BUTTER EASIER
EGGS UNSTEADY
CHICKENS WEAK
Portland (IP There continues to
be reflected a weaker tone in tlic
butter market locally which Is more
or leu a picture of tlie general
American trade. Increased output
In reported In the local Held. Some
recessions are noted.
With much of the surplus milk
bclnrr turned into butterfat channels
the local creamery Industry is Buf
fering 'rom an overplus of offer
ings at the movement. This has
resulted In a further recession of
1 cent in the buying price almost
generally.
There was no change openly
made in the price of eggs for the
week's opening but some shad in
Is indicated. Undertone of the
market appears fractionally easier
and some are forecasting lower
prices.
Market for live chickens Is a very
ad affair here with very little de
mand In stent at the moment. Pre
vious low buying prices are con
tinued with the trail.- not at all In
clined to rush purchases.
Market appears well stocked with
dressed geese which are selling
mostly around 18 cents pound.
Ducks are in better supply in spots
with the best dressed at 20 cents
generally.
Some lancy cauliflower out of the
Rose burp section Is being received
In the Portland inarkrt. As the
quality Is excellent considering the
season, sales arc general iy ocing
made around $1.50 crate for No. 1.
First carload ol Mexican tomatoes
of the season has arrived in Port
land. As the trade is famished for
good stuff, the supply Is meeting
with favor. Hothouse stork is es
pecially very scarce. Mexican to
matoes pav a duty of 3 cents pound.
First mixed curload of Texas
vegetables has been received by the
trade here. The stock consisted or
eggplant selling around 15 cents,
green beans $5 bushel hamper and
peppers 20 cents pound.
Florida tangerines are arriving.
Arc of good quality and priced
around $1.85 bushel hamper.
There is a small demand for
Japanese oranges owing to the
rather high price.
Potato trade is drag 'ing with
prices unchanged.
Country killed lamb is In good
demand.
Demand for hogs Is easier and
the price lower.
Dressed calf market Is Inclined to
show a steady tone at a nickel for
best.
Demand for apples is lapping with
a lack of snap by distributing interests.
TODAY'S MARKET QUOTATIONS
i .
CHRISTMAS MAIL
UP TO THE AVERAGE
Evidently deciding to ignore the
depression and make a Christmas
out of it regardless, business at the
local postoffice has speeded up un
til it has reached a point where it
almost equals that or normal years,
in the opinion of Postmaster Far
Tar who has been watching the sit
uation. Up to Monday the volume
of mail, outgoing and incoming, had
averaged about 85 per cent of that
of last year. Monday, however,
found the local office virtually
swamped with packages and let
ters while the main lobby of the
federal building was crowded with
persons loaded with packages.
Thirteen extra employes were put
to work Monday, while it la likely
more will be added to the list by
night.
While the rush of mall will prbo
ably reach its peak, especially that
of the out going variety, there has
been no delay In the handling of
H, Arthur Gibbard, assistant post
master, states. He Is urguig per
sons to mail their letters and pack
ages immediately In order that
everything may be cleaned up by
Thursday night. There will be no
deliveries of any description Christ
mas day.

Opposition to the federal income
brackets and recommendation of an
increased rat? in the higher brack
ets were voiced in resolutions adopt
ed by the executive committee of
the etate grange here Saturday and
telegrams to this effect sent to the
OreKon delegation in congress. The
committee also went on record as
favoring a larger interitance tax and
a iare gift tax. The committee op
posed thi principle of the sales tux.
unless it be for temporary emerg
ency and in the form of a luxury
tiyc. Any increase in existing postal
rates will be opposed by the com
mittee. Other resolutions discussed
pertained to lower interest rates and
a moratorium on farm loans and
mortgages.
Charles M. Thomas, state utilities
commissioner, was urged to confer
with the interstate commerce com
mission in an effort to obtain com
bination car loadings of farm pro

GRANGE WORK CLUB
HAS ITS ELECTION
STOCK MARKET
IRREGULAR AND
MOSTLY LOWER
New York, IP Price moved Ir
regularly In lethargic trading n
the stock exchange Monday. 1
Many traders were absent for a
prolonged vacation over the Christ
mas holiday and business geenrany
was only of routine character In
banks and brokerage houses.
For the most part changes tn
stock prices were narrow, but for
a time tn the afternoon a lair rally
developed.
Toward the close pressure con
verged on the oil group and this
had a tendency to bring prices
down In other sections of the list.
Petroleum shares lost 1 to more
than 2 points with Standard of
New Jersey making a new low for
hte present shares at 36, off
and fiocony-Vacuum equaling Its
low at 9, off . Standard of Cali
fornia lost 2H points to 24i.
All sections of the market were
lower as the close neared. Steel
Common broke under 40 for a loss
of more than 2 pointa. Auburn.
Allied Chemical and American
Telephone lost 2 to 3 points each.
American Can. Wcstinghou.se Elec
tric and Case were down a point or
more.
In the railroad group early gains
were supplanted by losses that
ranged to more than a point in
N. Y. C. and Pennsylvania. Utilities
slipped back with the remainder of
the list.
TransAmerlca was a weak spot
throughout the session, making a
new low at 2, off and holding
around that level in fairlv active
turnover. Near the close selling In
creased in some of the leading
shares like American Telephone, U.
S. Stool and others.
Grains also sagged off near the
close and wheat closed 1 to Vic
a bushel lower and others were
down fractions to a cent. Cotton
lost a few points in quiet trading.
The reaction In Vheat had a
dampening effect on share buyers,
despite firmness in bonds. The lat
ter was taken as a barometer of
improved sentiment in the street
as a result of a series of aids now
being developed for the railroad
bonds such as the railroad credit
corporation and the reconstruction
finance corporation.

TURKEY PRICES

Portland, tP) Reversing usual
market conditions, the price of hen
turkeys on the Portland market is
now definitely established at an
advance of 2c a pound over the
quotation for toms.
The sales to the local trade over

fullly satlsactory, according to E.
J. Dixon of the local cooperative.
E. L. Martindale of Swift As Co..
said the market at the moment
is in fairly good shape witli hens
selling 2c above toms at 30s for
Go. 1.
Arrival of turkeys Sunday was
somewhat disappointing to the
wholesale trade. The complaint
was heard that many local grow
ers are "peddling' their supplies
from one place to another, occa
sionally disposing of them to re
tailers at a price lower than of

al recess to one week. Republicans,
however, held to their program
which calls for passage of the mor
atorium by Tuesday night and then
adjournment for two weeks.
The house marked time by dis
cussing the "state of the union."
Representative LaGuardia, republi
can, N. Y., opened the debate, as
sailing President Hoover's anti-depression
program as inadequate.
He said there would be "serious
trouble" if congress did not act. He
proposed federal aid to the Jobless,
a "real" building program, and
construction of a nationwide net
of new highways.
Senate investigation of Interna
tional banking continued, with Otto
Kahn detailing the foreign finan
cing handled by Kahn, Locb and
Co. He said he would favor dump
ing war debts and reparations into
the ocean if anyone could find a
way to do it.
The senate banking committee
resumed its study of the Hoover
plan for forming a $500,000,000 re
construction finance corporation.
There Is no hope of congressional
action on this measure until after
the holidays.
Before settling down to the mora
torium debate the senate passed
resolution asking tlie president to
make public the Wickersham com-
mission's study of the Mponey

Couzen's resolution calling for in
vestigation of the railroad situa

the measure Tuesday.

heavy acreages said to have been
contracted by Maling for both pro

It Is understood Malm will put

there while Maling agrees to tmck
the produce from there to Hills

said to be planned for the Labish
section.
Spinach has not been grown on a
big scale In the Labish country
for many years so there is nothing
much to use as a criterion as to
tlie price paid there. However,
beans have been grown in the West
Stnyton section for some years
prior to last year under eon tract
with the Oregon Packing company
which had a prir of $75 a ton to
the grower. Beans were alf crown
there for the St ay ton cannery.
Growers state they have heard
of no activitity in beans for the

alter which there was the possi
bility of heavy fighting in the Chm-

The first Japanese detachments
began operations out of Katyuan,
on tlie Peiping-Mukden railroad
north of Mukden, where Major
General Mori established temporary

Advices from Kaiyuang said one
of General Mori's detachments had
captured Chinkiatun and another
Tungkiangkou, subjugating tlie
Chinese with effective use of air
planes.
Major General Mori said he hoped
to exterminate 7,000 Chinese ir

The Japanese wrapped their hel

the Kellogg Briand pact, were is
sued by Dr. Wellington Koo, Chin

ports of a new Japanese drive tame
from Manchuria.
Officials, professing great pertur

it appeared Chinchow might be the
objective of the Japanese thrust,
expressed the belief that "most
dangerous complications'' are likely
"unless the Japanese refrain from

itary forces about Chinch' would

Manchuria is an integral part ol

Dr. Kao further recalled the part

PARTY EVENT
Dallas Carl B. Fcnton post of
the American Legion scored an
other bull s eye Thursday ni:;ht
when it staged for the first time,
a father and son meeting. Officially
it was known as the Lcglon-Le-gion-helr
ntlit and Its purpose
was tn arquaint the boys with the
general proc dure of a legion meet
ing this to be followed by a party
in the mam hall of the armor.
Each boy was asked to bring
an inexpensive gift which was
placed in in improvised fish pond,
for distribution later. From the
beginning it was evident that the
affair was going over big and tne
Legion rooms, was a lively place
from start to finish. The boys, big
and little, first enjoyed the meet
ing which was short and snappy,
and then trooped downstairs to en
joy a number of games, "fish" for
their gift and finally enjoy the
refreshments.
There were present some 65
boys, each cf whom accompanied
a legionnaire as his guest. Comrades
Virgil Bolton and Billy Miller,
chairmen of the entertainment
and eats committees, functioned
one hundred per cent. Expressions
of opinions from a number of the
members are that the event should!
become an annual one with the
possibility that in view of the suc
