It was agreed to ad vance the price on undergrades lc In the hope of forcing some nearby creameries to advance their quota tions to chain stores and other large buyers. Market for eggs continues to gain strength but considerable of the late advance In tome markets of the country Is reported due to specula tive Interest forcing fresh eggs to an artificial height to drag greater profits on storage. Local co-ops named an advance of lc for stand ards and mediums. Quite keen demand Is showing for hens In the live chicken trade with the greatest call for medium and heavyweight stuff. Prices are firm to higher. Lights are unchanged. Springer stuff Is weak. There Is a very good and unfilled all for dressed young torn turkeys but old hens and old toms are in clined to show more or less dullness Mid even weakness. The country ap pears willing to Mil. There Is a somewhat better feel ing in the market for country killed calves, with more sales at the top. Hogs are steady and lambs are firm. Very weak market Is reported gen erally for potatoes both at the source and at Jobbing points, Deschutes as well as Yakima stork Is now being consigned on smnll advances for digging expense. There Is practically no activity In the market for onions. Primary sales are limited with growers determined to force an advance while buyers arc not freely offering previous prices. Consuming demand is now limited. With eastern stock being widely advertised throughout the country with the exception of Portland, there remains a very quiet tone for un advertised Oregon -Washing on stock of cranberries. Portland Is consum ing most of the sales. Half carload of green broccoli Is being rolled unsold east in an effort to create a market for a burdensome surplus here. Small oranges, mostly the 288s, are up 25c case. Carload of Pasco lettuce, first of the season, Is here and Is quoted mostly $2.50 crate for Iced stock. Most of the local apples stiles arc around 40-50c box. Imperial valley grapefruit Is due the last of the week. Fancy quality tprouts are moving fairly well $1 box. Huckleberries are dragging at recent low prices. BAPTISM DEBATE WON KINGSLEY A dispute between two mlnlr.crs persuaded James KlngMcy, con demnrd gunman, to read the Bible.

HOOVER AND LAVAL TO TALK FINANCE (Continued from page 1) them most of the world's gold, are in a position of special responsi bility. Many officials In Washington realize that revision of war debts must come to the front In any sueh dprussion. The United Stntes has urjred the yardslick of 'ability pay'' in deal ing with these obligations, and that yardstick again will be used by Mr. Hoover when he talks with M. La val. Ability to pav was the basis of the Dawes plan and the later Young plan for German repara tions. It was the basis of which. In the prosperous post-war years, the united State revised and refund ed the war debts owed by the al lies. Ability to pay now in a time w:rld uuset, and prospective abil ity to pay, will be the basis on which Mr. Hoover presents hi? views. All along, too. the United States has felt that an Integral factor In world economic distress was the immense sum expended on arma ments. Frcm this economic pMnt of view the whole armaments prob lem Is tinder review by the presi dent. Fiance Is a Iiv itc spended In military preparations.

FRANCE TO BUY FARM BOARD WHEAT New York. A) Dow, Jones and company says that according to in formation received in export cir cles two transactions for the sale of stabilization wheat are now In the formulatlve stage. One Is the sale of upwards of 50,000,000 bushels of wheat to France and the other Is a second sale of a material quantity of wheat to Germany. The New York representative of the Deutsche Gertrulde Handels gesellschaft, the organization which handled the previous 7,500,000 bu shel transaction with the federal farm board, is now In Chicago. Dow, Jones says the French nego tiations are likely to coincide with the visit of the French premier to the United States. If completed, these transactions will reduce the federal farm board's surplus stocks to materially less than half of the original 265,000, 000 bushels purchased.

The principal members of the league of nations council could not shake the determination of Ken- kichl Yoshizawa, the Japanese rep resentative, at a long meeting Wed nesday afternoon, and Lord Read ing of Great Britain said there probably would be an open meeting of the full council Thursday. tl was during Wednesday's ses sion that the Japanese distributed to the press another long memor andum setting forth their position. "Something will have to be done," the memorandum concluded, "to re establish an atmosphere of rela tively security in order that living conditions in Manchuria may get back to normal. "Japan considers it essential that China give assurance that she wishes to put an end to illegal, hos tile acts by the military and civil authorities toward the Japanese population, and that China guar antee that Japanese in Manchuria may continue operation of their business without molestation." Japan has no territorial designs In Manchuria, the note asserts, but wishes that China shall observe the engagements which she had under taken toward Japan. Japan desires that her relations with China be based not on a policy of aggression but on peaceful collaboration lor which the preseint expansion in Manchuria presents magnificent possibilities. Tills collaboration would be fruitful not only for China and Japan but for all nations, and mould be an important guarantee of world ponce."

RAILROAD LIST SUFFERS HEAVY OPENING DROP New York IIP) Utility and Indus trial stocks, aided by pool opera tions, brought the stock market up sharply from early losses of 1 to 6 points In the general list Wednes day. The close was Irregular with railroad Issues heaviest losers. Early unsettlement was caused entirely by the complicated inter state commerce commission report made public after the close Tuesday several days after it had been com pleted by the commission. Railroads had asked a manket freight rate Increase of 15 per cent; they received minor Increases con tingent on an agreement whereby the additional earnings would be pooled to aid the weak railroads. The original request, it was esti mated, would have resulted in in creased revenues of around $500,- 000,000. The one granted, with its limited scope, would amount to around $125,000,000. The street was at a loss as to how the railroads would receive this de cision. In the absence of comment from railroad executives, traders offered to sell railroad shares at the opening. Buyers were scarce and offerings, therefore, had to be made at wide concessions. Interest switched from the rails to the utilities which, easily ad vanced " after declines ranging to more than 2 points. This group was carried up to new gains of nearly 2 points and it closed high er, strength 1n utilities was instru mental In bringing a substantial re covery in the industrial section. In the latter Steel common re gained nearly all of an early de cline of more than 3 points. Au burn spurted 8 points from its low. Gains were registered in all the ac tive leaders such as Westlnghouse Electric, American Can, Montgom ery Ward, Case, General Electric and Columbian Carbon. Railroad bonds dropped 1 to 5 points in the early trading, adding to the unsettlement in the market for railroad stocks. Some of the railroad bonds ral lied before the close, but move ments in the group were highly ir regular. The remainder of the bond marke did not follow the ir regularity of the rails. Foreign loans continued to reflect the bet ter conditions abroad, which on any other day would have been bene ficial for the stock market. Domes tic industrials also were steady. U. S. issues held well. According to preliminary calcu lations the Dow, Jones and com pany industrial average stood at 108.39, off .26 point, railroad aver ages at 54.97, off 3.21 points and the utility average at 43.38, up .49 point. Sales totaled 2.200,000 shares compared with 2,500,000 shares Tuesday. New York iP A sharp decline in railroad shares was the stock market's response Wednesday to the interstate commerce commission's decision on the plea for higher freight rates. The market opened with numerous declines of $2 to $4 a share. Selling was in only moderate volume, and brokers generally were not inclined to view the rate de cision as likely to have more than temporary influence. Some felt that the decision had distinctly favorable Implications. Nevertheless, shares gave wav sharply. Southern Pacliic opened at $54.50. off $4.50: Nortliern Pa cific declined $3, going under $30: and Chesapeake & Ohio dropped $3.50 to $30.25. Such issues United States Steel and American Telephone lost $2. Other opening prices in the rail shares were : Baltimore & Ohio $38.50. off $2.75; Delaware & Hud son $102. off $4; Kansas City South ern $14.50, off $2.25; Frisco pre ferred $14, off $2. While there are few large trans actions At the start. New York Central opened with a transfer of 4,000 shares at $60, off $3. Penn sylvania opened with a block of 1.500 shares at $33. off $3.75. Erie dropped $2 to $13.50, and Southern Railway, $2 to $17.50.

BULBS RAISED ON LARGE SCALE BY L. C. By ELLA McMUNV Quinaby Down at the Luther J. Chapin farm on South Prairie, which is the local name for the sandy bottom land about a mile and a half west of this village, they do not speak or bulbs or dozens of bulbs, but rather tons of bulbs, tul ips, hyacinths and daffodils mostly, although every year sees new vari eties added. Last year they planted fifteen tons of daffodils, and eight hun dred thousand tulips, and they are busy now making up an order to go to an eastern buyer containing tulips to the amount of seven hun dred pounds. I spell these figures 'or they seem so large J fear the printer if confronted by the figures would leave off two or three ciphers. But Instead of eighteen persons as once were needed to plant the bulbs in the day of hand labor when every bulb was set in the ground by a human being bent over double and working with a small scoop, how you see but three persons on the place. L. J. Chapin, his wife and his son, Rawson, are at the pres ent time the entire force, and Mr. Chapin showed the writer the grounds while the other members of the company continued sorting and sacking bulbs in the store house. But the secret of the re duced working force, and increased acreage was explained by the pres ence of a new planting machine. the Invention of Mr. Chapin, which had that afternoon arrived fresh from the workshop for a tryout. The planter is drawn by tractor, a man carefully following a marked field, while another man sits con venient to the receptacle contain ing the bulbs and takes note of how they are dropping to the furrow and being covered. In the storehouse another ma chine called a grader, likewise a family invention, has eliminated much hand work, so that now the erstwhile busy boss has found spare time on his hands and has allied himself with the Mnlmo & Com pany nursery of Seattle and will be prepared to fill orders for vari ous fancy shrubbery and trees in addition to his fast growing list of bulbs. Prices, explained Mr. Chapin, are down, and the dry fall is proving an Impetus to many gardeners who are laying in supplies in the few weeks lelt before the tons of bulbs will be shipped away or replanted In the nursery.' BECKETT HELD TO GRAND JURY (Continued Itrom page 1) legedly reached for a gun on a shelf back of the seat. In the cab also was found a pint bottle of li quor. The back of the truck con tained a number of empty sacks and old blankets and quills, and officers puzzled over the reason for hauling them into the city at that time in the morning. Their attempts to link up the mysterious "John Doe" with the truck and Its contents at the time Beckett and his companion were arrested have so far proved fruit less in the refusal of the stranger to give an facts concerning his name, residence or acquaintances. FIND NO TRACE . OF TRUNK SLAYER (Continued from page 1) Jealousy developed by the strange mutual attachment of three wo men resulted in the gruesome mur der of two figures in their unusual triangle, authorities believed a they sought the third woman. Letters, interviews, and a study of the circumstances led County Attorney Lloyd Andrews, of Phoe nix, and Detective Inspector David Davidson of Los Angeles, to agree as to the Jealousy motive for the crime. County Attorney Lloyd Andrews, of Phoenix, and Detective Inspec tor Deid Davidson of Los Angeles agreed as to the possible motive. Andrews also said that 'the In vestigation shows that drugs may have had some part in the affair." from San Diego to New Mexico. Authorities were of the opinion that Mrs. Judd was in or near Los Angeles because she was believed to have only a few dollars, but mindful of the manner in which Hickman squirmed out of southern California in 1927, they worked carefully on each tip. Some officials were of the opin ion that the woman, accused of murdering her two friends, Miss Hedvig Samuelson and Mrs. Afrnes lie Rol.

GIVEN12585" FOR BUS JOLT Being out a little less than an hour the jury sitting on the damage action of Margaret Jensen against Pacific Greyhound lines In Judge McMahan's court Wednesday morn ing returned a verdict for the plain tiff for $2585 or judgment in full as sought in the complaint. Dorothy McDowell was foreman of the Jury. The plaintiff alleged she sustained Injuries about the chest, head and neck ns well as to a hand and wrist when she was riding in one of the company's busses and it stopped suddenly, throwing her against the seat just ahead. She charged at the time of the accident the operator of the bus was talking to a passen ger and was negligent in his duty. This the operator denied. The evidence showed that there had been a wreck just ahead and some cars were gathered about. A car backed out of a side street sutsv denly, it was stated, causing the bua to make an emergency stop. The case of Zielinskl aRainst Zle linski was taken up Wednesday morning following closing of the Jensen action. This Is a suit in which an estates seeking to recover money alleged to be due it.

LINES OFFERED Washington ifl Flatly denied permission to raise freight rates 15 per cent, America's railways have before them a new and untried in terstate commerce commission pro posal for pooling monies derived from surcharges on freight bills to aid the less prosperous lines. The railroads were left with no apparent alternative but to accept tne plan, incy were told by the commission their 15 per cent pro posal would be harmful to them selves because of the growing use of trucks and pipe-lines. Their exec utives were directed to submit a plan for handling the pool by December 1, and were informed It could not operate longer than March 31, 1933. Railroad men and attorneys had scoffed at the plan when shippers suggested it at hearings. It was un workable, thr y said. The commission, however, asserted it was workable. At the same time the commission outlined the commodities on which it would permit surcharges and the amount of those surcharges. They were limited to a maximum of 10 per cent. Major farm products Including wheat, corn, cotton, livestock, and most fresh fruits are not to be le vied against further. The commission disclaimed any responsibility for keeping the income of the railroads up to the require ments of the New York and other state laws for investment purposes. The carriers were joined by sav ings banks and other bond holders of the roads in their petition for the increase on the grounds that the value of the securities was threaten ed. A yield from the surcharge plan of between $100,000,000 and $125,000, 000 annually on the basis of present trafiic was estimated by the com mission. This would be pooled and the needs of the carriers unable to earn interest on their bonds cared for. Then the remainder would be returned to the more prosperous roads on the basis of the amounts paid in.
