Newspaper Page TextPAGE TKN THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 19:10 BUTTER PRICE MAINTAINED TO MOVE STORAG Portland (LP) Absence of change In the price of butter here was not due to any steadiness in the general undertone of the trade. The Jack of change on the produce ex change appeared due mostly to the anxiety of those in control to allow continued sales of storage butter. There was practically no change In the local egg market situation for the day. Manager Dixon of the Pacific Co-ops reported his or ganization maintaining recent val ues. Pullet stock, however, remains weak. Generally steardy tone continues reflected in the market for live chickens here. Prices are unchang ed. Demand for turkeys is in ex cess of current offerings around 30 cents for live birds. Trade in country killed calves is Just about steady here. Bulk of top quality weights are reported Belling 17-17!.. cents with a few 18 cents pound. Others are inclined a trifle easier with a general top of 15 'a cents pound. Quite liberal volume of scles Is confirmed in the market for coun try killed lambs. Most sales of top stuff are around 13-13'i cents pound. Beef market is overloaded with canners around 6 cents and cutters 8 cents pound. Bulls around ft dime. Lack of willingness on the part of Oregon-Washington cranberry growers to name an opening price that will compete with the eastern market for western business Is keep ing the trace within narrow limits. Borne fears are expressed that in termountain business will go east. Very quiet trade Is reported in the market for potatoes at Pacific northwest primary points. Digging Is just getting started at Yakima and while there is no special de mand, growers are not offering. There is almost a lifeless trad ing tone in onions at Pacific north west points. Yakima Is offering around 25-30 cents net to growers with few takers even at that. How ever, there is no extensive offerings at the moment. Orange market continues firm but limited at late advances. Cantaloupes arc about steady with fair movement. Tomatoes are moving out well within Uie recent price range. Huckleberries are very slow with some price shading. Demand for cauliflower is gain ing but only in the local field. Slight advance is .shown for hall- but reports Oregon Fish Co. Storms Jn the north. Fresh prunes arc showing a fair movement. CONSUMPTION OF NUTS GAINS During the past 10 years the con sumption of nuts in the United States has been increasing. Pro duction has increased also but net so much as consumption, says th? California Fruit News. According ly, imports of nuts have been in creasing and during the five year period from 1D25 to 1929 inclusive, imports of nuts into the United States weie double the quantity of the five year period 1910 to 1914.H During the same tune the produc tion of the principal commercial ruts In the United States increased tn the aggregate almost 90 per rent. The Increases in domestic pro duction for individual nuts have been: Pen nuts, 75 por cent; wal nuts, 173 per cent; almonds. 41)5 per cent. The principal sources of nuts imported into the United States arc: France. Italy, Rumania find China, for walnuts; Spain and Italy, for almonds; China, for pea nuts; and Spain, Italy and Turkey, filberts. A very large proportion of imported almond-, and walnuts come in the shelled form. Salem Markets Compiled from reports of Sa lem dealer, for the guidance of Capital Journal readers. (Revised dally).

HAMBURG MARKET FOR PRUNES QUIET During August the Hamburg prune market v.rus very quiet, al though prices were considered low and attractive to buyers, according to Assistant Agricultural Commis sioner Dawson at Berlin, as re ported in the Calitornia Fruit News. The prices dropped to lcw er levels In September but demand was Hot stimulated. French small sized prunes were being offered materially bflow the California prune prices for the same eia.s of prunes. This is due to the large French crop. In London a steady demand ruled for ail sizes of Cali fornia prunes, with little change in prices, according to cabled ad vices of September 8 from Agricul tural Co'imiissioiuT Foley. Stocks are light, especially in large sizes. New crop prices were steady with: little buisiness at existing levels but a firmer market was antici pated. At Liverpool the improved mar ket was maintained for all sizes. with prices steady. New crop quo tations were firm but easier for smaller sizes. The London Dried Fruit Trade association places Lon don stocks of prunes on August 31 at fellows; French 50 pound boxes. 6; Serbia, none; American 25 pound boxes, 59.772; Cape 25 pound boxes. 11,177. Total stocks in short tons on that dat? stood nt 889 against 943 and C8I in 1929 1928, respectively. and TK.M 111: AT PR AT CM Miss Ethel McDowell, 1930 grad uate of Willamette university, is the new primary teacher In Pratum school.

WHEAT SCORES SHARP UPTURN; CLOSES HIGHER Chicago (LP) Showing a decided ly strong tone throughout the ses sion, grains closed sharply higher on the board of trade Tuesday. The unexpected strength at Liver pool was the chief Influence. There were many fluctuations during the day and the market waa easily in fluenced, but the advance was held very well. Weakness in the stock market near the close caused a re action in the grains. Corn and oats were firm. At the close wheat was Vt to 1 cent higher, corn was l:i4 to SH cents higher and oats were -t to 1 cent higher. rPovisions were un even, lower on moats and higher on lards. Chicago OP) Unlooked for sharp upturns of wheat quotations at Liverpool met with quick response here Tuesday. Liverpool reported pursuit? w am ixu.ssmn aim Canadian wheat abroad. Opening to 1 cents higher, Chicago wheat future contracts afterward fluctuated nervously, but held near to the initial range. Corn started 1 to 2 cents up and subsequently reacted somewhat. Winnipeg, Man. f A Bounding from rockbottom levels wheat gain ed substantially at the start Tues day. Advances of more than two cents a bushel were made when ac tive exports sent prices ahead In extremely active trading. Gains rangd from one to two and eigth cents. E IS WELL ALONG Turner Harvesting of the prune crop is nearing completion with a large part of the fruit going un picked. Estimates are that possibly third of the prunes have been saved with prices considerably belov normal with few bids. One grower reports about 20 tons dried out of a possible seventy tons, the balance left on the ground. Several of those operating driers have complained that the fruit is dry in out to light er weight this year than ordinarily. This is perhaps due to the fact that the ripe fruit has been excessively juicy, so much so that mounds of Jelly-like dried juice accumulated under the stacks of drying trays and necessitated frequent cleanig of the floors of the driers. With cooler weather coming on and quite heavy frosts having al ready appeared, householders arc looking to their woodpiles with add ed interest and the sound of wood saws is heard at various intervale An abundance of wood in the vi cinity of Turner makes it compar atively easy to obtain winter fuel. SWEET CLOVER CROP SMALLER Production of sweet clover sned in the United States is expected to be at least 40 percent smaller than last year. According to reports received by the U. S. bureau of agricultural economics from about 600 growers and shippers, acreage saved for seed was much smaller than last year in the majority of the heavy producing sections. On the other hand, yield per acre was expected to show a slight increase. Prices to growers were slightly lower than last year. The quality of the seed is expected to be slightly inferior to ;:iat of last year. The potential acreage of sweet clover has been on the increase for several years but relatively low 6eed prices for thi: past three years have not appealed to growers and they have preferred to put much of the crop to other uses such as for pas ture or turning under for green manure. On account of the drought this summer, hay and pasture were the shortest hi years so that a much greater proportion of the crop than usual was put up for hay. In gen eral growing conditions were almost i as lavorable as lat year but stands were thinner mainly because of t he i dry weather in the fall of 1929. Growth was less rank in some sec tions, because of the drought, and maturity was earlier. Apparently heavy winds caused less loss from shattering than latt year. Nearly ut)t) growers in me uni:ea 1 States, whose aggregate acreage harvested for seed this cat amounted to 4S73 acres, reported yields per acre which averaged about 275 pounds or about 10 percent more than lait year. .

Prohibition Ruling Provides Outlet for Grapes In California San Francisco (UP) Joyous Italian anas raiitf Tues day through the San Joaquin and the Valley of the Moon and every other sunny expanse now turning dark with ripening grapes. Hanging upon the vines in these valleys and hillsides, there are approximately 121,800,000 gal lons of choice wme and legal! Jut a few drops less than a gallon for every person In the United States at $1 or less a gallon. As translated Tuesday by high figures in the grape industry, the recent ruling of national prohibi tion director, W. W. Woodcock has opened the doors to deliverance from the spectre of bootleg and over-production of California's tremendous grape crop. Woodcock's decision, it is joyoas- ly claimed by vineyardists, means that there is no legal way to stop the sale of grapejuice that will turn into good, pure table wine by th: simple expedient of "carelessly omitting to cork the bottles. A cooperative marketing organiza tion is being formed, it was said, and plans being made to distribute a high grade of juice, potentially a sweet pure wine, at $1 a gallon or thereabouls. Two grape juice plants, one at Fresno, heart of the industry, and one several miles away, have been renovated and are ready to turn out a record run, it is further claim ed. As an indication of the stagger ing blow the situation has poten tially in store for the bootlegger, the California crop of wine grapes, it is estimated, will amount to 450,000 tons. This comes to 67,000,000 gal lons. But to make a Niagara of an already rushing stream, there will probably be 420,000 tons of table grapes produced this year 53,000,- ooo gallons more. The catch is this: wine grapes are inferior for table use, but there never was a table grape that wasn't as good as the best of wine stock. A distressed industry, under guid ance of its Uncle Sam in the guise of the federal grape control board, was talking last week about leaving 100,000 tons or more of grapes to die on the vines and create an arti ficial shortage. That sort of talk has been abandoned for the present, and growers are thinking about that 100,000 tons in terms of 6,000.000 gallons several millions of dollars gross for what had a few days ago been regarded as sacrificial stock. Until such a time, if ever, as a dampener comes in the shape of a new federal order invalidating the Woodcock decision, growers arc ex citedly planning to place lots of bot tled juice in every grocery store in the country and let the consumers' consciences guide them. Washington (LP) Extension of government aid to the marketing of California grapes suitable for wine-making contains no menace to prohibition enforcement, in the opinion of Chairman Lcgge of the federal farm boani. On the contrary, Legge said, en forcement would be assisted, since control of grape marketing in one agency would make it easier for prohibition forces to check the uses to which the fruit was put. He said it also would remove the problem of a surplus and the con sequent unloading of cheap grapes to bootleggers. Commenting on the board's spon sorship of an agency to divert sur plus production into 31 by-products, including grapejuice, Lcgge said the board had received no protests from prohibition sources. Neither have there been any protests against the board's exten sion of financial aid to Fruit In dustries Inc., and other grape co operatives, he added. STOCK EXCHANGE FIRM SUSPENDED New York (LP) The stock ex change firm of J. A.

Failure of the firm of J. A. Sisto and Co., announced from the ros- trom of the exchange in the after. noon caused an avalanche of un loading just at a time when the list had steadied from an early bear drive. This is the first major failure since the market crashed a year ago, and It brought excited trading into tne market. Traders threw their stocks over board. Prices crashed 1 to 10 points. Sisto sponsored shares gave way first and then the whole litt on the curb and stock exchange followed Tickers were hard pressed to keep pace. The Sisto company did a banking and brokerage business in New York City. Among the issues which the company has been connected in the past year are Parmalee Transporta tion, Checker Cab, Hygrade Food Products Co., Sisto Financial cor poration, Cuneo Press, National Rubber Machinery. These shares broke sharply. In connection with Checker Cab sponsorship by Sisto, Morris Markin, president of the Checker Cab Co., stated that J. A, Sisto and Co., have not been bankers for the company for several months. After the Sisto suspension by the stock exchange, similar action was taken by the curb exchange and Philadelphia stock exchange. The Sisto failure surprised even more than action of American Can directors in declaring an extra di vidend of $1. Despite a sharp recovery in wheat, J. I. Case crashed nearly 10 points to a new low for the year. Other wide losers included Worthington Pump, Diamond Match, Allied Chemical, and several others which ; were down 5 to 10 points. I Among the new lows Tuesday were Goodyear, Pullman, Simmons, Warner Bios., Amreican Loeomo - tive, Inspiration, Anaconda, Kenne- cott Granby, International Tele- : phone, united Corporation, Atlan tic Refining, Sinclair, Texas Corpo ration, Standard of New Jersey, In ternational Harvester, United Air craft, Packard, and General Motors. Bad news broke for the coppers. Prices of the metal were reduced to 10c a pound domestic and 10:30 cents expert, the lowest in this cen tury. Wire companies immediately reduced their prices to conform with the new cshedules. In the last few minutes the mar ket showed a steadier tone, slightly above the lows of the day. U. S. Steel which had touched 155'.8 firm ed up fractionally and other leaders behaved similarly. It closed at 155',-, off Warner Brothers, the principal bear target in the amusements, came back slightly. Oils recovered only a small amount of early losses that sent all of them to new lows. Call money held at 2 percent all day. CALIFORNIA OIL Tulsa, Okia.

LABISH BRIDGE APPROCH SINKS DURING FILLING Possibility that the connecting link on the Million Dollar highway in the Labish country may not be 0ened to traffic at all the coming winter was scented by the county court on an inspection trip Monday afternoon which revealed that the long 300 foot approach to the new 1800-foot trestle bridge is sinking and inspection failed to reveal whether there is any bottom to the sinking or what may be the result of the difficulty. It was iound that the big ap proach had settled over 20 inches inside of two days. The fill is now 10 feet high for the 300 feet and filling in will continue for a time to see what results are, but if the sinking continues the work may be called off. Attention also will be di rected to drainage around the fill so if the drainage pipes underneath which were put in to care for the water, have sunk out of connection along with the fill, steps may be taken to prevent a backwater on the lake the coming winter. Where the fill crosses the old : channel in the lake the sinking j seems to be worse, the ground be ing much softer at that point. The dropping of the fill is caused by I the extremely soft texture of the bcaverdam land over which it if. being built. The original plan of the court was to extend the trestle over this 300 feet or making a trestle about 2100 feet in all, but a property owner in the vicinity objected to the extended trestle and the fill was attempted. Before the fill was started a hea vy corduroy base of logs was put down with the hope that it would hold the fill as it was put on, but evidently the great weight of the dirt has shoved down the corduroy base and the bcaverdam land is be ing squashed out at the sides as the new dirt goes on. LARGE PRUNES CONTINUE FIRM Prunes in California continue easy in the small size but steady in the big sizes, which are going tob e in comparatively small sup ply, says the California Fruit News. Reports fro mthe Pacific nonhv.ct. in Oregon and Washington Italians, indicate material reduction from ! lie earlier estimates owing to some re cent rain damage and the p:en:'K; lack of inclination of growr-'s th"io to harvest and dry their fruit under 'the low prices and lack of demand. Tho.se grower.i, on the other hand. who did not have ro muh dir.ir.!?e from cracked prunes and br-wn rot, are taking more intcrc t in the pos sible future under llv reduced ton nage prospect and feme who re ported indecision as to drying and storing their prunes awaiting a bet ter market, will now do so. Just how much less than the caille esti mates of 25,000 to 30,000 loir, i 'li the Pacific northwestern drkd prune output the situation will eventually turn out to show is dif ficult to guess at at the moment. One estimator close to the situation figures that when the present un certainty clears away some, It will be found that the Pacilic northwest prune crop will turn out clcse to 20,000 tons. Others are tak.r.g less and it does not seem likely that there will be any more than that. In the meatime some operators in Italian primes are not quoting ''.-m-porarily and are awaiting the clear ing of the situation a little. RENOMINATED FOR GOVERNOR 'Continued from paste D Hcans all the sympathy they can I Set from tne administration of I President Hoover." He derided the republican platform declaration on unemployment and said that a friend gave him a pocket piece, on one side of which was the inscrip tion "Hoover's Lucky Piece'' mid on the other side "Four Years of Prosperity." lie told his friend, he said, he could not accept it because it he ever tried to deposit it in a bank he might go to jail. The unemployment plank in the republican platform of last week was the same as the one they ncilop'.cd two years aco, the former governor declared. When Mr. Smith announced lite next topic as "prohibition" the audi ence laughed. The republican plank would 'knock the spots off the leopard.' he said. "Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde haven't got a thing on them," he said. "The republican platform provides for a repeal of the 18th amendment when, if" Rnd Mr. Smith paused while the crowd laughed. "L?t me speak now of the man." the former governor said of Gov ernor Roosevelt. "No man worked harder for the government than th l man Franklin D.

T.ie democratic prohibition plsr.k : S- ! "The democracy of New York state ha.s consistently opposed na tional prohibition as un-American productive of widespread disres- i pect for law end a prolific source I J of corruption, hypocrisy, crime and ; disorder. The republican party which is responsible for these de plorable conditions, now attempts at this late date to deceive the people by a hypocritical disclaimer of its former principles." The plank advocates restoration to the states of the right to con trol t:ie manufacture and trans portation of liquor within their boundaries and pledges upon re peal of the eighteenth amendment the adoption of such regulatory mtasures in the state of New York as will promote temperance, ban i.h the saloon and recognize the principle of home rule in all lo calities. In another plank the democrat condemn the Hoover administra tion and hold republican rule re sponsible for the business depres sion. "One far reaching cause of the calamity," says the platform, "was the continued and unwarranted en couragement of speculation by re publican administrations in Wash ington. This appalling nation-wide economic depression folkows ten years of republican rule, Just as every other major financial de pression since 1873 had occured after republican administrations or by reason of republican law." The convention Monday night htard an address by John W. Da vis, permanent chairman and de mocratic presidential nominee in 1924, who denounced the Smoot Hawley tariff, he charged, was a measure calculated to increase the cost of living at home, keep for eign customers away and stifle our foreign trade. POET AND LOVER TAKES OWN LIFE j Los Angeles (LP) Robert Carroll Pew. heir of a wealthy Honolulu I family, was driven to suicide by a j tropical romance that had lost its glamor and the realization that his ; chosen career as a poet had failed. Thete circumstances were advanc ed by police as Pew's motives for raising a cup of poison in salute to 22-y?ar-old Helen Kim, the Korean girl lie once loved, and falling dead I at her feet. "Carroll had drunk too deeply of the cup of life," said Helen, a grad uate of the University of Southern California, in relating the 37-year-o'.d poet's dramatic death. "I be lieve he still loved desperately the wife lie divorced. He was alwayi talking of his little boy and girl, and his heart must have been breaking with regret. "He phoned me last week that he was (roine to kill himself. He had wanted to go to the South seas, where he 1-new of a 'valley of the virgins.' but he had to find work here. He could only obtain a job on a flood control, doing manual labor that blistered his hands and he lost it because he wasn't strong: enough. "He told me his mother, who is in Oakland visiting his sister, had refund to help him and again spoke o: ending it all. He telephoned his mother and told her to 'watch the headlines." " Police believed this call explained a ttk'juam Mrs. Pew found in the son's pockets, "you wouldn't treat Hie children and me that way." The girl, reputedly the daughter of a wealthy Honolulu farmer, was reticent about her affair with the white man. They met, she said, in Honolulu a few months ago but their friendship was "always pla tonic." She cam? to Los Angeles and he followed her on the next boat. He spent much of his time visiting the eirl at hsr apartment here, and it was in the tiny living room that he drank the fatal poison. In the apartment was found a thick book of his poems, scores of them, and on three or four were names of publications that had pur chased them, indicating only a few had found a market.
