fAUfi fUUKTliltlJN BUTTER PRICES YET MIXED UP; EGGS STEADY rortliiij iP) So ujjui complaints are being made regarding the un willingness of the Portland produce exchange to follow supply and de mand In the butter trade that Its quotations are no longer generally accepted as a market factor. With practically all of the sales of cubes on the open market from S to Pi cent pound under the es tablished prices on the produce ex change the situation here la be coming more or less desperate to country creameries who are forced to pay the price established here for butterfat. While there was no open change In the price of eggs for the day. some business continues to be done at shaded figures. Undertone of the market appears a trifle easier. While the trade In general In clines to the Idea that only medium hens are scarce, one buyer went out with an advance of one cent for lights which was Immediately followed by other operators. Quite heavy sales of cranberries continue to be made in the local trade with both northwest and eastern stock participating. Some very poor locals as well as very poor eastern stock offering. Good demand for cauliflower continues In the local trade with earlot buying held around 65 cents crate for ones although some other cash buying for northwest ship ment la reported at 70-75 cents crate. Topheavy appearance Is continued in the market for celery. Shipping business Is at a minimum owing to congestion of supplies In the mid west and east. Rejected cars are being sold at extremely low figures. Last of the season's fresh halibut Is now arriving here from northern waters. The trade Is getting quite a supply and prices are down to 20 cents for medium. There Is every promise of an acute shortage of native or Olympian oy sters here for the com lag holiday. In fact a shortage Is apparent all along the coast. Transplanted or large stock Is In ample supply. Country killed lambs are cleanup but are slower. Dressed hogs arc fairly steady as are veal of quality. Chinook salmon Is scarce around 18 cents with a scarcity of silvers at 14 cents pound. Crabs are very scarce. Sharp advance In the price of California artichokes Is confirmed. Only nominal supply here. The regular California steamer with vegetable specialties, was late In arriving. Good demand continues for hot house tomatoes and cucumbers at recent advances.

The suspects, taken in raids on Isolated hideouts, will be paraded before victims of holdups Friday In an effort to obtain lurther Identifi cation. Police said narcotics were found In the apartments raided. They said they had Information the gang members held regular meet ings and maintained an arsenal for use In crimes plotted.

I I Chicago (IP) Tht federal govern- I merit has taken steps to prevent the present wheat price levels from dropping lower although g further decline in domestic prices appears unwarranted, George 8. Milnor, president of the grain stabilization corporation, said Friday. "Although the stocks of wheat shown in the visible supply are large." Milnor said, "there is no congestion In any of the terminal markets and farm stocks of the grain are decreasing rapidly owing to heavy feeding, therefore hedging pressure Is negligible and a further decline In domestic prices seems un warranted." With wheat selling at the lowest price in 25 years, flour prices fully reflecting those of wheat and with bread lower than for many years, the consumer Is receiving the full benefits of complete deflation, he said. "As the grain stabilization cor poration has taken steps to prevent lurther decline In wheat prices, it may be assumed that consumers of wheat products, with reasonable safety, may make purchases lor their seasonable requirements, thus pro tecting themselves against such ad vances in the market as might come through many underlying factors." The advances might cone, it was explained, through such factors as greater bread consumption, suosti tutlon of wheat for corn In live stock feeding, huge losses to corn and forage by drought, reduced acreage sown to wheat and many hazards through which the growing crop must pass before it can be harvested. The Stabilization corporation, af filiated with the federal farm board, recently pegged the price of De cember wheat on the Chicago ex change at about 75 cents a bushel. purchasing all grain offered at that price. CHICAGO GRAIN CLOSES HIGHER Chicago fP Wheat Friday rose to nearly 6 cents a bushel above the low prices current November 10. Absence of unusual pressure to sell was an outstanding factor, rather than buying urgency. It was esti mated export purchases of Canadi an wheat have totaled upward of 3,500,000 bushels since Monday and there were Intimations Russian grain vessel charters might be can celled or utilized for substitution of ore. Wheat closed unsettled to Vi cents a bushel higher than Thurs day's finish. Corn closed to H cent up with oats 14 cents advanc ed. Under scattered selling, provi sions eased in the late trading, and closed unchanged to 7 cents lower. Chicago JP) Substantial new up turns In wheat values took place early Friday following a fresh ad vance of cent In bids on the part of farm board allies. Rust reports from Argentina were also a bmlish factor and so, too, were statements from the grain stabilization cor poration that consumers mny now safely purchase their seasonable re quirements. Opening i-" cent higher Chicago wheat future de liveries showed additional gains lat er. Corn started unchanged to lb cent up and subsequently held near to tne opening figures. 3 DAIRY CO-OPS EFFECT MERGER Portland U?, Three leading dairy associations of the PaciTic co.isi, with a membership of about 70.000 producing dairymen, doing an an nual business of about $10,000.

FRENCH SOOTHSAYER PREDICTS NEW WAR Paris (IP) Madame Frays., sooth sayer who predicted a World war in 1914 and announced that the French would stop the Germans at the Marne three days before the battle, declared today France would again defeat Germany in another World mar which will start in Po land "a few years from now,' 'Germany,' she explained, has entered into an era of disorder and anarchy, evidently very menacing for France. I do not believe, how ever, that France is in Immediate danger. Germany will weaken her self in internal fights which will in crease her poverty and unemploy ment. "The conflict, In which Poland will be tlie first victim, appear to me to be several years distant. It will, however, generalize itself quickly and all of our NfW Europe will become involved. France mil I fight and I do not see her beaten." I Turning from tlie poi.ticnl to economic rending of the future, . Madame Fray a sa'd that the gen eral world depression would eon tinue six or eight months. MRS.

There was considerable Irregul arity In the first hour and tor a time the market appeared to be on the verse of another reaction. The bull forces conquered and forced shorts to cover. The late move in the railroads followed group advances In the mo tors, motor equipments, mercantile shares, harvester shares and chemi cals. Leading Industrials made new highs on the movement headed by U. S. Steel and Westinghouse Elec tric. The move In rails was stimulated by several factors, the most lm prtant bHiig an analysis by Dow Jones and Co saying that the roads in the linl quarur should make a much better showing in net oper ating income, as compared w Uh last year than they d:d in the first nine month. Declaration of the regular divi dend on Guif Mobile and North t-rn preferred helped. Prospects of other carriers maintaining dividends at the present rates were considered brighter. B. and O. which will share in the $50 extra by Cincinnati, New earlier in the week, soardrd nr-arly Orleans and Texac Pacific declared 7 points. Atchison rose more than 4 point, N. Y. C. 6: New Haven nearly 3 and Pennsylvania nearly 3, while gains ranging above a point were made by others of the group. Trading volume was small in the early trading but It increased. The sudden spurt In rails stilt shorts scurrying to cover and turnover in creased in this division. Another feature of th? day was a concerted rise In various clocks whose companies center aiound the Chicago area. The harvester issues made large gains, esprciaily Case which at one time was up 5 point.'.. Chrysler was a feature In the motors where General Motors. Studebakcr, Overland, Yellow Truck, and Mack Trucks partici pated in the advance. Several large blocks appeared on the tape during the course of the trading. They included 15.000 chrv- sler at 20, up H; 5.3ifl Yellow Truck at 12, up i ; 13,500 Petroleum Corporation of American at 1 0 1 . unchanged and 10,000 Aviation Cor poration at 4. up i. BmwIs firmed up with the ex ception of the German iss-ies which were held back by indication of a moratorium In the making for 1931. Wheat gained In all marker and other grains were higher at Chkago. Cotton held a few points dewn. Call money held at 2 per cent. MIS THREATENS SPECIAL SESSION (Continued from page 1 tion to matters which are either in conierrnce or on the senate calen dar.'' Norris explained he preferred particularly to the bills to permit government operation of Muscle Shoals, to restrict injunction pow ers or the courts, and lor unem ployment relief and to his resolu tion to abolish such short sessions of congress as this one." "I am axnious,' he continued, "to Rive the senate an opportunity to reeleem party pledges. If the admin istration will withdraw Its opposition we will do it. If these bills are not acted upon it may be necoesary to force action by special session which jean easily be done. The machine re- pubiicans who hitherto have block ed the resolution to end short or ;amc duck sessions may have to take a bitter does of their own medicine." Norris said the only constructive program before congress was that offered by the progressives and in effect his statement was a chal- ne.e to President Hoover to con tinue opposition to those bills. Nor ris outlined 24 years of concurrent legislative work which had brought tiiree of the projects to the present stage. The anti-injunction bill rep resents two years work; Muscle Shoals has been pending 12 years; , ana tne snort resolution is now in its tenth year, having been passed by the senate five times but never accepted by the house. On Its last appearance In tlie house, Norris said the approved sen ate resolution had been kept for 10 months on the desk of Speaker Long worth. OFFICIAL COUNT . .

TRUTH IN MEAT BILL FAVORED Range cattle men In Oregon favor proposed legislation tltat will permit the grading and marking of meats according to the "truth in meats' plan sponsored by O. M. Plummer, secretary of the Pacific Internation al Livestock exposition and member of the national meat board, eays Dr. W. H. Lytle, state veterinarian. "There is a complaint by many of the range breeders who raise only well-bred beef animals that they do not realize the true worth of their produce because they are forced to compete with dairy cow beef that Is sold in many shops," Lytle said. He said that Oregon State college has conducted an educational cam paign for the instruction ol house wives in the selection of meats. While this has done something to ward insuring a more just return to producer, Dr. LHle said, the fact that most meats are ordered by tele phone causes much dairy cow meat to reach the consumer's table un less top prices are paid. "It is planned to enact legisla- Won," he said, "that will optionally permit tho.se slaughterers of meat who choose to employ a board-approved veterinarian to health m- j bpect the meat and stamp it, and hiw gratie una sia:i:p u su iijul me quaUty will be shown.' AHY ADOPTS ROBBER TIRES Washington "J") The rumble of artillery caissons on steel-rimmed wheels probably will be replaced by the swish of rubber tires on con crete roads in any future war, tt appeared from the annual report of Maj. Gen. Harry O. Bishop, chief of army artillery. Describing the new and revolu tionary developments in artillery since World war days. Bishop said the army, during the past year, had built and tested two super-modem '5 mm. gun mounts. Both are cap able of all around and aerial fire. Also, both have pneumatic tires, anti-friction bearings and sprung carriages. Plans are being made for a sim ilar gun in the 155 mm.-8 inch howitzer class. It will have a ped estal type mount and will be cap able oi elevations between 0 de Rrees and 65 degrees and of traver sing 30 degrees on either side of the center. Further, it will be cap able of Kointr into and out of posi tion quickly. weighing- o.uuu pounds less than the present 155 mm. gun used by the army, it will be able to cross lighter bridges in safety. Other modern additions to army artillery during the past year have been caterpillar tractors for two motorized divisional field artillery units and 24 four-wheel-drive cargo trucks, Bishop said.
