BUTTERFAT AND
BUTTER STEADY
POULTRY FIRM
Portland (IP) Very little change
la noted In the general butter mar
ket situation. Price are about stea
dy in general and especially so for
the better scores. Make of butter In
Portland shows a fractional decrease
for the week while country offerings
here are showing an increase that
more than makes up for this defi
ciency. Butterfat values are steady to
firm.
Milk prices are not entirely uni
form despite the agreement to abide
by certain selling values to retailers.
Reports in the trade Indicate more
or less secret shading. Independent
operators report getting plenty of
milk from the country.
Market for eggs continues to re
flect strength with decreasing sup
plies and well maintained values.
Considerable storage stock is being
marketed as fresh goods.
Prices continue to show strength
all through the live chicken trade
with no further changes for the day.
Demand is best for lightweight
broilers, which are very scarce.
Quality light weight country
killed calves are moving out well
with prices well sustained here. Hogs
are a trifle slow and lambs are Just
about holding at late values.
With growers refusing to do busi
ness, there Is no activity confirmed
in new crop onion contracts here.
Latest offers of 11.10 cental and
lacks net to growers are being gen
erally refused. Walla Walla very
firm.
There is no change In the potato
trade. Speculative Interest is missing
in carlot shipping points. Locally
the bulk of the trade Is being sup
plied with home grown but some
are ottering wo. jramma giowm.
There was no change In the gen.
eral peach situation here for the
day. Yakima Elbertas are moving
out well at late prices but some out
of the Lewiston. section, less wen
colored, are dragging somewhat. J.
H. Hales are meeting with favor;
isi the Mulrs and eaily Crawfords.
Another truck load of Ashland El
bertas was reported In.
Somewhat firmer trading tone Is
reflected, for head lettuce with an
acute shortage of offerings and es
pecially quality stuff. Prices arc
firm to nigner in spois.
Medium to small oranges are
slightly higher. No other changes In
Citrus fruits.
Watermelon market Is a trifle
slow at late prices. Huckleberries
show a fair movement around 14c lb.
Fancy Chinook salmon Is 16c lb.,
others down to 12c.
Celery market Is steady locally,
outside call fair.
Cheese sales are gaining at late
prices.
DELICIOUS FREAK
ON COTTAGE FARM
a fivnk fruit to which no hortl
cultural expert has yet sccceded in
giving a name Is grown in the mid
dle of an Italian prune orchard on
the state cottage farm. It is ue
liclous to the taste and has the bp
pearance of a cross between a large
grape and a prune, and Is especially
delectable because It Is without
seed.
Dr. R. E. Lee Stelner. superinten
dent of the state hospital, said that
when tile tree was planted IS years
ago It was supposed to be an ltai
lan prune tree and was planted
along with the rest of the trees ol
that variety. But since the tree
came Into bearing It has always
born the freak fruit.
Fruit men whose addition has
been called to the fruit are gained.

PICTURE GAY TIME

(Continued from page 1
girl scroti m as if in pain.
Then the following morning, Rl
bas told J. Edward Lumbard, an as
sistant United States attorney, Fu
timura was mis&ing from his cabin.
Ribus had made a sketch aboard
of the Japanese importer, a mar
rlcd man whose family resides al !
Norwnlk, Conn. Rihns said he call-'
ed at the cabin at 7 a. m. the morn-1
ins the boat docked from its "show
boat cruise''. Fijimum was gone.
He has not been reported seen since.
The tory the sketch artist told
to the assistant district attorney
varied widely from that reported
told by the beautiful blonde show
girl. She had been quoted as say
ing she last saw Fujimura at din
ner the ninht before the ship docked.
It was a gay circle in which Fu
jimura and the show girl moved
aboard the VP3S?1, passengers told
the Investipntora. There was poker
for high stakes, it was said and Fu
jimura was a regular attendant at
thtse poker games.
Mm. Reisner moved In the gay
dancing and social set, the passen
gers said. She was popular with
the men of her own race on the
vessel. There was considerable
drinking engaged In by Mrs. Reis
ner and Fujimura but neither was
ever seen intoxicated, passengers
said.
POKKR STAKES 11IC.II
The night before the boat dock
ed, according to Ralph Melanl, one
of the entertainers. Fujimura en
gaged in a "heavy" poker game.
Rlbas, telling of his attempt to
deliver the portrait the morning
after he had heard severe quarrel
ing In Fujimiira's apartment, said:
"I went to the cabin about 7 a. m.
and the Japanese had not been in
his room. I returned about two
hours later and left the sketch In
the stateroom."
When I hp boat docked that
morning there mas no trace of the
un porter.
With only two solutions to the
mystery murder or suicide inves
tigators aotikht for possible mo
tives for self -destruction and found
none, it was argued that if Fuji
mura had contemplated suicide he
would not have taken his seven
year old dauchtrr on tl trip.
On the other hand, the possibility
o murder suggested itself strong
for several possible motives re
venge, racial hatred, or Jealousy,

THE PAST WEEK
Boston 1P The commercial Bul
letin will say Saturday:
"Business has slowed down con
siderably this past week but while
it seems especially slow In contrast
with other recent weeks tt Is not
less active than usual at this time
of the year; In fact. It may be
slightly more active; There is a
moderate movement In wool still,
especially In the fine and fine med
ium top making types. Prices are
steady, with medium and low wools
firm. Woolen wools still are slow.
"Demand, evidently baa slacken
ed appreciably In the goods market.
Openings of tropical worsteds and
flannels for the next lightweight
season have been made at prices
which clearly indicate a disposition
to get volume buslnes, so far as a
low price will tend to secure It, For
the moment, however, buyers are
withholding their business In these
lines.
"The foreign markets are slow
and rather easier in tendency
again, In conseqence of the dullness
and the declining tendency In other
textile raw materials.
"Mohair continues slow with
semi -occasional sale of kid hair for
specialty purposes at unchanged
rates."
The Bulletin also will publish the
following quotations:

Jefferson Threshing will soon be
finished in this locality. Farmers
report that the grain Is falling be
low the average yield In some
places. A tract of 69 acres of Rosen
rye on the George Terhune farm
3 miles north of town produced a
good crop, which averaged 184 bu
shels to the acre.
The hay crop Is short this year.
During the early haying season a
good share of the crop was spoiled
by the rains and when the late hay
could be cut a good portion of It
was too ripe.
The early potatoes were an aver
age crop. The yield of the late po
tatoes depend largely on fall rains.
The dry weather shortened the
season and the strawberry and
raspberry crop was light in this
district. In spite of the low price
paid for evergreens, W. F. Gatchell
of Swift & Co reports that more
berries were brought in during the
time he bought berries than last
year. On account of no rain the
berries dried up quickly.
Thlessen and Grens finished
picking their early hops Wednes
day and the crop Is reported to be
light. The later hops are above the
average.
Toe peach crop Is light in this
district. The prune crop varies. In
some orchards there is a good yield
while others are scant. The R. C.
Thomas orchard near town, con
taining about 250 acres of prunes,
of which the greater part is young
trees will produce a good yield. The
Looney and Allen orchard 3 miles
west of town will produce around
60 per cent of a full crop. The J.
A. Jones prune orchard at Dever. 6
miles west of here, is so heavily-
loaded with fruit that many of the
trees are breaking down.
The walnut crop Is reported to
oe gooa.
PAYROLLS REDUCED
37 PERCENT BY CRASH

said the reports Indicated the great
anthracite coal fields of Pennsyl
vania, the bituminous coal industry
of West Virginia and Kentucky, and
the oil fields of Oklahoma. Texas
and California have lowered wage
payments as much as manufactur
ers of New England and the middle
west.
In June, the last month of record,
aggregate payrolls for the Pennsyl
vania anthracite mines reporting to
the labor department had fallen
more than 33 percent below the 1929
average. Government statisticians
also pointed to a 47 percent decrease
in the aggregate payroll of the bi
tuminous coal fields, compared with
the 1939 average.
On the same comparisons, the la
bor department's payroll average
showed a 37 percent drop for the
reporting crude petroleum producing
companies. Considerable reductions
in axgregate payrolls were recorded
in metallferous mining, quarrying
and the canning and preserving in
dustries. I'TILITIKS HOLD VP
Industries which have maintained
payroll levels were listed by the la
bor department as telephone and
telegraph, power and light and
hotels.
During the first six montlu of this
year, 1436 wage cuts by individual
manufacturing concerns were volun
tarily reported to the labor depart
ment, averaging 10 percent each.
More firms In the lumber indus
try reported reductions than In any
other Industrial group, A total of
287 lumber manufacturing estab
lishments reported decreases In
w Rites. The iron and steel industry
reported 348 reductions and the
textile h rot id 245.
Department officials emphasized
that these statistics must oe re
garded as merely Indicating a trend,
and only represented wage decreas
es among the 14.000 odd manufac-
turlng concerns with which the de
partment Is In regular correspond
ence.

WHEATVALUES
Chicago (LP) Heavy liquidation In
September corn toward the close on
the board of trade Saturday broke
that delivery to a new low for the
season and carried the other deliv
eries off with It as well as causing
wheat to re-act from Its firm posi
tion. The finish was very tame after
the early show of strength and all
grains were lower, although having
resisted pressure most of the day
with success. Oats followed the high
grains slowly in a dull session .
At the close wheat was M to 3-8
cent lower, corn to Ji cent off
and oats V. cent lower to It cent

WHEAT EXPORT FOR
YEAR 15,000,000
Portland (IP) Pacific northwest
wheat exports since January 1 have
totalled 15.000.00d bushels, Henry
W. Collins, general manager of the
Pacific coast division of the Farm'
ers- National Grain corporation
said Wednesday.
Collins expected 4.000.000 bushels
more to move during the next 60
days.
Because of exports and a light
crop this year, total northwest
holdings this fall will be only .
000.000 bushels above normal, be
believed.
Ex-Chicagoan Has
Good Yield of Wheat
Scio An average of about 25 bu
shels of wheat and about twice that
amount of oats per acre was thresh
ed at the Joe Patrny farm a few
miles east of Scio. Twenty-one
years ago Patrny brought his fam
ily from Chicago and located on
his present farm. Increased yields
from the land under proper care
have rewarded the owner during all
these years, and that In spite of the
fact that farming in this country
was entirely new to Patrny. Other
crops tn addition to small grains
and a variety of fruits have yielded
weu on tne rairoj farm.
STOCK MARKET
HARD HIT WHEN
SHARES DUMPED
New York (IP) A deluge of sell
ing brought stock market prices
down 1 to 10 points In the last
half hour of trading Friday. A
slight recovery followed, near the
close.
Sales In the last M minutes
amounted to 600.000 shares, against
200,000 In the corresponding period
Thursday. This spurt of activity
brought the day's total to 1,300,000
shares, against 1,100.000 Thursday
The Dow-Jones averages prelim
inary calculation) were: Industrial
138.64, off 3.29; railroad 88.03, on
1.02; and utility 66.95, off 1.26, all
new lows since August 10.
Dumping of thousands of shares
of Chrysler, Case, General Motors
and United Corporation touched off
the decline which was carried fur
ther by bearish operations.
Trading picked up in volume un
til the high speed tickers were run
ning behind the market. Volume
slowed up near the close on the
mild recovery.
The Immediate cause of the sud
den turn was fear the English gov
ernment would fall In the process
of budget balancing. This brought
a weak close In the London market.
Predictions of lower automobile
company business In the third quar
ter set off the selling in the motor
shares.
Before the decline was arrested
steel had broken to 87 '4, off 3l4
from the previous close; American
Can 91 'V off 2V; J. I. Case 59, off
5-; Allied Chemical lll'i, off 4Vi;

Western Union 110i, off 9; Auburn
Auto 121, off V-i; Consolidated Gas
82, off 3; and Westinglumse
Electric 62, off 2.
Steel shares met heavy selling in
the break which was explained as
follows by Dow, Jones and Co.:
"Trading developed activity on
the downside on news that the prin
cipal steel producers were consid
ering steps to place wage cuts of
10 to 15 per cent into effect In the
near future. Wall Street has rec
ognized that the wage problem re
mains to be solved, and this situ
ation has been regarded as a final
major factor confronting the mar
ket." The oil shares ran Into selling
with the general list Friday after
featuring on the upside in recent
sessions.
Despite the merger rumors, con
fidence In the rapid conclusion of
the Sinclair merger Into what the
street has called Commonwealth
Petroleum Corporation waa Jolted
by a statement by the president
of Tide Water Associated Oil Co., In
which he said his company would
not enter unless terms were met.
The feature of the late drop was
the turnover In Chrysler.
General Motors came out In
blocks of 1,000 to 7500 shares break
ing to 35, off a point.
Closing prices were fractionally
above the lows.

KNSSHT FORCED
TO QUIT CO-OP
Kansas City, Mo. (IP) A year of
bitter dissension In the Equity
Union Grain company, a farmers'
cooperative with 20,000 members,
had resulted Friday in the resigna
tion of J. J. Knight,, secretary
treasurer and general manager.
It was reported 17 other officials
of the company In Kansas City,
Dodne City, Omaha and McCook,
NNfb., had agreed to quit with
Knight. His resignation becomes
efM-tive August 31.
Controversy In the organization
began when Knight objected to ita
absorption by the Farmers' Na
tional Grain corporation, farm
board agency. Trouble came again
when Knight successfully resisted
the farm board's efforts to allot
territory In which various coopera
tives could get members. Sam Mc
Kelvie, then on the farm board,
wanted the Equity Union to con
fine act ivities to Kansas, Instead
of operating in Nebraska, Kansas
and Colorado.
More trouble can;? over Knight's
activities in the market.
Until last April Knight served on
the board of directors ol the farm
ers' national.
Dirrctors of Equity Union are
Edward Travis, Imperial, Neb
president; John X. Cordeal, Mc
Cook. Neb.; J. O. Hendricks, Sei
bert, Colo.; C. C. Douglas, Good
land, Kan., and Knight.
The organization operates 130
elevators. Last year it handled 9,
000 cars of wheat.
It was believed Knight's fol
lowers might form a new coopera
tive. MAYOR LOSES

No statement has been made by
Ten Brook since the action but it
Is understood that his followers are
laying plans for a political upheaval
The reason for the mayor's dis
charge, as given by the port of
ficials, Is that he could not function
as mayor and a port employe at
the same time. His duties as mayor
have consisted of welcoming a few
conventions and attending a coun
cil meeting two nights a month.
The balance of his time he has de
voted to the port.
The motion to dismiss the mayor
was said to have been made at a
secret meeting of the port commis
sion, by Ira Miller, cashier of a local
bank. According to the Astorlan
Budget, local evening newspaper,
Miller and his father-in-law, A. O.
