April 21 OP) In Bplte of a generally reactionary trend in the domestic wheat trade today some advances In local spot prices were shown. It appeared rather stiff premiums over former cash prices here were offered at country points by local buyers, resulting finally in a readjustment of values. Compared with Thursday the changes were: Big Bend bluestem, dnik hard winter 1c higher, soft 'fcc, western white and northern spring none, hard winter l4c bushel. Mon tana cosh wheat was down V&c Dtishel nil around. Futures prices lost for new May, lc for old May, Hie for July and l'ic bushel for Septem ber. Volume of sales was good but smaller than Thursday. The exact number was not available because the market went against some of the bigger operators and they did not care to give their totals. Further advance of 50c ton In the price of millrun suggests the very great demand and fchort supplies.

Strawberry Plants Are Being Set Out Hazel Green Tony and Stephen Kasper arc planting 14 acres oj Marxian strawberries on land leas- ed from N. P. Williamson. They are using a planter and the plants were secured from Lacomb where snow covered them during the severe cold. The plants are of fine quality. Alexander Sharp has planted five acres on Will Williamson's farm, the plants coming from Palls City. Alvln Van Cleave has a bunch of fine Oregon strawberry plants while Will Davis, who also had a patch of the same variety, suffered a total loss by freezing. Rudolph Wacken, Perry Sanders. Henry Dunlgan and numerous otlv er Etterbcrg growers have plowed up their patches and seeded the ground for grain. Ralph Worden has grubbed out two acres of prunes and Joseph Schneider Uie same quantity of pear trees. HIGHER PRICES MOVING GRAIN IN NORTHWEST Spokane, Wash., April 21 yp) Rising commodity prices have un locked the doors of the Inland Em pire granaries and today a flood of golden grain was pouring Into coast markets and Inland mills. By train, truck and river boat. It is moving at a rate between 75,000 and 100,000 bushels a day, grain men and railroad officials estimated. The movement has gained in volume in the last few days, coincident with spectacular advances on the Chica go wheat market. If the price continues to advance, it was predicted, the movement may double in volume, as storage space iu the interior is limited and place must be made for the new crop, due in July. This would prevent holding the old crop into the summer. An accurate estimate of the amount of wheat still held in Ore gon, Washington and Idaho gran aries was not available. On March 1 it was estimated that 63.7 percent of the 1932 crop still remained in granaries and warehouses in Oregon and Washington, about double the amount on hand March 1, 1932. Union Pacific railroad officials es timated that there are 18,500,000 bushels in storage at points along its tracks in Oregon and Washing ton. In the meantime, growers of this region are re-seeding much of the winter wheat killed by last winter's cold. An official estimate on the amount of winter damage has not been made, but in some sections It was estimated that the loss would reach 90 percent. An unofficial estimate made nere indicated that the loss for the en tire section would average 75 per cent. Figuring on the basis of an aver age increase of 17 la cents a bushel since Jan. 3, grain men here estim ated that northwest farmers have been enriched more than $8,500,000 with yesterday's advance. On the same basis they estimated- that farmers of the Inland Empire are worth about $4,250,000 more than they were at the beginning of this year. Big Bend baart was quoted at ii cents a bushel here yesterday. New York, April 21 (IP Stocks followed grains down today when the dollar made a good recovery in terms of the pound sterling and oth er European currencies. The crash in the pound sterling from an opening of $3.90'.i to $3.74$, brought heavy selling into wheat and that grain dropped 1 to l'S&c on the day. Other grains made corresponding lasses. Silver broke the limit of 300 points. Commodi ties generally were lower. The rapid upturn in the dollar was a technical reaction from an oversold condition. It was discon certing to those who had antici pated wild inflationary demonstra tions, and It may have been engi neered by the English through their equalization fund, although that could not be confirmed. Selling was sporadic throughout the day in the industrial division. Utilities were hard hit after their sharp rise yesterday. Railroads were a sensation at the opening soaring to new highs for the year on blocks of 1000 to 25.000 shares. Gold min ing Issues furnished a feature in the afternoon by advancing to new highs for the year. Aviation Issues had a period of strength. The most consistent unloading occurred in the utilities. Consoli dated gns was dumped on the mar ket on fears of a dividened reduc tion when directors meet next week. Gas crashed more than 5 points. Public Service of New Jersey, North American, standard Gas and United Gas improvement weakened. Ameri can Telephone which was strong yesterday gave up nearly all of Its rise of 6 points. The silver group softened, espec ially American Smelting, U. S. Smelting and International Silver Issues. The entire group of so-called commodity steoks were hard pressed as traders too profits. The last hour selling increased as the close neared. Tickers fell be hind several minutes and it was necessary to abbreviate quotations. Steel issues were heavily sold. U. S. Steel broke below 40, against a close yesterday of 42 American Can, Continental Can. Du Pont, Al lied Chemical, Sears Roebuck and a long list of others lost 2 points or more. Homestake mining reached a re cord high of 201 in the Mid-day day trading, and other gold mines made new tops for the year. Home stake is the only atVvo stock selling at that price. Back in 1929 there were 94 issues selling above 200 and in 1930 there were 37. Despite the behavior of the stock market, business continued to re flect confidence. The Dun and Bradstrect review was bullish on all lines. The aggregate market value of 10 leading issues was $5,501,854,387 as against $5,775,300,162 yesterday, a decline or $273,445,775. Dow. Jones preliminary averages: industrial, 69.79 off 2.48; railroad 29.57 up .82; utility ,22.64 off 1.98.

E WITH GROWERS; Portland, April 21 (LP) The Port- I land chamber of commerce today was on record against regulations of j the federal farm credit group which i prohibit wool manufacturers from buying wool direct from growers i who are indebted to the regional agricultural credit corporation. Directors of the chamber feared the regulations would damage the Portland wool market. For 75 years, It was said by Wal ter W. R. May, manager of the chamber, it had been the custom of manufacturing industries of the Pacific coast to buy wool direct from growers. The recent regulations adopted by the farm credit administration pro vide that:- 'Regional agricultural credit as sociations shall Instruct all growers who are or become indebted to thein on paper secured by liens on sheep, goats and wool or mohair, that all their wool or mohair for the clip year 1933 shall be consigned to re putable and financially responsible houses or dealers, including the Na tional Wool Marketing corporation or any other recognized woo! co operative." A resolution urging the chamber use its Influence to have the regula tions changed was passed earlier by a special committee representing banks, wool manufacturing indus tries, the wool growers' co-operative, commission of public docks and var ious chamber committees. W. D. B. Dodson, executive vice- president of the chamber, who is at Washington, will present the res olutions to the farm group. POSTAL EMPLOYES MAY BE PENSIONED Eight postal employes of the Sa lem office would be automatically retired if President Roosevelt's re quest for power to eliminate all per sons In the service who have served 30 years is agreed to by congress, Postmaster John Farrar declared today. The postmaster and his first assistant, Arthur Gibbard would be among those to retire, since they have been employed more than 30 years. Others effected would include U. S. Rider and Arthur Welch. President Roosevelt Is quoted in a dispatch from Washington as hav ing asked permission to "discharge" all employes with more than 30 years service. However, it Is believed the men would be placed on the pension list Instead of being dis charged outright since all have con. tributed regularly to the government pension fund. Under the present law postal employes arc not pensioned until they have reached a certain age. The pension amounts to $100 per month to persons who have earned an average of $1600 yearly.

BRIDGE REPAIRS FORGED BY SETTLING Lack of headwalls underneath at least two of the city's permanent concrete bridges are resulting in set tling of the street pavement where It Joins the bridges, and the condi tion will have to be corrected, City Engineer Hugh B. Rogers said today. At me uross street bridge between 12th and Berry the pavement has settled at the south end of the bridge, Rogers said, due to lack of a heodwall or abutment to support the pavement. The ends of the bridge rest on beams and pilasters with only riprap between them, and the result is that the riprap occa sionally washes or sloughs out, leav ing the pavement without support, and settling results. A similar condition is resulting at the south end of the South Com mercial street bridge, Rogers said. Rogers will have a crew repairing the Cross street situation as soon as the water drops to a level making it possible for men to work under the bridge.

CHANGE IN PLAN MARKETING WOOL FLEECES Portland, April 21 Another change in the marketing plans for wool Is suggested in latest advices from Washington to Portland ln- terdests. The light being waged by local mills and some dealers to purchase fleece direct from grow ers, appears, the Journal said to day, "to have been won in a slight degree although the plan is still somewhat Indefinite." A meeting of the Boston wool trade with government officials was to be held today with a view of Ironing out the difficulties. Fearing that regulations re cently made by the Federal farm credit administration prohibiting wool manufacturers from buying wool direct from growers who are indebted to the regional agricul tural credit corporations, " would damage the wool market here, di rectors of the Chamber of Com merce voted to request a change in the regulations. R. A. Ward, general manager or the Pacific Co-operative Wool Grow ers, with headquarters here, said it had been understood that wools of agencies re-discounting with Federal reserve intermediate credit banks were under the government plan. This would lltterally mean that the fleece could not be sold at count dy points but must be con- igneti either to the co-operatives or to private firms. "I have received a wire from Wash ington," Ward said, "that wools of these discounting agencies are not under the plan and it is dis cretionary with the Federal Inter mediate banks as to what they ad vise their discounting agencies to do." It is estimated this would reduce the volume of wool under the R. A. C. plan to seme 25 to 35 per-ccnt of the clip, which would leave an ample supply for free trading out of the 40,000,000 pound clip in Ore gon, Washington and Idaho. WHEAT BUYING SLUMPSJOBAY Chicago, April 21 ( Sharp cur tailment of the enthusiastic buying more than 20 cents led to lower v.'hleh has recently hoisted wheat prices today, espeically during late transactions. Rains in droupht districts, stock market hesitancy, and downturns had an unsettling elfcct on confi of silver and of the British exchango aence of prchascs of grain. De lays to spring wheat seeding failed to act as an offset. Wheat closed unsteady, 114-1 under yesterday's finish, corn ',4-t down, oats unchanged to 'A up, and provisions varying from 17 cents decline to a rise of 20 cents. Increased buying oi wheat devel oped on price breaks, and at times rallied Uie market rapidly to well above yesterday's finish. A fall in the price of silver was without any apparent Influence on the market. Corn and oats snared with wheat while provisions lacked aegressive buying support. Despite announcement of admin istration plans for 3,000,000,000 in flation, grain prices took an early downward swing today. Selling orders predominated in all pits, and new ouymg was in smaller volume than recently, opening unchanged to Ta lower, wheat showed losses of 1'4 cents a bushel all around. corn started off to H up, and underwent a general setback.
