FEW CHANGES
IN PORTLAND
PRODUCE MART
Portland, Feb. 24 (IP) Aside from
the local market, which is being at
fee ted by decreased supplies of estrs
at the moment, there Is practically
no change In the general trading
lone 01 the local industry. Private
buyers generally are scrambling for
their needs of eggs as a result of the
great slaughter of fowls in this ter
ritory during the last few weeks.
The kill here Is reported even great
er than In other territories.
There was no further change In
the list for the day. Non cooper
ative association Interests are talk
ing of higher prices again, because
their supplies have shown the great
est curtailment.
Practically all of the leading mar
kets of the country have been with
out price changes during the last
few days.
Market for butter continues to re
flect better than a steady tone lo
cally with little price change Indi
cated at any of the leading Ameri
can trade centers. Butterfat Is quot
ed steady.
Movement of cheese Into consum
ing channels Is still Increasing along
the west coast with reflections of a
fully steady tone In the Wisconsin
territory. Prices here are being well
held for No. 1 grade.
Considerable strength Is retained
In the market for country killed
lambs with a quick cleanup of of
ferings. Hogs are Just hold In? while
Teal appears steady. Good demand
for beef.
There Is a serious congestion of
potato offerings which Is ex peeled
to Increase with the general opening
of pits. Prices are very weak with
Yakima consignments a serious det
riment to the entire coast trade.
Considerable improvement has
been shown In late offerings of
Walla Walla spinach with sales of
fresh arrivals up to $1. 40-1 1.50. Tex
as stock moving well.
Better quality California cabbage
Is offering from the Imperial valley.
This stock Is of the cannon ball va
riety and sells at 44c lb., which is
the same as Texan.
First offerings of real new pota
toes from California are reported In,
They are of the Garnet variety and
selling 10-12c lb. Very good. Florida
stock at 12-Mc and not as good.
Fancy Columbia river Chinook sal
mon Is offering 25c lb. with head on.
Fresh halibut in better supply at
around 23c with chicken 20c lb.
More fresh crabs are arriving from
all directions. Chicken market fully
steady. Turkey demand remains fav
orable at late price advances.
Fancy hothouse cucumbers from
Clackamas are offering at $2.50-$2.75
a dozen. Better quality Rose burg
cauliflower is offering at $1. 65-11.75.
ROOSEVELT OUSTS
SHERIFF FOR GRAFT
(Continued from pngre 1)
ever, believed that the governor's
action had no political significance
and that his di.smi.ssai ot Farley was
an action entirely against the
sheriff and had no connection with
his feelings toward Tammany Hall
The Hnll had been expected by
some political observers to retali
ate for the removal by throwing its
trength to some ant 1-Roosevelt
unit.
Parley said he would rUc his sup
port to Roosevelt's candidacy re
(tardless of what action the gover
nor miKht take in his case if the
Tammany Hall organization turned
lis convention support to Roosevelt.
Al hough he did not ba.e his re
moval order on Farley's personal
appropriation of interest on funds
of litigants, the governor criticised
this 'highly improper practice"
which had been "long continued".

BETTER PAYFOR
ENGLISH WHEAT
London, Feb. 24 (IP) Increased
prices win tjc guaranteed growers
for home grown wheat which Brlt-
isn millers must buy, text of the
government wheat bill revealed to
day.
The paymejiU will be guaranteed
on a maximum of 27,000,000 hun
dredweight any cereal year starting
W1LI1 WW.
A standard price of 10 shillings
labut $1.73 at current exchange
and $2.50 at par) per hundredweight
win De guaranteed.
The wheat bill established the
quota of home grown wheat which
British millers must buy at a max
imum or 19.6 per cent of consump
tion based on the 1S31 British
wheat consumption of 139,000,000
nunarcawcignts.
It was planned originally to estab
lish the quota of home grown wheat
at about 15 per cent and a wheat
commission created by the bill was
expected to work out a scheme to
Keep the quota around the origin
al figure.
The government guaranteed to
reimburse growers for the differ
ence between the average market
price and the standard price of de
ficiency payments. Funds will be
obtained by proportional payments
from millers and Importers on flour
delivered In the United Kingdom.
The bill created a wheat commis
sion to administrate the scheme, and
a flour millers' corporation to dis
charge any obligations Imposed on
nillers Kith re.pect to unsold wheat
stocks.

UNFAVORABLE
CROP REPORTS
SEND WHEAT IIP
Chicago, Feb. 24 MV-Unfavorable
crop reports from western Kansas
and western Nebraska, with official
returns Indicating considerable
abandonment of seeded acreage,
helped put wheat prices up today.
Around 1,000,000 bushels of North
American wheat was reported tak
en for shipment overseas, and
quantities of hard ' winter grades
from the United States were men
tioned as being worked. Berlin ad
vices that Germany would probably
reenter the world's wheat market
as an Importer within 30 days at
tracted special notice.
Wheat closed firm, l'i to 1'4
above yesterday's finish, corn Vi
to Hi up, oats to !. advanced,
and provisions unchanged to 10
cents lower.
Chicago, Feb. 24 (IP) Short coV'
ering In the last half hour gave
wheat a sharp upturn at the close
on the board or trade today. The
market had been quiet, holding
small gains on the stretch abroad
and the unfavorable reporU coming
from the winter wheat belt. Early
easiness In stocks acted as a damp
er on the market but later they, too,
urmed up. Pressure was light most
of the day. Corn was firm with
wheat after being easy early, shorts
covering. Oats were unsettled, fol
lowing corn.
Portland, Feb. 24 P) The entire
world showed a bullish tone for
wheat, both cash and futures dur
ing the day. On the Portland Iu
tures market, despite the fact that
only 1000 bushels July were sold.
there was an active demand. May
closed with an advance of cent,
July while Septemben gained
cent bushel. The September float
ed over old crop.
GERMANY TO
BUY WHEAT
Berlin, Feb. 24 P) A prediction
was made in local grain circles that
Germany would reenter the world
wheat market within the next 30
days, pending an Inland adjustment
or the price of grain and following
discussions of a revision of a wheat
tariff and removal of part of the
mining restrictions.
Because Germany exported a
great deal of wheat last fall, these
circles said, an abnormally short
cereal crop will make It necessary
to Import sufficient wheat to feed
the people until the new harvest.
Certificates were given those who
exported wheat last fall entitling
them to Import an equal quantity
whenever they wish. These cer
tificates now are negotiable and are
selling roughly at 180 marks a ton
against a tariff of 250 marks.
The decrease in Inland price
makes German wheat at present
cheaper than foreign wheat to
which the tariff costs have been
added. At present mills are allowed
to grind a maximum of 30 per cent
foreign wheat, but belief was ex
pressed that this percentage would
be raised In the future.
Grain circles here said they ex
pected the American, Argentine and
Canadian markets would split the
benefits of Germany's probable pur
chases unless the United States
farm board were willing to release
aother 7,500,000 bushels on terms
similar to those governing the last
purchase.
POTATO MARKETS
GENERALLY DULL
Corvallls, Feb. 24 (IP) Potato
markets were generally reflecting
the slow demand of the season that
has resulted in a total carlot move
ment of 80 per cent as compared
with last year's clearance, accord
ing to today's market-gram Issued
by the O. S. C. extension division
cooperating with the United States
bureau of agricultural economics.
As production was normal or
above, the holdings were affecting
the market, the report stated .
San Francisco market trading

BROADACRES
MARKET ROAD
CONTROVERSY
The problem of alignment for
extension of the Broadacres mar
ket road which caused a delay in
construction there last year has
again come up with the county
court and Roadmaster Johnson vis
ited the section Wednesday after
noon In an endeavor to straighten
it out so a survey can be made to
get ready for work on the road the
coming summer.
The difficulty lies In Ironing out
a decision as to one of two routes
to be taken from the station at
Broadacres on the Oregon Electric.
Last year two petitions were filed,
one headed by Henry L. Hunt and
the other by Clara Whitney.
The Hunt petition wishes the
market road to continue on from
where the Hubbard paved road
crosses the track at Broadacres and
go straight to the Henry Stute cor
ner and turn north there for about
three quarters of a mile where it
would hook onto the old Jackson
road and turn west again at that
point. To follow this road it would
be necessary to make a cut into
the Stute farm and also require
moving back some of his buildings.
The petitioners on the Whitney
petition wish the road to cross the
Oregon Electric at Broadacres, the
same as asked on the other peti
tion but instead of going straight
to the Stute farm the road would
turn and follow the Oregon Electric
"IMIC
track from Broadacres and hook
onto the old Jackson road at where
it crosses the Oregon Electric. The
market road would then turn there
and follow the old Jackson road
west. The main difference between
the two factions seems to be as to
how the road will get around the
block and what course it will fol
low.
The state engineers favor the
idea in the Whitney petition of
following the Oregon Electric track
and Inasmuch as market roads must
be laid out with approval of the
state highway department this
route so far seems to have the in
side track.
Delegations from both sides are
expected to wait on the court and
advance their contentions before
final decision is made.
NORBECK-BULOW
BILL FAVORED
Washington, Feb. 24 The
senate agricultural committee to
day voted a favorable report on the
Norbeck-Bulow resolution to sun-
ply farm board wheat for relief of
humans and livestock In the near
northwest.
The committee approved the mea
sure after a brief statement by
Senator Norbcck, republican. South
Dakota, setting forth a need tor
immediate relief."
Norbeck said thousands of cat
tie were starving and that the
Bed Cross was caring for 10,000
families in the central northwest
area.
The resolution. Introduced yes
terday by Norbeck and his collea
gue. Senator Bulow, would make
immediately available up to 5,000,-
000 bushels of wheat.
It would be distributed by the
Red Cross or such other organiza
tions as President Hoover might
designate.

OUTLOOK WHEAT
STILL DUBIOUS
SAYS COLLEGE
Corvallls, Feb. 24 (P) The possl-
bility of a comparatively short crop
of soft red winter wheat In the
states east of the Rocky mountains,
thus somewhat Improving the do
mestic demand for Oregon white
wheat, is the most encourag
ing aspect of the wheat situation
and outlook Issued by the Oregon
State college extension service.
"The wheat outlook Is still
certain," the report said, "because
information is lacking on probable
plantings of spring wheat in this
country and In foreign countries.
"Improvement this year depends
mostly upon reduced production al
though some observers think there
wlU be .tome increase in demand
because of Increasing population
and possibly because of other fac
tors." Present prospects as seen by the
college economists are for a much
smaller crop of winter wheat In this
country than last year, and world
acreage is believed to be slightly
less. However, indications point to
a large carryover next July 1.
The average price of wheat in
Oregon at the close of the year was
about 50 per cent of the 1926-1930
average. On January 15, this year,
the price of wheat in Oregon had
5.9 cent advantage over the aver
age price for the whole country.
A year ago the average price for
the country was 8.1 cents better
than the Oregon price. The report
calls attention to the fact that
there are certain price making
forces which affect the price of
wheat in Oregon differently than
the country as a .whole. Among
these is the supply in the Pacific
northwest and other western states.
Hay and feed grain supplies In
the western states are rather short,
the report said, although conditions
look favorable for better yields of
these crops in 1932. An increase of
seven per cent in the acreage of
corn in Oregon is Indicated. The

STEEL LEADS
RISE DURING
DULL SESSION
New York. Feb. 24 IP-U. 8.
Steel led the stock market Into
higher ground today. The Issue
nearly made up all of Its losses of
2; points of -the previous session
and held gains to the close.
Trading was dull. The list open
ed irregularly lower and then grad
ually moved up.
All sections followed Stee). Lead
ing industrials were up one to three
points. Including Allied Chemical,
American Can, Du Pont, Westing
house Electric, Woolworth, Inter
national Business Machines, and
Bethlehem Steel. American Tele
phone was up nearly three points
in its division, while rails were up
fractions to two points, best gains
being made by the New York Cent
ral, Union Pacific, Southern PacUie
and Atchison.
Auburn Auto which lost 12 points
yesterday and 10 points lost Satur
day, came back to 102 today, up
more than six points.
Special buyint? converged around
such issues as the American Woolen
stocks. McKeesport Tinplate, Inter
national Business Machines, Dairy
Company Issues, Columbian Car
bon, Drum?, Inc., U. S. Industrial
Alcocho, Eastman Kodak and Loews.
Copper shares joined the advance
near the close, but oils did nothing
despite the fact that oil statistics
made a favorable showing. Crude
production was down 30,000 barrels
daily due mostly to a sharp drop In
the east Texas area. Gasoline
stocks increased by 362,000 barrels
in the week ended February 20.
The street watched carefully the
testimony of Richard Whitney,
president of the stock exchange, in
hearings before the house Judiciary
committee. The majority believed
Whitney set forth a good case for
the retention of the short sale and
some thought his statements might
forestall adverse legislation on this
phase of the market's operations.
