10 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1932 BUTTER MART ALONG COAST Portland, Nov. 21 (LP) While there was no change In general quota' tlons, the market for butter re fleeted at least strength. Demand continues chiefly for the under' grades. Butterfat values continue mixed but generally unchanged, Prcsh egg market, continues to enow strength for all offerings and without price change. Receipts arc moderate. Storage stock is very much Inclined to drag where it is sola for wnat it is. Extreme lowness of the turkey market has caused receivers to dlS' courage live chicken receipts and the present supply Is scant. This is the only feature; prices being much the same. Most of the arrivals of dressed ducks and geese to date have been of poor to ordinary quality. Pew really top birds have been avail able. The best ducks have not been above 14c pound. With rather heavy arrivals of outdoor stock from California and lower prices prevailing there; some weakness and price loss is suggest' ed in the market for hothouse to' matoes here. Carloads of Oregon cauliflower are being sold to New York as a result of the small heads of Long Island stock available. Sales on care here are again commanding GO-Gftc crate. Quite fair stocks of country killed calves were carried over the week end but apparently no weakness was suggested in values. Hogs were in clined to hold steady with ewes and lambs firm. Hothouse cucumbers are In more liberal offering with prices a trifle easy. There is also some outdoor Btock from southern California which is selling at lower prices. California peas and green beans are fractionally higher. Tangerines are being offered at $1.25 lug. Celery market Is showing season able local activity. Potatoes continue to show strength at primary points. Well held here, 26 CENTS PAID 6ale of 281 bales of hops at 26 cents a pound and predictions that the hop market would go to 30 cents by the end of the present week were features for today's hop situation. Prospects were bright for other sales of hops, probably at 25 cents, to be made today. Hops moved freely at 25 cents In Saturday's business among sales reported being 48 bales from Pel land to Llvcslcy, 50 ..bales from Fowler at Wheatland to Llvesley, 18 bales from Sandgate and 15 bales from Hunt, both at Eugene to Llvesley, oil at 25 cents. Roberts also bought 2!) bales from Barber at Independence and 33 from Den tel at Buttevllle, these also being 25 cent transactions. The 281 bale sale was well au thenticated at the 26 cent price but names of those handling it were not revealed ond It was un derstood to be a dealers' transac tion. There seemed to be nothing In the offing as the week opened to weaken the market In any way and It seemed to be set for strengthen ing as the week advanced.

Likewise beer was not a part of the republican platform. Drys have indeed spread the word Mr. Hoover would veto such n bill. On that subject nt any rate the treasury will undoubtedly let the democrats take the reins. The heart beats of business sug gest to the wise men of Washing ton that we may have a comuara- lively strong final quarter for the year. tromtcuon is predicted to run about 15 per cent below last year. So far it has been averaging about 30 per cent below on the year. Cot ton mill activity is figured to show an improvement over all of 1931. Automobiles are overdue for better tilings. Production has been run ning far behind sales. All in all It looks to government men like a brighter Christmas. Be yond that no one is looking.

The turkey market appeared to break here to day when one large store adver- tlsed No. 1 stock to consumers at 19c a pound. This price and even better has been paid by retailers generally lor turkeys. The market slumped quickly on receipt of the news and some leading buyers quit the market entirely while others offered down to 15 and 16 cents a pound for the best birds. Receipts have not been extreme ly heavy but apparently there has been sufficient movement to care for the demand for shipping and for the Increasing prc-holiday local consumption. The big call has been for small hens or small toms. No. 2 turkeys have been quoted around 13 to 14 cents, with medium sorts and large toms, even of quality, no higher than 16 to 18 cents generally. There Is a fair movement of ducks and one small shipment of dressed geese, the former ruling to 18 and 20 cents a pound, and the latter at 14 to 16 cents. Leading dealers today had tills to say of the Portland turkey mar ket: Northwest Poultry and Dairy Products Co. We have withdrawn from the market and are now only nominally interested. Wo figure No. 1 toms for storage will not be worth over 15c. Swift & Co. The supply Is not as heavy as was expected and out side markets cleaned up holdings or quality nero overnight. McCaulays There is an abun dance of turkeys and prices are tenamg lower as a result of price cutting by some retailers are tend ing lower as a result of price cut ting ny some retailers. Zehrfeld Produce Co. The mar ket has not held up on account of underselling. Savinar Produce Kxchanue The market Is indicating demoralization as a result or retail price cutting. We have been very fortunate in having but few birds held over from aunoay snipping. Portland Produce Co. The trade Is weaker and lower with leadina ouyers out of the market. Every thing was going well until the re. tall price was slashed. United Poultry We have made very heavy last minute shipments to uaniornia by truck. Continuation of LICENSE FEES (Irom page one) eral counties, to which accrue one third of the license fee money but none oi tne gasoline tax money, would be more serious, however. A 60-per cent reduction in license fees would cut the road money of the counties, outside of that derived from direct taxes, in half, and many of them are financing road bond obligations out of these fees. In the entire discussion of the problem to date one factor has been Ignored, or overlooked which will probably figure In an important way in whatever action the legisla ture takes. That is the possibility of compensation county and state road funds to some extent for losses due to license fee reductions by in creasing the charges upon trucks, buses and other commercial carriers. The comparatively small margin of votes by which the complicated West truck and bus regulatory bill was defeated at the election Just passed does not mean that the ques- sion oi trucK and bus regulation and taxation Is dead or even sleeping. Even the truck and bus operators realize that there is going to be a strong sentiment among the legis lators for more drastic regulation and fees more commensurate with the use they have of nnd the dam age they do the highways. If the legislature is going to ac ceed to the popular demand for a reduction in the licenses for private cars, It is logical and reasonable that the reduction should be cal culated upon a schedule which takes into consideration an increase in the fees paid by commercial vehicles. At the present time commercial trucks and passenger carriers are paying into the state and county highway funds about $700,000 a year, according to figures compiled by the motor vehicle division of the secretary of state's office, and due to the depression receipts are slightly less than normal. For the. fiscal year ending June 30, 1931, total receipts from buses and trucks were $712,787; . for the following year they were $699,398, and for the first four months of the current fis cal year they have been $495,498 as against $563,849 during the cor responding four months last year. There arc few who will argue that these commercial vehicles pay adequately for the value they re ceive from use of the highways, or ior the damage they do, and among the truck and bus operators them selves there is evident a willingness to pay higher fees. How much higher they do not suggest, but from outside students of the prob lem come statements that such fees should be at least double. Others say a 50 per cent Increase would be fair. The prospect of thus securing more revenue from the trucks and buses suggests a solution of the one serious objection to the proposal for reducing the tax on private cars 50 per cent and adding a cent to the gasoline tax. Why not increase the portion of the license money divided among the counties iu nn nmount equal to the nmount the charges against commercial carriers are increased? Doubling of the charges on com mercial trucks and buses would almost completely offset the losses the counties would suffer from a 50 per cent reduction in licenses on private vehicles, and such a diver sion of these nddltlonal revenues would not seriously impair the fi nances of the state highway com mission. At the same time much Silverton Hops Go At 23 Cent Figure Sllverton Slxty-Oirce bales of hops were sold locally Friday at 23 cents, tne msa price yet paid nere.

BEER AND WINE INDUSTRY GETS Washington, Nov. 21 (IP) The American beer and wine Industry Is organizing to Keep out foreign prod ucts In event of prohibition modifi cation. Active lobbying already has start ed. It Is the hope of wine Interests particularly that modification will be restricted to permit only beverages made irom American agricultural products. Wine interests already are active on Capitol Hill. It Is expected they will have active lobbying going full oiasc snortiy. Mabel Walker Wille brandt, who represents Fruit Indus tries, Ltd., in Its home marketing of grape concentrates, while still under contract Is not expected to be as active in the modification movement. Her most valuable work was In dealing with dry republicans and to selling the grape concentrate plan to drys whom she led in the Hoover presidential campaign in 1028. Now, with anti-prohibitionists in the ascendancy and with democrats taking control In Washington, it was expected the chief load would be carried by someone else. An announcement regarding the representation here of the Califor nia grape interests is expected short ly- The California wine pool has on hand a supply sufficient to provide ror the estimated American con sumption for three years, according to those familiar with it. Therefore they look with considerable appre- nension to reports Irom abroad re garding preparations of French and Italian wine interests to flood the American market. They hope by framing tne law to require any bev erage sold to be produced entirely irom American products. Those desiring the elimination of foreign competition ore inclined to favor this method rather than high tariff. A high tariff, some argue, would not give protection be cause or the low prices at which foreign wines can be laid down in the United States, due to European overstocks and the low rate at which ocean freight can now be carried. Beer interests are consolidating under the leadership of Levi Cooke, Washington lawyer who has repre sented them for years. They are particularly concerned over the threatened Importation of German and Czechoslovaks beer. Ameri can brewing interests say foreign beer can be laid down in New York above the old duties at less than the cost of manufacturing would be in this country. There have been reports of bus! ness arrangements between Amer ican distributors and foreign brew ers involving large shipping con tracts which would put foreign com petition in a strong position to pen etrate the American beer market. NABS GLASSES L Every now and then "the meanest man ' makes a visit to some city or other but it Is seldom that a female of the species makes an ap pearance as apparently she did here Saturday, in the opinion of Mrs, Elizbeth Gallaher, secretary of the Y. W. C. A. An unnamed young woman, of poor circumstances, visited the washroom at the Y. W. C. A. rooms Saturday and removed her gold- rimmed eye-glasses, when she went to put them on they were missing. The young woman is partially blind and is unable to work without her glasses and does not have suffi cient money to purchase another pair as the finances of the family are extremely lov and her work is not very remunerative. Because of the nature of the glasses it is probable that they were taken solely for their gold rims. The' young woman called upon Mrs. Gallaher again Monday in the hopes that some one might have picked tip the glasses by mistake. Her eyes were badly swollen from exces sive crying over the week-end and she must have another pair before she can return to work. If the person who took the glasses will return them to tne y. w. u. a. rooms no questions will be asked by Mrs. Gallaher, who will see that they are returned to the owner.

LIQUIDATION CAUSES WIEAT PRICE TO DROP Chicago, Nov. 2t VP) Despite 1, 768,000 bushels decrease in the United States wheat visible supply total, wheat prices today weakened under persistent December liqui dation. A steadying Influence on declines in wheat values, however, was the fact that drought continued in big sections of domestic winter crop territory, and traders were looking for a heavier reduction of acreage than had recently been estimated At the Inside, December wheat to day was less than 1 cent above the all time record low. Wheat closed unsetted, - un der Saturday's finish, corn un changed to lower, oats unchang ed to M off, and provisions down to a shade advance. Downturns in grain prices early today accompanied fresh setbacks in British exchange and some re newal of talk about further liqui dation of Chicago December wheat contracts. It was emphasized that in about a year the British pound sterling equivalent in United States money had dropped from $4.86 to $3.28. Opening unchanged to Vi lower, Chicago wheat futures un derwent a general sag afterward. Corn started unchanged to off and subsequently held near the initial limits. TOOK MARKET New York, Nov. 21 (IP) -The stack market fluctuated aimlessly in dull turnover today on the eve of the meeting at Washington between President-Elect Roosevelt and Presi dent Hoover on the war debt ques tion. A wide break in Radio Corporation issues unsettled the list for a time but near the close some short cov ering developed and leaders rallied to within fractions of the previous close. Losses were about balanced off by small gains. The break In radio shares was at tributed to signing of a consent decree in the government's suit against Radio Corp., General Elec trie and Wcstinehoure Electric. Tin decree provides dismissal of those companies together with American Telephone & Telegraph but stimi lates they divest themselves of radio stock in a certain time. Anticip ating a glut of the market when the shares were disposed of to stockholders of General Electric and Westinghousc, traders unloaded and prices of the radio issues declined sharply. Steel common held around the previous close after recovering from an early decline. News from the steel Industry was considered ad verse, the Magazine Steel estimating production at 19 per cent of capac ity, against 21 per cent a week ago. Farm equipment shares eased off with wheat which closed down frac tionally. Du Pont rose nearly a point on declaration of the regular quarterly dividend of 50 cents share. Automobile shares ruled steady on 'indications of continued stepping up of operations on new models. Railroad shares were depressed for a time In the early trading, but they firmed up later. Atchison was helped by publication of its car loadings for the week ended Nov. 19, showing an increase over the previous week. Pennsylvania made a small gain. Foreign exchange was again un settled by a drop to a new low for the year In the pound sterling. Bonds were irregularly lower. Cot ton eased off moderately. According to preliminary calcu lations, the Dow, Jones & Co., in dustrial average stood at 63.65( off ,49 point; railroad 27.90 up .03 and utility 28.38, up .08. Sales were 600,000 shares, com pared with 700,000 shares last Fri day. Aggregate market value of 10 leading stocks was $5,776,554,301 against $5,817,173,483 Saturday, a decline of $40,619,182.

CONSENT DEGREE FILED IN RADIO ANTI-TRIST SUIT Wilmington Del., Nov. 21 fP Complete divorcement of the Gen eral Electric company and the Westinghousc Electric and Manu facturing company from Radio Cor poration of America was ordered! today by the federal court of Dela ware in a consent decree filed by the government in its anti-trust suit against the radio equipment companies. At the same time, the court end ed the long drawn out suit by en joining the defendants from at tempting to restrain trade by means of patent licenses or simi lar devices in violation of the anti trust law. The government suit, filed in the spring of 1930, was to have gone to trial last week, but was postponed when it was announced to Judge John R. Neilds that peace proposals had been presented by the defend ants on Nov. 11. General Electric and Westing house, which own a controlling In terest in Radio Corporation of America, are ordered to divest themselves of their stock holdings, and while this Is being brought about defendants are forbidden Ut exercise the voting rights of thelf stock. The defendants are enjoined also fro further exercising or enforcing the exclusive provision of their pat ent cross licensing agreements, which the government complained eliminated competition and hamp ered the rights of other concerns in the radio business. The defendant corporations are given 30 months to secure modifi cations of their contracts with foreign governments or corpora tions to conform with the court's degree. Washington, Nov. 21 (LP) New capital which will permit Nevada's closed banks to reopen shortly has been secured, officials of the re construction finance corporation said today after reports had been received from corporation repre sentatives in Reno. Other negotiations under way for the past 10 days have been suc cessful, officials said. Reports re ceived here indicated that deposi tors of some banks had agreed to adopt a "waiver plan," which would assure the bank that no deposits would be withdrawn for a specific time and when withdrawals starti a stagger plan would be followed. The plan virtually "freezes" de posits until a bank can strengthen its position. Corporation officials said the corporation is ready to loan to banks, "every dollar that can legally be loaned." Corporation representatives at work in Nevada are following the same banking methods recently used in Idaho to reopen the First National bank of Boise and nine affiliates.
