Newspaper Page Textf AUK TKN iHK CArTa JUUKaiAL, SALIiM, UKEUUN TUESDAY, AUGUST 19, 1930 STRONGER EGG PRICES SHOWN; BUTTER STEADY Portland (U Stiffening of egg prices Is again shown with local co-ops leading the established ad vance. The latest advance appears the result of bettered conditions In the trade generally, together with the decreasing supply of fresh goods. There have been previous talks of advances but most of them ap peared simply as a bluff to get competitors to quote the rise while tney grabbed the trade at old values. Well maintained position is shown In the butter trade with no change In the price of cubes or prints for the day. The scramble for top quality butter continues. It took the advance of a cent a pound to create interest In the cheese trade. The advance of Mon day was followed by a keen desire to take hold before further advances are forced. There remains a lack of gen eral price change here In the chick en market situation. Demand is steady in all lines with strength most apparent In the light weight broilers. Carload of Rogue river Bartlett pears Is due In Portland according to the Pacific Fruit Co. Buyers of Hood River stock have been unable to secure them as the association Is precooling. With only a few carloads avail able, and then In scattered lots, the Walla Walla onion deal shows general price advances. In fact the deal Is almost over and It took an advance to find sufficient for carloads. Low price of lamb Is causing re tailers to stock up more noerany. Bales of top lambs are Indicated around 14 cents, demand for ewes is much Increased. Yakima reports Concord type grapes beginning to appear. Potato market is stronger In all northwest positions. Nectarines are around $2 box for red and $1.50 for white according to the West Coast Produce Co. Lettuce market Is firmer. About 35 cents crate higher. Citrus fruits are unchanged. Corn market Is again higher with shortage of quality stuff. Tomato market Is firm at late idvanccs. Peaches are steady for locals. Cal ifornia Lovells in big supply. Celery market is weak. DROUTH RELIEF BOARD APPOINTED (Continued from page 1) lzed to receive emergency freight rate relief. I Additional counties will be added to the emergency list, Hyde revealed in discussing the project to move livestock out of affected areas and to move feed into the drouth dis tricts, . County agents are authorized to certify feed shipments for the 50 per cent freight rate reduction Agents will be responsible for seeing that the farmer obtains benefit of Vie reduced rates, Hyde said. When Jealers handling reduced rate feed are found to be charging excessive retail prices, the secretary explaind, the county agent would be expected to withdraw his reduced rate certifi cate. Chairman Legge at the farm board has recommended the ship ment of cattle from the central Montana drouth area to states south and east where feed is abund ant Relief for beef producers general ly must be obtained he believes, by moving stock. Dairymen, however, can afford to ship feed in topro Vide for their stock. First Intimation regarding the quantity of wheat owned by the grain stabilization corporation, a farm board subsidiary, was given by Legge after a conference with form er Governor Harry F. Byrd, chair man of Virginia's drought commit tee, Byrd proposed that the farm board should dispose of its 75.000, 000 bushels of wheat to stockmen. Legge said the estimate was too high, that the board's wheat hold ings were between 60,000,000 and 05,000,000.

STOlSlfAIN MOST OF EARLY GAINS TUESDAY New York (LP) The stock market rose during the major portion of the session Tuesday with declining ten dencies at the opening and near the close. The majority of Issues, how ever, held part of earlier gains of 1 to 4 points, and only a email num ber registered losses. Sales for the day totalled 1.801,790 shares, against 1,413,610 shares Monday. The Dow, Jones & Co. industrial overage (preliminary calculation) rose 3.10 points to 230.89 and the railroad average rose 0.29 to 128.88. Trading was about a half million shares above Monday's pace, al- uiougn still relatively quiet. During the course 01 the advance in progress from the end of the first hour until within a half hour or so o fthe close, steel reached 167, up 2 after touching 163. Other piv otal shares followed. Special Issues like Case, Eastman Kodak and Al lied Chemical made wider gains. Ra dio Corporation was very active at higher prices on pool operations. Amusements, utilities, oils and some of the rails were in demand most of the day. The early advance was inspired by reports from business leaders of a turn ahead and expectations of an increase in Steel operations. When the latter failed to material ize, some selling came into the mar ket, but the retreat that occurred was orderly and further short sel ling was absent. Short covering was brought out to some extent on the rise and for a time it was rather brisk. The decline in Steel operations was a surprise in some quarters where an increase had been looked for. Operations for the industry were at 54 per cent of capacity, the smallest since the week ended July 7 when it was at 48 per cent due to Independence day shut down: a week ago the industry was at SG per cent and two weeks ago 58 per cent. The Steel corporation Tuesday was reported at approxi mately 62 per cent, against between 62 and 63 per cent a week ago. "I believe that just as soon as much of the products on the mar ket at present are disposed of, the general business depression will better itself. Curtailment in output without a question will correct the present condition in a short time." Another statement giving reas- urance to bullish forces was that by Harvey Firestone in which he was quoted as saying business in general has reached its lowest mark and Is definitely on an upward trend.

I believe that the public should know about such matters before these rights are disposed ot.

NO BREAK IN DEADLOCK ON PEAR PRICES Much ox the Rogue river pear crop now being picked and placed in storage pending a higher market for canning pears will remain in storage and later be shipped east for fresh sale for what the growers can get for It If the present dead lock between growers and canners around Medford persists, it is said by canners here who have been buy ing or attempting to buy in that market. Most of the canneries here report their needs for pears to fill booked orders filled and assert that they are not booking further orders until they are certain of the price they will have to pay for fruit because of low prices quoted for business of fered. The prices they are quoting to the growers are low, the canners admit, but claim that It is all the canned goods market will justify. While they admit that there has been some fruit bought at the $32.50 price reported from - Medford the canners say this business has been small In vojume and does not re flect the general tone prevailing. Locally the pear crop has prac tically all been purchased at $25 a ton or lower. PROTEST COPCO POWER FILINGS Protests from the state fish commission and from the Douglas county court against the applica tions of the California-Oregon Power company for power rights on the North Umpqua river in Douglas county were received Tuesday by state Engineer Luper. The fish commission protest, signed by Hugh C. Mitchell, direc tor of hatcheries, declares the pro posed development would be detri mental to fish propagation. The county court avers that it would interfere with the construction of the North. Umpqua-Dlamond Lake highway by forcing the route of the highway to the hills and away from water level. Construction of the highwuy as planned, It Is claimed, would mean heavy traf fic from both east and west of the Cascade mountains and mean mil lions of dollars to the district. The protest is signed by Counts Judge M. S. Hamilton and Com missioners Huron W. Clough and R. A. Busenbark. NO ACTIVITY IN PRUNE MARKET Until such time as there Is a higher tone to the market for canned prunes and a stronger note In the dried prune situation grow ers cannot look for much Improve ment In the general prune situa tion, in the opinion of most of the canners here. They see little pros pect of an advance in the price for green fruit for canning, sales of which have been made as low as $15 a ton. Canners report that the only in quiry for prunes of late has been at prices too low to be considered and blame that condition upon re ports of a large crop In California. "There Is no sign that the dried market will be anything but low and the canners cannot be expected to load up on fruit at a higher pro portionate price than dried prunes will bring," one large buyer here said Tuesday. Scab conditions which were caus ing some worry a few weeks ago are reported greatly Improved, and it is said that the fruit is sizing up bet ter than was at first indicated, some placing the average increase In sizes at 10 per cent.

Confronted with a letter asking Zuta for $400, Free man admitted borrowing that amount from the vice overlord. He said he offered to repay the money. but never did. Investigators called in John Craig. city editor of the News, and he identified" his signature on an un cancelled check, for $50. Craig told of being accompanied by Zuta when he wanted a check cashed at an inn. "After a month or so I noticed the check did not come through the bank, so I in quired about it from Zuta. 1 Craig related. "He said the matter was all right I replied I did not do business 4n that way, and 1 gave him the cash. I asked him for my check and he said he had torn it up. investigators said they had been told by the bank on which the check was drawn that Craig had never had an account there. He explained, the account was in his wlfes name and the bank honored checks he signed. POLICE CHIEFS LOAN The evidence placed before Free man was a letter written on sta tionery of the Evans too police de partment. It follows; "Dear Jack: "I am temporarily In need of four 'C's' for a couple of months. Can you let me have it? The bear er does not know what It is, so put it in an envelope and seal it and address it to me. "Your old pal, . "Bill Freeman." "P. 8. Let you know the night of the party, so be sure and come." Charles F. Rathbun, special as sistant state's attorney appointed to investigate the slaying of Jack Lingle, Tribune reporter, said Chief Freeman admitted the signature was his although he could not remem ber writing the letter. Freeman remembered getting the requested loan, however, not long after he became head of the Evan- ston police force.

He said he attempted to get money from a "big man In Chicago" and that this man Introduced him to Zuta who later gave him the money. MONEY NEVER REPAID Tlie police chief went to Zuta some time later, he told Rathbun. and offered to pay him $175 but the gangster said "never mind, Freeman quoted Zuta as saying, "Chief, you seem to be poor, wait a while and get it all together." Freeman told the assistant prose cutor the money never was repaid, but he said "Zuta never got any favors from me in his life, nor did he ever ask for any.'

When accused of perjury, he defentded himhelf by saying he acted upon Whitney's or ders during previous trials, but that he is not Under Whitney's power any more, and "is telling the truth." Government counsel came to Hubbard's aid when the defense at tack became so hot that the former 'go-between" lost some of his com posure. For the mwt part, however. tne caustic remarks of the defense left Hubbard smilingly at ease. Big guns of the defense are A. R. Hilen, ettorney for Lyle, and Charles P. Moriarty. attorney for Whitney. All attempts to shake Hubbard's testimony failed, but defense coun sel seeemeed content to obtain the admission that he had perjured himself in previous trials. He was cross-examined on most of the statements he made during the prosecution's questioning, and it ap peared that he may continue on the stand through Tuesday and most of Wednesday before the defense concludes its attack. When Hubbard is finally dis missed from the witness stand, af ter the government iff given an op portunity to help him recover what ever ground he may have lost to the defense, Roy Olmstead will go on as the second government witness.
