THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON Tuesday, February 3, 1931 JGF TEN BUTTER STRONG FAT ADVANCES TURKEYS FIRM Portland IP Portland continues to reflect more trength for butter than any of the leading markets of the country. This is due to sev eral conditions, chief among them being the greater demand occasioned by the opening of logging camps to gether with the attempt to bar oleomargarine- by both Oregon and shlngton by taxes. Advance of one cent scored for cube butter on the produce exchange for the week's Initial session was therefore not out of line with con ditions ruling In the open market. Extras were advanced to 29 cents on the exchange. Trade In the egg market Is still very quiet with more or less con tinued price shading by outsiders. The local co-ops continue to main tain their price list. Attempt is being made by some killers to break the price of chick ens here In order to fill their bat teries with low-cost goods. How ever, receivers here report as yet no change In the price. Very keen demand Is showing In the market for dressed turkeys. Very good shipping call is shown with buyers offering 31-33 cents for Ho. 1 toms according to size. Sale here are at the latter mark. Very weak situation is reflected tn the market for potatoes at pri mary points. Yakima Is Invading the far southern sector in compe tition with Idaho, resulting In a further price decline. Market for hothouse rhubarb ahows practically no price change with Sumner reporting a carlot demand to the east and to Los An geles. Quality is not up to the average. There Is much choice grade. Heavy supplies of Columbia river sturgeon are being offered here with the price down to 21-22 cents pound generally. Steelheads are quoted around the same level. Spring Chinook In better supply around 30 cents with head on. Trade In the apple market at primary points is slower. Reports Indicate fairly liberal holdings of Bpltzenbergs at Hood River. A short time ago word was passed that none were to be had there. Green-yellow varieties very slow. Lemons are down 25 cents case; an unexpected cut. Orange market Is considered steady. Demand for veal Is firm with best at 15 cents pound heavy at 10-11 cents. Country killed lamb is firm with ft general top of 15 cents pound. Old mutton Is firmer and higher ftt 7-9 cents pound. Cheese market Is more active at late prices. There Is a small supply of fresh crabs arriving. MILES LINEN MILL TAKING UP STOCK News announced at the recent an. nual meeting of the Miles Linen eompany that 850,000 worth of pre ferred stock of that concern would be taken up soon was becoming a formal fact Tuesday whtn notices were being sent to each stockholder calling in the 6tock. The stock Is held In blocks of (500 or multiples. While a dividend was paid on com mon stock of the mill last year, It probably will not be this year with the earnings being used to retire the preferred stock. Retirement of the preferred stock will leave outstanding only the $200,000 common slock issue which Is held by some local holders and the Barbour Flax Spinning Co., of Paterson, N. J.

It Is estimated that all told there are but 750 tons of Italians left In the northwest and 250 tons of pe- tltes. with virtually all of these be ing In Douglas county. Tin last sizeable lot in the Salem section, the Horst lot In Polk county of 75 tons, was sold a few days since at around $4.60 on 40s with the lot running to 4014 size. An intensive drive of buyers was made in Douglas county not lori ago when there was a big pickup of stock from down there. Prunes have been moving out steadily more or less since the har vest with now and then a slump. Moving out of the Oregon crop has been having a cood effect on the California market, according to reports down there and a stiiiemnir in the situation there Is said to have resulted. GOVERNOR PLEADS FOR STATE POLICE (Continued from race 1 law will be fostered, which is sadly lacking under present conditions." Commenting further upon the advantages he professes to see In the state police system Governor Meier said that "the law Is es pecially diirncd to furnish protec tion to rural communities where crime, particularly theft of fnrm animals and farm produce has be come prevalent because of the vnt ly increased use of autoinrblles on our highways. "Under the proposed system, en forcement of the prohibition law will be strengthened brcause there will be available for this work every member of ft large staff of trained men thoroughly equipped and skilled In the detection of crime and the collection of evi dence. "It la not Intended that the state police force aliall usurp any of the authority of sheriffs or local po lice departments, but that thcy sliall provide expert assistance ami cooperation whenever requested to do so in the enforcement of crim inal laws." Governor Meier made no refer ence to when It could be expected Uiat reductions in the present cost of enforcing the laws whlfh the state police would be authori?rd and Instructed to enforce would be effected, but pointed out that the bill would transfer to the po lice department the estimated sums needed for the police activities of the traffic and prohibition depart ments, the fish and game commis sions and the state fire marshall for the next biennlum, without re ductions.

STOCK MARKET MOVES WITHIN New York (IP) The stock market Tuesday moved uncertainly In a narrow ranee through the early part of the session and then staged a rally at the close to end the day irregularly higher. According to preliminary calcula tion the Dow, Jones and Co., In dustrial average advanced 1.07 points to 169.88, and the railroad average 28 to 108.54. Sales totaled 1,200,000 shares, compared with 1,200,000 shares Mon day. U. S. Steel fluctuated over an arc of less than a point, but It held well throughout the day and led the late rally In the Industrial division. N. Y. C. was the favorite In the rails. Amusement shares were firm throughout the day with Radlo-Kelth-Orpheum, Paramount, Fox and Loews in demand. In the past few minutes of trad ing a block of 12.000 shares of War ner Brothers came out at up 4. This was the signal for fur ther buying In the issue and It mov ed toward the 18 level. According to rumors in the street, negotia tions are being conducted by Hadio-Ketth-Orpheum to take over War ner Bros. Issues with small floating supplies of stock such as Worthlngton Pump and Auburn were again whirled up. Auburn came near Its high for the year and held a fair amount of grain, while Worthinston made ft new high for the year. Vulcan Detinnlng also made a wide gain. Utilities firmed up late after early easiness. Rails were mixed with the majority up. Coppers held steady despite reduction In brass products into line with 9H cent copper metal. Oils were dull. 10 OREGON COUNTIES GET DROUGHT AID! The Dalles, Ore. (LP) Ten Oregon counties, all In the wheat and live stock area, will be considered by Secretary of Agriculture Arthur M.

Moller, Seattle, and Olaf Webstad, the crew of the power launch Vertex cleared the mystery that had caused wide spec ulation and excitement along the coast all day Monday. Captain Moller explained his launch left Seattle last week and caught fire Monday morning, forc ing him and the mate to abandon the ship In a small dory. The Ver tex sank. STOCK FEEDING SALVATION OF GRAINGROWERS Portland UP) An extensive live stock feeding program is held out as the salvation of grain growers of the Pacific northwest by George S. Milnor, president of the Grain Stabilisation corporation, and vice president and general manager of the Farmers' National Grain cor poration, and C. E. Huff, president of the corporation. The alternative Is reduced acre age. The two men spent five hours here Monday in ft series of hasty conferences and left during the af ternoon for San Francisco to open up the newest branch office of the corporation. Milnor said: "Oregon, Washing ton and Idaho do not raise nearly the quantity of pork needed for their consumption, while their wheat is a drug on the market. "By raising more livestock, there by increasing the consumption of grain, wheat growers will keep the wealth in this area and will help to stabilize their own markets and solve their own problems." He was asked if there was an al ternative. "Yes," he said. "Decrease the acreage to cut down production." He explained the matter further: "The Pacific northwest produces a. burdensome surplus of wheat, while It does not produce its con sumption requirements of livestock, particularly hogs. Recent experi ments have demonstrated the prac ticability of feeding wheat to hogs, sheep and cattle. Thus has been shown the advisibllity of the Pa cific northwest growers greatly to Increase the raising and feeding of livestock which probably will be the greatest possible outlet for the sur plus of wheat now evident here." "There Is one man In eastern Oregon," Milnor said, "by the name of Kettle, who has 1,600 hogs which he has fed wheat and mill-feed, thereby realizing approximately one dollar a bushel on his grain, com pared to the 68 cent price set by the stabilization corporation as the minimum price, and 54 cents quoted at Vancouver, B. C." Milnor said the present minimum price structure of 68 cents for the Pacific northwest will be main tained for the balance of the year's crop. The price may, of course, go higher, he said, in view of possible crop failures, reduced spring acreage or one or more of the other possible Influences. Several weak spots appeared. Hud son dropped on Its earnings report. St. Louis-San Francisco and Chica go, Rock Island and Pacific were weak on expectation of dividend re ductions. U. S. Industrial Alcohol broke on estimates earnings would equal only $3 per share, against more than $12 ft share In 1029. Cotton at New York was firm. The position of other commodities was not as satisfactory. Silver went down on Chinese selling, making new lows In New York and London. Lead prices made new lows for many years. Copper was in light demand at 914 cents for domestic shipment. Earnings reports were generally about In line with expectations. Standard Oil of Kansas reported only $1.19 a share, against $4.73 earned in 1929, which accounted for the dividend reduction Monday. Un ion Pacific made a good showing with $15.16 a share earned, against $20.36 in 1929. Youngstown Sheet and Tube earned only $5.17 In 1930 against $17 28 in 1929. Call money held at l'i per cent all day. PROPOSE CHANGES IN FISHING LAWS One member of the Oregon fish commission of three members must be an actual resident of one of the counties bordering on the Pacific lying south of Clatsop county, under provisions of a measure introduced in the house Tuesday by Repre sentative Wlnslow. Commercial fishing In the tide waters of Nestucea bay and Its tri butaries during October and No vember of each year would also be allowed by Wlnslow, whose name appears on bill to this effect. The bill would make It lawful to fish with set nets and drift nets below the bridge across the Big Nestucea river jit Woods, In Tillamook county, and below ft point one half mile above the bridge over the Little Nestucea river on the Roose velt highway during the two fall (onstipated?

T SELLERS FORCED TO BUY Chicago (LP) Unlimited short cov ering disclosed ft heavily oversold wheat and corn market on the board of trade Tuesday and prices advance d slowly but steadily throughout the session. Stop loss or ders appeared. The dry, warm wea ther over the winter wheat belt was the major factor, making shorts uneasy. There was nothing In the news to account for Die bulge In com, but the strength In wheat was contageous, oats too, advanced sharply for the day. At the close old wheat was i to cent higher and new 1V4 to 1 6-8 cents up, corn was lVj-154 cents higher and oats to cent high er. Provisions were steady to slight ly weak. Chicago (IP) Grains advanced early Thursday, stimulated by per sistent lack of moisture throughout the winter and spring wheat belt, and by unseasonable warmth. France reported unfavorable condi tions for new wheat, with seed rot ted owing to prolonged wet weather and Argentina also complained of excessive rains. Starting unchanged to 3-8 higher, wheat afterward scored material gains. Corn opened 3-8 off to up and subsequently rose all around. TREES PLANTED AS EXPERIMENT The move to put in an experi mental planting of cherry trees of small Italian cherries here as being worked out between Senator McNary and Walter Stolz for eventual larg er plantings of these trees in the valley, has its cons as well as Its pros, according to a local cherry grower who commented on the plan. "There Is no question that there is quite a demand for these little Italian cherries packed in maras chino," etated the grower. "These cherries will run about a thousand to a half gallon as compared to around about 200 to a half gallon for our big Royal Anne product from the Willamette valley. Chain stores and drug stores where soda fountains are installed want the small cherry as they stick one on top of their ice cream dishes and It makes quite a difference to them whether they get the thousand or the 200 in the half gallon can. As a result they want the little Italian cherry in many cases. But on the other hand it Is go ing to work a heavy hardship out here the way I view It. In the first place the picking will be quite an item. These little runty cherries can be picked so cheaply in Italy we can't compete with it. In addition it will mean installation of plenty of new handling equipment as this little cherry will slip right through the pitters used on our cherries. At any rate, It will be a pioneering pro position and take several years be fore it can be of any material im portance here. But if large plantings finally are made, I can see where there will be a number of difficul ties on the road ahead." MEIER ASKS FOR STATE POLICE FORCE (Continued from page 1) fleers to enforce the fish law, $300, 000 from the game protection fund for officers to enforce the game laws: $100,000 from the general fund for the enforcement of prohibition laws; $552,000 from state highway funds for traffic law enforcement, and $60,000 from slate fire marshal's fund for work of officers detailed as fire marshals. Except in such cases as the gover and state superintendent of police might consent to, the departments thus deprived of police functions would be prohibited from employ ing anyone to do work of a police nature. In its organization structure the plan proposed for the department Is an adaptation of the state police laws, under which the Canadian Royal Mounted rorce, the Texas Rangers, and tlie state police of New Jersey and Pensylvania operate, ac cording to the sponsors for the measure. The superintendent, named and removable by the governor, would be the active head of the department at a salary of $5000 a year, and he would appoint a deputy superin tendent at ft salary of $3(100 a year. Both would be required to give bonds in the amount of $20,000. The dep uty would possess all of the pow ers of and perform the duties of tlie superintendent in the absence of the latter.

Phone 41 PUT AT 45, FOR THE COAST The usual mld-wlnter dullness prevailed In Pacific Coast hop mar kets during January, and the vol ume of trading for the month was considerably below that for the previous three months. Aitnougn demand was not active, the firm holding policy of growers tended to maintain values at around 1S 16c per pound, net to growers, ac cording to quality and origin, or approximately the same as those prevailing in December, according to the federal crop reporting ser vice at Portland. Careful trade estimates of the hop holdings on the Pacific Coast at the end of January, Indicate that less than 45,000 bales of all growths, remain in first hands. There has been an unusually don cleanup of the 1930 crop, only around 25,550 bales remaining in growers hands, distributed as fol lows: Washington, 4,300 bares; Oregon 10,178 bales; and California, 11,074 bales. Less than 20.000 bales of old hops are left In first hands in the three states. Growers generally have shown little Interest this season In new term contracts, although offers have been made from time to time. Of considerable Interest, therefore, is the reported sirrnlng, within the past few days, of two five-year term contracts, one at Karrtsburg, Oregon, and another at Eugene, Oregon starting with the 1932 crop, at 17c net to grower. These eon tracts are reported made for a Lon don account. Exports of hops from the United States during December totaled 2.139 000 pounds, valued at $355, 000.00. Imports for the same month were 253,975 pounds, valued ftt $:4,950.00. Exports since July 1, 1030 total 4.300.000 pounds, and for the year 1930 total 7,641.000 pounds. Exports for 1929 totaled 7,677,000 pounds, or about the same as in 1030, although the U. S. production for 1930 was estimated at 21.720.000 pounds, compared with 33,220,000 pounds In 1929. .MOTION DAY IN CIRCUIT COURT Circuit Judge Hill held motion day In his department of court Tuesday as the start of virtually a solid calendar of work here for the ballance of the week.
