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.

TURKEY PRICES
DR0PT019CTS
TRADE WEAKER
Portland, Nov. 21 (!) 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.

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

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.
