon offering 26c lb. No Columbia
available.
Cabbage market continues to
weaken with shaded prices.
Citrus fruits arc steady at late
advances.

Chicago (IP) Wheat strength

prices 6old off sharply, recovering;
strongly during tne late trading; on
the board of trade to close frac
tionally higher, early commission
house selling on the hard spots, led
to heavy, stop-loss selling later
the market fell but the early sellers
turned buyers to bring about the
recovery. Corn reacted with wheat
and failed to recover but .ts held
firm until the last on good buying
in May.
At the close wheat was to
cent higher, corn was cent low
er to Ik cent higher and oats was
i cents higher with May l's cents
up. Provisions were sharply lower.
Chicago (JP) Wheat prices here
turned upward early Wednesday.
helped by advances at Liverpool and
by reported probable domestic crop
deterioration southwest u weatner
becomes unusually hot. Stocks of
wheat In Oreat Britain are report
ed as diminishing. Opening
higher, Chicago wheat afterward
held near to the initial range. Corn,
oats and provisions were also easy,
with corn starting; unchanged to
off, and subsequently showing
little alteration.
BELIEVE COPPER
PRICES BOTTOM
LEVEL REACHED
New York (IP) Constant reduc-
tions in the price of copper metal
have 11 nan y arrived at, a Douom,
according to Wall Street opinion
and the industry, which has suf
lered badly from a genuine buyers'
strike can now resume at a faster
pace.
Copper stocks on the stock ex
change have been depressed sharp-
have nad only moderate recovery,
It is believed they have discounted
m0st of the bad news that can
come from th industry. Now that
the price of the metal appears stab
ilized, the next step will be to re
duce dividends to a point in line
with lower prices.
A difference of a few cento a
pound in copper means a "Teat deal
to the large producers in profits.
Fw example. Anaconda which last
year produced nearly a billion
Twinnds would lose S10.000.000 in
. .
earnings lor every cut 01 a cent
pound in the selling price ct the
metal. Prices are now down more
than 5 cents a pound from 1929,
meaning a decrease of $50,000,000
In earnings. Obviously this low
ering by about $0.00 per share will
bring a lower dividend.
The resumption of buying of cop
per metal will benefit more than
the copper companiM. It will gen
erate more active work in electrical
equipment and other lines whare
work has bean held up pending ad
Justment of the copper price situ
at ion.
Incidentally, the copper produc
ers have their field under absolute
control. They can maintain for a
long time a fixed pries by artificial
means. This may be beneficial.
but it has played havoc this year
in a time when business needed
every stimulant.
As a result of this control, it Is
thought that the producers will be
in a position to "jock up" the price
when demand gathers momentum.
A level arcund 13 or 16 cents
pound would not worii hardship to
oilier lines ana would be a fair
return for the copper Industry,

Cherry Fly Figh ters
Not Back of Effort
To Oust Van Trump
While the underground current goes on in the movement
to unseat S. H. Van Trump
Marion county, W. G. Allen,
the prune mover in me present
fight to secure an adequate cherry
fly control method, declares that
the cherry fly fight will not be used
as a tail to the kite of the move
to unseat Van Trump. Allen is
credited with having started the
present cherry fly control move
ment, having taken an active part
in securing the Interest of the State
college and also in securing funds
from the emergency board and as
a result it is admitted he has some
thing to say in the matter.
"I am not engaging in the Van
Trump matter one way or another,"
declared Allen. "I don't know any
thing about the merits of the con
troversy. And It will have to be
threshed out on Its own merits. But
I do know that I do not want to see
the cherry fly control program
wrecked on this controversy.
"The state board of horticulture
which is evidently actively interest
ed In the Van Trump matter had no
connection with the launching of
the cherry fly control campaign. In
fact it is not a matter of extension
work but of research work.
"The failure of an adequate cher
ry fly control cannot be charged up
against Mr. Van Trump either, as I
understand it has been. That is the
meat in the cscoanut. No adequate
control method has ever been devel
oped and ao such it is a matter of
research and not a matter coming
under the province of Mr. Van
Trump. The trouble is that the con
trol methods which have been de
veloped do not control and the ob
ject of the present campaign is to
find, if possible, methods which will
control.
"We have beer, given the active
coop;ration of the college and the
men in charge have respondcoM
quickly and the whole program Is
going ahead harmoniously. Wo do
not want any extraneous fights in
jected into this matter to disrupt
the program which is now well on
the way to being put over.
"Any fight that develops on Van
Trump must be carried on inde
pendently." DAIRY CO-OP TO

JAFFA GATE IS
KEY TO LIFE OF
PEOPLE QE EAST
Jerusalem, (LP) If you stand at
the Jaffa Gate for one hour you will
know more about the East than
you could find out anywhere else
in the world. The best answer to
visitors who wish to know what to
photograph in Jerusalem is:
"Stand at Jaffa Gate. Do not
bother to look. Just click.
At Jaffa Gats there is a con
tinual -ringing of bells by the
phalanx of shoa shiners, who ring
little bells every time they see a
prospective customer. Six or seven
picturesquely dirty Arabs lounge
inside the gate, extremely busy
dclng precisely nothing and doins
it with, great dignity.
Six American tourists approach.
They arc trying to discover the
tower of David. A dozen guides
pounce upon them from all direc
tions, offering to show them every
thing from the tomb of King David
to the shoe lace of St. Paul. The
Americans make a quick bargain
with the guides. Americans always
hire guides.
A stout lady, carrying three live
geese under .her arms, comes be
tween two buses that are trying to
pass each other. The drivers shout.
The fat lady argues. She raises her
arms to stress a point and the geese
make for liberty up Jaffa Road..
Priests dressed In black and wear
ing strange hats and long hair;
people gaily decked in bright purple
trousers with gold braid and silver
lace upon their coats and a mena
cing looking scimitar dangling from
the side: the chief rabbi of the
Sephardim. Jews who were expel
led from Spain five centuries ago.
Two donkey drivers start a fight.
At first It is with fists, then it is
with teeth. Often they wind up
with stones. A crowd gathers, Arabs
with Tarbushes. fellaheen with
flowing cloaks, Polish Jews with
side curls. A British policeman ap
proaches. That ends Uie fight. The
crowd disperses.
With a sack on his back comes
Mosheh, who believes hielf to be
a Messiah. Once he had a large
following. Women came to him. He
prayed for them and they had
children. He foretold a great flood.
He foretold many things, most .of
which did not occur.
And there stand the wall and the
gate which were set up a tnouund
years ago; huge massive stones.
Beyond are the hills of Judea. For
nine months each year the sky Is
cloudless, a Mediterranean sky, but
bluer than Naples, more serentf
than any sky in tha West.

KIT BY LOSSES
New York (LP) The stock market
went through another series of ner
vous gyrations Wednesday with

ranged to 3 points in the general
list, and more than 20 points in
special Issues. The heaviest loser
was J. I. Case, which touched 305
on news of a lagging demand for
farm equipment. Further bearish
steel reviews brought U. S. Steel
down and other pivotal shares fol
lowed it. Practically all the lead

close.
In ths early trading a firm tone
was exhibited in many sections, a
carry over of the short covering
which marked the late trading Tues
day. For a time railroad shares were

up 1 to 2 points. This rise failed
to carry through, however, and its
hesitation helped bring out selling
in other parts of the list.
Copper snares weakened following
drcstic break of more than 8
points to a new low in Calumet
and Arizona, which touched 52. The
company cut its dividend to $2 an
nually against tns rate of $6 paid

Britain, celebrated his 68th birth
day at his home here. It was
quiet celebration, for Sir John to
still recuperating from an illness
contracted last winter.
Sir John is reputed to bs the
wealthiest man in Britain, worth
about 5100,000,000. Yet he Is so
modest he occupies only one inch
of space in Who's Who.
He was born at the historical
port of Hull but upset the town's
traditions by choosing an account
ant's ctool in preference to a sail
or's berth. He still considers him
self an accountant and dotes on
figures. It is even said he reads s
ledger with as much pleasure as s
newspaper.
Like many big financiers, he Is
a disciple of the "hush-hush
school of business. Wily reporters
have never tricked him into giving
interviews or statements. His em
ployes have orders not to divulge
any information concerning him to
newspapermen.
Sir John is interested In shipping,
breweries and many industrial tn
terprises. He ranks third in the
world as an owner of shipping ton
