STOCKS HIGHER
SESSION MOST
ACTIVE OF YEAR
New York. Oct. 21 (LP) Stock
gained fractions to more than three
points today In the most activo ses
sion of the year.
Automobile issues high and low
priced led the upturn on glowing
predictions of further gains for
1936. One prognosticator placed the
1936 output at 5,000,900 unite against
an estimated 3,500,000 for this year
Blocks of 1,000 to 15,000 shares
appeared in the motor division with
Packard the outstanding feature In
point of volume. Practically all the
motors made new highs along with
Packard, including Chryster, Gen
eral Motors. Hudson and Stude-
baker. Motor equipments joined the
new high group with gains ringing
to more than 2 points in Briggs.
Dozens of other issues made new
tops for the year or longer. Farm
equipments were carried up undrr
the lead of Deere and Case. Doug
las jumped 2 points to a new top in
a strong aviation section. Wilson
and Armour issues were heavily
traded at rising prices. Celanese
Jumped 2 points while Industrial
Rayon made a new top as silk lu
turcs soared on commodity ex
change.
Johns Manville was up nearly 2
points at a new high in the building
division. Libby-Owens-Ford led the
glass issues up with a gain of near
ly 2 points also at a new high. Phil
lips, American Woolen preferred,
Eastman Kodak, Western Union,
Westinghousc Electric, Schenley
and Radio-Keith -Orpheum made
new highs for the year or longer.
There are a few issues which
moved contrary to the general
trend. Some of the coppers were de
pressed as European war fears fad'
ed. American Telephone held
around the previous close.
Today's demonstration in the au
tomobile shares came when many
companies had placed their new
models on the market. The New
York automobile show will be held
this year in the first week of No
vember. Ordinarily the motors give
a boom performance in advance of
a show and then dip when it gets
under way.
Bonds advanced irregularly with
some of the rails, notably New Ha
ven issues, easier. U. S. government
Issues rallied. Word went around the
street that foreigners were buying
American Preferred stocks and
bonds.
Sales approximated 2,870,000
shares compared with 1.450,000 Fri
day. Curb sales were 431,000 shares
compared with 290,000 Friday.

CEREALS CLOSE
HIGHER TODAY
Chicago, Oct. 21 U Wheat prices
moved narrowly on the Chicago
board of trade today and at their
lows were around the levels that
prevailed before war talk became a
major market influence.
At the close wheat waa cent a
bushel higher to M cent lower. Corn
was higher. Oats H cent lower
to H cent higher, and rye H-H cent
higher.
The market started about steady
but commission house selling sent
prices down. Buying by eastern brok
ers brought rallies which attracted
new selling and liquidation.
At the lows for the day December
wheat was more than 10 cents a
bushel under the season's highs es
tablished early this month. Statis
tics offered little market inventive,
the domestic visible decreasing 783,
000 bushels, while clearances from
Canada continued discouraging.
Stocks on passage increased. Cash
market quiet and steady. Beneficial
rains over the winter wheat belt
were reported over the week-end,
This was reflected by weakness in
the July option.
Corn followed action in the major
cereal. Scattered commission house
buying contributed to the bulges
with bulk of trading In December,
reflecting the strong cash position,
Oats and rye were featureless.
Chicago, Oct 21 (fP) Firmness de
veloped in grain prices today, with
sellers of wheat scarce Most wheat
traders looked upon European polit
ical conditions as still critical. .
Opening unchanged to higher,
December $1.00-01, wheat soon
made some additional upturns. Corn
also started unchanged to higher,
December 59U-, and rose further.
NO IMPORTATIONS
TO GERMAN MARTS
While the September report from
Consul Schnnre in Hamburg, Ger
many, does not extend any direct
hope of opportunity for importation
into Germany of any volume o Am
erican dried fruit, there are several
very interesting items which may
have future significance and which
are condensed in the following re
port from the department of com
merce. (1) The import control author
ities have increased the ratio for
barter transactions for dried apples
and prunes from 1:2 to 1:2.0, that is,
these transactions will hereafter per
mit the importation into Germany
of American dried fruit valued at
only about one-third of the value
of the German goods, exported to
the United States in return.
(2) The semi-official organiza
tion, representing German buyers on
one side and Yugoslav exporters on
the other, has discussed the impor
tation of 6,000 tons of Yugoslav
prunes of the 1935 crops, of which
2,000 tons would consist of packed
prunes, 2,000 tons of bag prunes,
and 2,000 tons of jam prunes. Ger
man packers will doubtless oppose
the Importation of packed prunes
in spite of the shortage. A further
obtsacle for the Yugoslav exporters
Is the delay in obtaining payment
over the clearing agreement, a de
lay which at present is about six
months, and this period may be in
creased by further imports. In view
of threatened' currency depreciation
in gold standard countries, it is
questionable if the Yugoslav banks
will be willing to finance prune
shipments for this length of time.
(3) Bulgaria and Rumania are
presumed to be able to furnish about
6,000 tons of prunes for the German
mnrket from the current crop, pro
vided an agreement can be reached
on prices.
(4) Unless some change take.;
place to increase imports of Am
erican prunes, total German imports
this season will probably be limited
to 12,000 to 15.000 tons.

HOP TRADING
QUITE ACTIVE
Pacific Coast hop markets remain
ed steady during the week ended
Oct. 16, with trading fairly active
in each of the three Coast states,
according to the Weekly Hop Mark
et Review of the U. S. Bureau of
Agricultural Economics. Continued
fair to good demand from domestic
buyers and light selling pressure
from growers in all Coast producing
areas were the principal steadying
market influences. Sales by growers
totaled 1,969 bales, with California
producers selling 830 bales, Oregon
growers disposing of 629 bales, and
Washington growers 510 bales during
the past week, at prices ranging
from 10c to 12'i-c per pound, ne
growers, for 1935 hops, price varia
tion depending upon quality and
district where grown.
Of particular interest to the hop
industry was the release during the
week of the October 1, report of the
Division of Crop and Livestock Esti
mates regarding the 1935 production
of hops in the U. S. The indicated
production In the Pacific Coast
states is the same as was forecast,
Sept. 1 being placed at 47,080,000
pounds, or about 235,400 bales. Of
this amount, the Oregon production
is estimated at 123,500 bales. How
ever, from this amount only about
100,000 bales were harvested, the
remainder being left on the vines
because of low prices, red spider or
other damage and because of short
age of labor. For Washington hop
production Is estimated at 56,700
bales, with a large percentage of
this amount left on the vines. Most
of the hops grown west of the Cas
cade mountains were harvested, but
in the Yakima Valley trade esti
mates of the number of bales harv
ested range from 26,000 to 30,000
bales. Low market price, insect
damage, and labor troubles were
factors responsible for leaving much
of the crop unharvested. Latest re
ports indicate California harvested
about 55,200 bales of hops this year.
Oregon markets were considerably
less active than during the previous
week, with gowers sales totaling 629
bales during the period. ' Of this
amount, 325 bales netted growers
10c, 160 bales brought lO'ic, and
134 bales netted 11c per pound to
growers, for 1935 crop clusters. 10
bales of 1934 crop hops were sold
durlntr the period at 6c per pound,
net grower. Demand was somewhat
less urgent than during the pre
vious period, but Oregon growers
were not pressing their hops for
sale, and offerings were only about
sufficient for trade requirements.
This tended to maintain a steady
firm market tone in Oregon mar
kets during the period. ,
Exports of hops from the TJ. S
during July totaled 134.873 lbs., and
during August 54,375 lbs. bringing
total for the year ending Aug. 31
to 6,772,352 lbs. compared with ex
ports of 7,700.204 lbs. during ihfl
previous crop year.
Imports of foreign hops into the
U. S. during July totaled 146,876 lbs
and during Aug. 201,266 lbs. bringing
the total for the crop year ending1
