BUTTER PRICES
PUZZLE TRADE;
EGGS ADVANCE
Portland (LP) The mystery of the
recent advance In the price of un
dergrade cube butter on the Port
land produce exchange while top
score butter was unchanged, con
tinues to attract attention In the
trade here. eports of what caused
the advance are varied but the one
chiefly told Ik that at a formal meet
ing of brokerage firm and dis
tributive body. 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

demnrd gunman, to read the Bible.
The clergymen cooperated In con
vincing him that Christianity is the
road to happiness, the slayer of
Bum Present t wild, but they were at
wlds regarding baptlMii.
One thought sprinkling of water
sufficient, another believed total
Immersion necessary.
"Out of curiosity I tried to set
tle it by reference to the Bible, got
Interested and have been since"
Kingsley told the United Press.

October 30.

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

the visit of the French premier to

If completed, these transactions
will reduce the federal farm board's
surplus stocks to materially less
than half of the original 265,000,

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

Central opened with a transfer of
4,000 shares at $60, off $3. Penn

1.500 shares at $33. off $3.75. Erie
dropped $2 to $13.50, and Southern

BULBS RAISED

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.'

tiff for $2585 or judgment in full as
sought in the complaint. Dorothy

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

This the operator denied.
The evidence showed that there
had been a wreck just ahead and
some cars were gathered about. A

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
