Newspaper Page TextTUESDAY. APRIL 21, 1936 14 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM, OREGON STOCKS CLIMB IN LAST HOURS ON GOOD NEWS New York, April 21 (LP) A vat array ol favorable news, Including optimistic statements by business leaders turned the stock market up In the last hour today after a sc sion of erratic movements, Bonds failed to participate In the recovery. Commodities were mixed In a narrow ranne with principal grains slightly higher. The dollar was barely changed In terms of for eign currencies. American water works was up In moderately active turnover on the statement of Its president that re sumption of dividends would be con sidered when tax legislation was oal of the way. Chrysler's president told stock holders that orders were well above 1935 which In itself set a new rec-1 ord. His statement together with es-1 ti mates the corporation will report net equal to $2.50 a share for the first quarter sent the slock up more ! than a point and steadied other motor shares. Steel shares were mixed fn the face of further gains. Dow-Jones estimated operations at 70 per cent up 4 points from a week ago. The U. S. Steel corporation was placed at 64 per cent up 2 points, while operations of Independents soared 5'4 points to 74 'i per cent, the high est for this season since 1930. Railroad shares steadied after early Irregularity. Car loadings for the week ended last Saturday ura expected to show another gain over the previous week. Lumber traffic was helping Northern Pacific, its president said. Dow Jones preliminary closing av erages showed: Industrial 153.36, up 0.96; railroad 46.16, oft 0.25; utility 31.30, up 0.05. Volume approximated 1,880,000 shares compared with 1, 650,000 yesterday. Curb sales were 451,000 shares comparea with 448,000 shares yesterday. PRliNEEXPORT PLAN FORMED The Federal Trade commission, has announced from Washington approval of the filing of notice of Intention under the Wcbb-Pomerenc Act to organize the California Prune Export association, says the Califor nia Fruit News. This latter was ac tually completed a month ago and was originally organized for a three months' term but mny be extended. It comprises the Important packers who are present owners of prunes In . California, six firms in nil, and was established primarily to stabilize the price structure on our prunes sold abroad. Other questions of Im proving and enlarging our prune ex port trade and making It more pro fitable are possible of being worked ' out under this prune export organ ization. Dwight K. Grady, secretary of the Dried Fruit association of California, Is the secretary of the new export organization. The federal export trade law pro vides opportunity for exemption ' from the anti-trust laws for associ ations organized to operate In ex porting and this new organization has been perfected because its cur rent need of operating Is in a smal ler field than the generalities of the whole dried fruit export business, which Is covered by our Dried Fruit Export association.'

He added that the Australian wheat surplus was de creasing rapidly, and that Austral ian wheat was held higher than Canadian. Wheat closed mixed, fii off to sk up compared with yesterday's fin ish. May 99 Ti -1.00, July 91 -, corn unchanged to higher, May 63-63'.8, oats down, and provi sions showing 5 to 35 cents decline. Chicago. April 21 (LP) Wheat fu tures rallied sharply on the board of trade late today after an early slump of a cent a bushel on moisture reports from the drought areas. The recovery was due to short covering on advices that rains had been too light to be of material benefit. At the close May and July were up Vz cent net and l'& cent above the low, September was off U cent net but cent above its low. Corn closed unchanged to Vi cent higher, oats H to U cent lower and rye hi to cent lower. May displayed most resistance to the decline reflecting firmness in the cash market. Reports of a good export business and belief clearances out of Canada soon after the open ing of navigation will be heavy were reflected In a better tone at Winni peg, aiding the local market. Reports of rain came from scat tered sections of the southwest belt. However, most advices said precipla tion was light and would do little to aid crops which arc deteriorating rapidly in some sections. MILLION DOLLAR LOSS IN SHARON, PA FIRE Sharon. Pa..

ROSEBURG VOTES ROAD RELOCATION Roscburg. Ore., April 21 iA) The Roscburg city council by resolution last night consented to the state highway commission's proposal for relocation of the Pacific highway through the city of Roseburg. De spite considerable local opposition to the change, the vote on the res olution was 7 to 1. , The highway re-routing will re move the highway two blocks from the center of the business district and will require the extension of Stephens street northward to the north city limits. The new route will be directly through the city, eliminating two right angle turns and one angle street. Construction of a concrete and steel bridge will be required and much valuable right-of-way through a residential district will be necessitated. The road grading and bridge con struction is expected to cost in the neighborhood of $83,000, while the purchase of right-of-way is ex pected to bring the total cost in ex cess of $200,000.

The passes, rising 12.000 feet, lie about 60 miles from Addis Ababa, one-third the distance to Dessye. Hundreds of newly armed volun teers were moving northward toward the mountains to take up stations for the anticipated battle. In event the Italians arc not halt ed in the mountains, the Ethiopians are expected to carry on guerilla fighting. The Addis Ababa radio station communicated today with the gov ernment's wireless station at Warra Hailu, in the presence of an Asso-1 elated Press representative, and es- j tablished that the Italian army can not be more than 30 miles south of i Dessyc, which it captured last Wed nesday and left immediately after ward in a dash toward the capital. This indicated a possibility the Italians may be taking the longer eastern road via the Danakil desert, which leads to Addis Ababa via An kober and also to Hawash, the site of the Ethiopian railway's largest bridge. The flight of natives from the capital continued. Many foreigners slept last night in legation grounds where soup kit chens have been functioning. Capt. John Meade, American military attache who spent nine months with the Ethiopian armies in the north, will entrain tomorrow for Djibouti. The government reported the Ethiopians still held Daggah Bur and Sasa Baneh, on the southern front. There were no serious consequen ces of yesterday's run on the bank of Ethiopia, as the bank had vir tually complete silver coverage. In addition, no person has been permitted to take out of the country more than five silver tnaicrs. The bank, however, was proceed ing with plans to close Thursday. OBITUARY MRS.

Twenty more volunteers arrived '.cday from the New Glasgow dis trict mines, fifty mojc left Stcllar-ton. No one knew the txact physical condition of the two prisoners.
