Advance In construction and pow er shares was attributed to expec tations of great replacement de mand in the. Hood zones. These is sues made numerous new 1935 highs. The remainder of the market, however, was dull and prices drop ped under lack of buying power The" foreign situation continued to be a stumbling block to trading, operators withdrawing to the side lines uncertain of the outcome of week-end conferences over the Ger man situation. The French eco nomic situation, with the franc continuing to decline in foreign exchange trading, also served as a market retardant. Among the "flood stocks" which were pushed higher were Atlas Portland cement at a new high of 25 up lVa, Lehigh Portland cement at a new high of 20',4 up IS, Long Bell lumber A up at a new high of VA, Penn-Dlxie cement up at a new high of 8!4, Thompson Starrett up at a new high of 8 while the preferred went 2 points higher to 38.

BUnERPRlCES DROP SHARPLY San Francisco, March 21 (flV-Pacific coast butter markets, which have been developing an increasing tendency toward erratic movements, broke sharply this week. The price of 92 score butter in wholesale outlets here dropped 4tt cents this week, Today's quotation was 30 cents a pound. The decline came suddenly, with a recession of lb cents Thursday night followed by a 3-cent drop Friday night, F. H. McCampbell, federal observer, said the drop followed reports that cars of butter were rolling eastward from Minnesota and the Dakotas. Three cars have been received here thus far. Apparently the effect of this movement of midwest butter was to shut off distributor purchases, with the expectation of lower levels to come. Holders stuck to their policy of clearing stocks, not being willing to risk storage at these prices. Production Increased somewhat. McCampbell's report on represen tative Pacific coach creameries showed an outturn up 3.5 per cent over the preceding week and 4.1 per cent higher than last year.

PACIFIC HOP MARKET QUIET DURING WEEK Pacific coast hop markets were extremely quiet during the week ended March 18, but maintained a steady tone, according to the Week ly Hop Market Review of the U. S. bureau of agricultural economics. Demand was slow trom domestic consuming Interests and foreign buyers, but lack of selling pressure from growers was a steadying mar ket influence, and price." paid grow ers were practically unchanged from those for the previous week. Sales bv growers in the const states weir confined to Oregon markets alone, and totaled 370 bales of 1835 crop Clusters, at prices ranging from 7c to OHc per pound, net to producers, variation depending upon quality. Oregon markets furnished the only activity in spot hops during the past seven days, a total of 370 bales of new crop hops bringing 7c 7'ic per pound, net to grower, the OU'C price being for prime to choice hops. The market tone appeared about steady with prices showing unchanged from the previous week. Lack of selling pressure from grow ers tended to offset the dull mar ket inquiry and current offerings were only about equal to the light trade requirements. There was no interest reported, in hops of older growths. Some moderate activity developed in the contract market and a few three-year deals were re ported consummated at 12c; 13c and 14c per pound, net grower, for the 1P36. 1937 and 1938 crops, respec tively, according to ;rade reports. Washington hop markets were ex tremely quiet during the period un der review, with no sales by grow ers reported in either the Yakima valley or western Washington dis tricts. Growers in the Yakima val ley area were reporten asking 9c to 10c for best quality 1035 crop Clus ters, 8c to 9c for primes, and 6c to 7c for mediums, but dealers were not interested at these prices. California hop maikets were In active during the week ending March 18. with no sale reported by growers in the three main produc ing sections. , The New York hou market was steady as remaining stocks of 1935 hops are not considered burdensome and selling pressure was lacking on the part of growers. Most of the large brokers there have enough supplies on hand for the near fu ture and see no necessity for mak ing further purchase? while hops are selling at prevailing lfevels. Imports of foreign hops into the United States for the five months period, Sept., 1935, through Janu ary, 1936, have totaled 2,869,712 lbs. compared with Imports of 2,525,988 lbs. during the same months a year earlier, or 343,724 lbs. more import ed this year than a year ago. De cember imports this year totaled 854,625 lbs. and January imports 997,497 lbs., compared with 592,618 lbs. imported In December and 669, 525 lbs. January, a year ago. FRANCE TO ADMIT FRUIT NOW AFLOAT Portland, Ore., March 21 (fP) IT E. Waterbury, of the bureau of For eign and Domestic commerce, said today that all American fresh ap ples and pears afloat and in ware houses and consigned to Prance will be admitted., despite quota reg ulations. This interpretation of a recent government announcement pleased shippers here. Continuation of Parents View Film Prom Page One placed before the flabbergasted Papa Dionne. Ollva Dionne agreed with her that this scene was not strictly ac curate. "It's crazy," he said. But in the main, he enjoyed hugely the screen portrayal of himself as a nervous, confused little man. Emerging 'from the theatre after the performance, the quintuplets' mother dabbed at her eyes and smiled wistfully. She lingered be fore posters bearing the pictures of her lively daughters and. said: "I am very proud. And I am also a little sad. I hope that some day we may be reunited." The Dionnes quickly identified each quintuplet In the picture. "C'est Yvonnel C'est Emelie! An nette . . . Cecile , . . et Marie!" they said. Several days of sightseeing are ahead for the quintuplets' parents. This is their first New York visit. Butter Situation Reflects Weakness Portland, Ore., March 21 (LP) Ac cumulating weakness continues to be shown In the butter situation locally. Butterfat market has held a fair ly strong tone with the better weather-and an Increasing demand for ice cream. Market for eggs continues to hold a firm tone with prices showing practically no further changes on the open market at the weekend. Record prices are held in the market for live chickens and espe cially for light weight Leghorn!'. which are very scarce In all coaat poMttons. There is a good movement of on ions but low prices are continued generally. Stocks held at country points are seasonably heavy. Scotts Mills--Mrs. Una Bellinger, who has been visiting In California for the past three months, has re turned to her daughter's home here, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Shepherd. Benef it Payments of $10 An Acre Offered to Farmers by New Plan Washington, March 21 (U.R) Benefit payments averag ing $10 an acre were offered farmers today for removal of 30,000,000 acres from intensive cultivation under the new soil conservation program replacing tne AAA. Details of the program, announc ed by Secretary of Agriculture Hen ry Wallace, provide expenditure of $440,000,000. in conserving the na tion's soil fertility this year, the first of the two year temporary program. "The new program represents a GIVES EXAMPLE OF WORKING OF FARM PROGRAM Washington, March 21 (P) A specific example of how the new soil conservation farm program would operate on one farm was outlined today by John B. Huston an AAA regional director. The example follows: Midwestern farmer owns 100 acres. He usually plants 60 acres of spring wheat; IS acres of rye; 10 acres of oats and the remainder in pasture of some form. His "soil dep'ting base acreage" would be those acres usually plant ed in wheat, rye and oats, a total of 85 acres. The AAA says, except in the case of cotton, tobacco, peanuts, sugar beets, sugar cane, flax and rice, that a farmer may not receive a subsidy payment for shifting more than 16 per cent of his "soil depleting" base to "soil conserving" crops. Fifteen per cent of 85 acres would be 12 acres. The farmer might elect to shift l'! acres of wheat land to a soil con serving crop. (His rye crop already would be planted at this time.) Supposing that the farmer had average yields, he would receive about $10 an acre foy shifting each acre of wheat land to a soil con serving crop. This would amount to $120. In addition, he might receive as much as $1 an acre for planting the 12 acres in a soil conserving crop. This would raise his payment to $132. Finally, if the farmer plowed un der his rye to improve the soil, he might receive as much as $1 an acre for the rye, or $15 for the 15 acres. The farmer's . payment for "soli conserving,' under AAA definitions, would be $120. His payment for "soil building" would be $12 for a crop replacing wheat, plus $15 for rye. The farmer thus would get a to tal of $147. LARGEST PAYROLL MAY QUIT STATE Portland, Ore., March 21 WP) Portland faced the loss of the larg est Individual payroll in Oregon to day. Harry A. Green, president or the Doernbecher Furniture company, ordered the night shift of 450 men laid off and said the remainder of the 1,600 employes will be released gradually. I The announcement followed a verdict in municipal court holding the Doernbecher company guilty of violating Portlands smoke-density ordinance. Municipal Judge Donald E. Long did not levy a penalty. Green said "We don't want to be a nuisance to our neighbors so we will move to another state." He de clared the furniture business was too highly competitive to permit In stallation of a new power plant, and remarked "We have prided ourselves on keeping men working during the depression, but we cannot continue in the face of this ordinance." The Doernbecher plant was established here in 1900 when the company moved from Chehalls, Wash. Walter. W. B. May, of the Port land chamber of commerce, said a special meeting of the chamber committee will be held today and commented "We did everything we could. It is terrible this had to happen " OREGON STUDIES TO BE COMPILED Bend, Ore., March 21 (P) C. C. Fisher, bureau of reclamation en gineer, headed for Denver today to compile extensive studies of irriga tion canal and dam sites in central Oregon. Test borings under his direction in 1934 Indicated that leaks might occur if a dam were built on the Deschutes river at the Benham Falls site. Subsequently he recommended the Wlklup site for the Deschutes dam. Last fall he charted a canal to carry water from the upper Des chutes into the Madras country, and made a soil depth study of north unit lands ' ' He projected a canal over Crooked river into Jefferson county. In the Crooked river area, Fisher's studies revealed that the post site is ideal for a reservoir location, water from which would be taken into the Ochoco basin from a low diversion dam near Prineville. HOME FROM COLLEGES Mt, Angel With spring vacation here, a number of college students are visiting at the homes of their parents here.

Wallace said he believed from an Immediate point of view that the new program may not be quite as effective as "the old one destroyed by the supreme court," but that from a long time point of view it may be "even more constructive." A soil conserving crop, it was ex plained, for which the farmer is paid $10 an acre may be turned under to qualify as a soil-building crop, adding the extra $t an acre. For the purpose of payment farmers who apply for payments will have their crops classified as soli depletion, soil -conserving and soil building. A fanner may claim payments only upon 15 per cent of his "base acreage" the amount he planted in soil-depleting crops last year. Soil depleting crops were defined as: Corn, cotton, tobacco, Irish po tatoes, sweet potatoes, rice, sugar cane, sugar beets, cultivated sun flowers, commercial truck and can ning crops, melons and strawberries, peanuts, grain and sweet sorghum and small grains including wheat. oats, barley, rye. buckwheat, flax, emmer, speltz and grain mixtures. Payments are to be divided be tween landlord and tenant where each shares in the crop or its pro ceeds. Administration will be through state committees, county and com munity committees and the AAA. Every farmer will be eligible to participate in the new program. whereas the AAA was restricted to certain crops. AAA officials esti mated 80 per cent of farmers would cooperate. A base acreage will be established for each farm. The AAA will estab lish ratios of soil depleting crop lands to total farm lands for each county. Then the county committee will set up the Individual bases. WHEAT SHOWS SOME DECLINE Chicago, March 21 (Pj Likelihood of crop benefits by rain or snow predicted for Kansas and Nebraska had a bearish effect today on wheat values.

Wheat closed easy,- at the same as yesterday's finish to lowei, May July 88, corn down, May 59-59, oats unchanged to off, and provisions 2 cents to 20 cents up. Wheat sold down today to a new low on the . present movement of prices. A cent a bushel overnight drop was quickly witnessed. On top oi prospects of some drought relief for domestic winter wheat crops in the southwest and west, sellers fout.d incentive in reports that the spring moisture situation northwest was exceptionally favorable. Corn and oats weakened, ignor ing an official estimate making the probable Argentine corn crop near ly 100,000.000 bushels smaller than last season's record yield. Provisions reflected signs that ex port business was in progress. Sips for Supper By DON UPJOHN fConttnued from page 1) chard when around.
