JDTTER MART
REMAINS FIRM
ALONG COAST
Portland (IP Continued strength
s reported for butter on the lo
cal market for the day with a sim
ilar condition reflected generally
along the Pacific slope. Advances
lately made In the California trade,
together with a liberal Increase In
the demand from there, gave the
local market a chance to clean up.
- General situation In the egg trade
continues firm with no further
change In the price list. Extras are
still generally listed at 33 cents
dozen by local co-ops. Retailers
are not taking to the so-called
"specials" on account of the state
law.
General trading in the live chick,
en market continues of rather firm
character. Prices are well held for
all offerings. A few dressed hen
turkeys are arriving and selling
rapidly at 28 cents pound.
Market for fancy quality light
weight calves Is continued on a
strong basis at the late advance to
14 cents for tops. Hogs are Just
about steady. Fairly active tone
Is showing for top quality lambs.
A local broker holding practically
the only supply of California Elberta
peaches on the track here, forced
the price up to 85 cents box but
buyers were very wary because of
the lack of consuming call for Cal
if ornian.
, Quality cantaloupes are finding a
food movement at late prices. Some
ordinary sluir Drougni Dy trues irom
the Dlllard section was offering
around $1.25 crate compared with
sales of the Initial supply of graded
stock at M-S crate.
Situation is somewhat Improved
m the market for Bartlett pears
at leading Pacific northwest sources.
Wtlh the shorter crop In all sec
tions than previously forecast, due
to the heated period, buying op
erations have gained materially and
prices stiffened.
With the latest "overnmerlt es
timate Indicating a cut of around
31 per cent in the onion crop of
the United States compared with
a year ago, the market at primary
points Is getting a red-hot affair.
Local trade firmer.
Tomato market Is firmer with
local slock srarceed.
Wapato tomatoes are being offer
ed down to tl lug.
Potato market Is a trifle quiet
with little carload movement.
Lettuce deal continues strong at
full prices.
Celery markets remains firm and
active for shipping.
Rather fair movement of local
apples at late prices.

ACTIVE SELLING
PUTS EXCHANGE
LIST DOWNWARD
New York (IP) A wave of selling
of equal Intensity to the wave of
buying late Tuesday swept over the
stock market in the last half hour
Wednesday and turned the whole
list definitely downward.
V. According to preliminary calcula
tions the Dow, Jones and Co., in
dustrial average declined 2:66 points
to 137.60, rail average declined .72
points to 70.06 and utility average
was off .60 point at 56 Jo.
Sales totaled 1,300,000 shares com
pared with 1,600,000 shares Tues
day.
Just as there was no definite
reason for Tuesday's rapid rise,
there was no tangible item which
would cause selling Wednesday.
During the greater part of the
session the list moved back and
forth without definite trend. For
a time in the late afternoon a fair
rally was staged under the lead of
U. 8. 8teel which readied 90.
Trading turned active on the de
cline after lagging along at a 1924
pace in earlier transactions.
In the late selling Steel was driven
down more than 2 points from its
ntgn, and net losses of 1 to 4 points
were recorded in Westinghouse Elec
tric, Case. Eastman Kodak, Mont'
gomery Ward, American and Por-
ign Power. Auburn Auto, Allied
Chemical Consolidated Oas, Electric
Power and Light, American Can.
American Telephone, General Elec
tric, Anaconda, Chrysler, National
Biscuit and Dupont
Railroads ran Into selling pres
sure again with New York Central
and Union Pacific breaking 2 points
each. Pennsylvania was down
point. The decline in this group
was a cause of unsettlement of the
whole list In the day, Just as steadi
ness in carriers Tuesday brought
the shorts into a frame of mind
where they covered commitments.
There was no perceptible change
In business sentiment as mirrored
in the weekly barometers. The steel
industry was believed to be scrap
ing bottom by many observers.
Car loadings rose 15,541 cars for
the latest week leporting, the week
ended Aug. 1, but the figure was
162,488 cars under the correspond
ing period of 1930.
Electric power output was down
2.9 per cent from a year ago for
the week ended Aug. 8. copper
stocks rose 63,896,000 pounds over
June 30 for July 31.
Crude oil productions rose 54,900
barrels dally in the United States
as a result of record flow In Texas.
Gasoline stocks declined 861,000
barrels.
A long list about a score of
regular dividends were declared. No
reductions or omissions were record
ed Wednesday up to the close of
the market.
Other markets followed the trend
of the big board. Cotton dipped
again, prices coming near the lows
of Monday. Grains firmed up.
Bonds were firmer.
San Francisco tlP) Early prices
on the San Francisco stock exchxnge
displayed a slightly mixed trend on
limited volume, cnanges from then
previous losses were for the most
part fractional. Sales took place
in 20 Issues. Of these, five showed
gains, 8 losses, with the remaining
seven unchanged.
Trans-America opened unchanged
at 7, and settled on limited vol
ume to 6, off .

LABISH ONIONS
Lablsh Center An upward move
ment has occured In the onion
price lor the growers at the La
bush district due to the ureat
snortage in other localities. The
greatest shortage during the past
ten years has been reported in
other great onion districts and
California, usually a heavy onion
producing state, has a very small
yield per acre, which will help the
Oregon market to a great extent.
A number oi buyers have been in
the locality visiting the various
onion acreages during the past
week and a number of cars have
already been contracted for a dol
lar and sacks and a better market
Is expected in the near future due
to the extreme heat which has Urn

sed the belief to San Angelo Stan

than it has ever seen. He also finds
the co-operative marketing plan a
very satisfactory system and be
lieves that eventually the plan for!
handling mohair cooperatively will
be effective with the goat man '

ference with members of the Mar

'getting acquainted" as they said,
and outlining some of the plans of
the department with which county
inspection forces could cooperate,
especially the new move to meet
federal requirements in the handling
of prunes,
Gehlhar told court members of
the plans for keeping an eye on
driers to assist in cleaning up brown
rot and of the cooperation desired
from the Inspector in this district.
Other phases of Inspection work
were also fouched on, the meeting
being more in the nature of getting
together for cooperative work, it was
stated, than anything else. The state
visitors asked for no extra funds,
explained court members, which
made the meeting a little different
than most of such conferences calWd

Washington, (P) The agriculture
department in a preliminary esti
mate Wednesday placed the carry-over
of domestic wheat on July

28.529.000 bushels.
The estimates include stocks of
wheat, stored by mills for other

timates prior to 1930 and there
fore were not exactly comparable
with estimates in years preceding
1930.
