down 3 to S points. Automobile is
sues dropped with Chrysler. Oen

Motor equipments lost on a lesser
scale.
Farm equipments followed Case

special Issues were depressed.
Losses ranging to 3 points were
made by American Smelting, Ana
conda and Kennecott. Demand for
copper lightened abroad and the
price fell a few points.
Sales were 1.480,120 shares, ap
proximately 420,000 coming in the
final hour's sell-off. Yesterday sales
were 961,900 shares. Curb sales ap
proximated 365,000 shares compared

POTATO PRICES
MUCH HIGHER
Portland, Aug. 31 (JPt Prices aver
aging "much higher" 'than for any
season since 1925-26 are in prospect
for Oregon Potato growers, the U.
S. Department of agriculture said
today.
The deterioration of the late crop
In July, the Improvement of demand
and prospects of a crop as well as
those of 1925 and 1929 combined
to offer unusual price opportun
ities, the department said.
A recent forecast of the depart
ment put the Oregon production at
6.880,000 bushels, compared to 5,670,
000 bushels In 1935 and a five-year
average of 6,084.000.
The United States farm price of
70 cents in the 1935-36 season Is
expected to be doubled this year
and may go three times above the
47-cent average of 1934-35. On July
15, the average farm price of po
tatoes was $1.41 a bushel, compared
to I1J7 In June and 51 cents a year
ago.

HIGHER WAGES
ESTABLISHED IN
CANNERIES HERE
Wage raises by three local can
nerlea have been announced and

men from 32 'i cents to 40 cents an
hour. The piece work provision thai
at least half the women working on
piece work shall make 30 cents an
hour will be retained.
California Packing corporation
Reid. Murdoch & Company and
Hunt brothers have posted notices
as to the Increases and report here
was that Libby, McNeil & Llbby Is
doing the same thing in Portland.
While there was talk that other
canners might take the same steps
some were pondering iu feasibility
as they stated future sales had been
made on a basis of the former wage
and also California competition was
referred to as another fly in the
ointment.
The raise was offered voluntarily
by the canners based on increased
hvlng costs for the workers and al
so possibility of higher prices for
fruit.
While the raise was being extend

were to the effect that 250 workers
In the Hunt brothers cannery at
Puyallup had gone on strike when

NO CHANGE
BUTTER, EGGS
Portland, Ore., Aug. 21 (IP) There
were no open changes In egg prices
lor the day but values were mixed
as were qualities on so-called ex
tras. Undertone of the butter market
Is weak but there is a general dis
position on the part of the trade to
uphold values to bolster their spec
ulative positions. No change for the
day.
There Is a good demand, for can
taloupes but prices are relatively
low for the early movement. Dil
lards are generally selling $1.50 with
some selections 25c higher.
Peach movement is quite brisk
with liberal supplies.
Tomato market Is 5 to 10c box
higher with an extremely good call.
Pea market Is quite active for
both Seaside and Roads' End offer
ings. Price steady.
Onion market is firmer.
Watermelon trade is slower, es
pecially the tee creams.
Continuation of
Governor Landon
From Page 1
of the great Jury of the people.
Devoting most of his remarks at
stops late yesterday to government,
Landon asserted:
"We have seen in the last three
years more Important measures Jam
med through congress without any
consideration whatever slapped to
gether in hasty fashionthan we
have ever seen In any other three
year period of our country.H
"We need a congress that will not
abdicate one of Its most Important
functions under the constitution:
that is. of consideration and debate."
"The way to remedy that situa
tion Is to elect a republican con
gress" "There are many things that gov
ernment should do, but I think we
want those things without squan
dering our money .
ETHIOPIA LACKS

Platinum was discovered last cen

oft in production appeared in the
western pine industry in the past
week, a weekly review of the West
ern Pine association showed today.
While orders leaped ahead to 15.
242.000 board feet against 67.647.000
a week ago and 41.626,000 for the
same week a year ago. production
slumped to 76.851.000 feet against
76.997.000 a week ago and 72312,000
for the same week a year ago.
It was the first decline in pro
duction In some weeks.
HOP YARDS SHY
OF PICKERS AS
SEASON OPENS
A shortage of pickers Is said to be
still facing the larger hopyards al
though with prospective shutdown
of WPA work to assist In harvest
ing of the crop it is expected the
labor situation may change as the
heavy demand for pickers comes on
with advent of late cluster picking.
As a sample of the situation the
Livesley Lakebrook yard where pick
ing Is expected to start next Tues
day will need 1200 pickers and 950
are registered. This Is said to be
about proportionate to the situation
in the other large yards.
At the Livesley yard fuggle pick
ing starts Tuesday, a little later
than the average yaro as the plan
Is to work right through when pick
ing starts. Early clusters in this
yard are expected to start about
alcng with the lates.
Report was had today that Ray
has bought 75 bales of the 1935 crop
at 30 cents and 22 bales of me'
diums at 26 cents, also from the
1935 crop. No new contracts are re
ported and otherwise the situation
In the spot market remains quiet
with probably 7500 bales of last
year's crop still left unsold in the
state.
Report received today advised that
beer sales in July of this year ag
grevated 6.808.934 barrels as com
pared to 5.611.365 during July of
1935, or 1,197,469 more barrels sold
this year, an Increase of 21.3.
This in itself, dealers said, indicated
one of the strong and very valid
reasons for a rising hop market.
Clyde Livesley who arrived in the
city with his family from Yakima
yesterday afternoon for a visit said
that picking Is just getting under
wav there. Hushes being ready to
start in early clusters yesterday. He
says there has been some spider
in the Yakima yards but not ser
ious and downy mildew has done no
damage.

Continuation of
Liberal Leaders
From Page 1
Coughlln's National Union for So
cial Justice which has endorsed the
union party ticket, was made this
week by Olson. He telegraphed
Senator Robert M. LaPollette,
(Prog., Wis.), co-sponsor of the pro
gressive conference, that the 1936
choice lay between Mr. Roosevelt
and Governor Landon. He insisted
"liberals must unite in 1937 to re
elect Franklin Roosevelt."
"If we liberals." he continued, "by
splitting our vote place Landon In
office we will have performed an act
for which we never will be for
given." Olson will not be present at the
Chicago meeting but the LaFollette
brothers. Senator Robert and Gov
ernor Phil, are expected to pledge
the Wisconsin progressive organiza
tion to the new deal.
This alliance, with Mr. Roosevelt
however, will not extend much be
yond November. The executive
board ot the farmer-labor progres
sive federation of Wisconsin and the
farmer labor party of Minnesota
announced they had merged to cre
ate 'a unified national farmer-labor
party for the congressional cam
paign ot 193 and the presidential
campaign of 190."

TAPERING OFF
OF BUSINESS
NOT SERIOUS
New York, Aug. 21 (TP) Oeneral
business activity during this week
gave only slight indication of taper
ing off to the usual August dullness.
Dun & Bradstreet said today in Its
trade review of the week.
Consumer buying assurrred a more
leisurely pace, the agency said, the
hot weather making for less Inter
est in fall merchandise, but remain
ing stocks of summer items moved
out rapiqly.
Wholesale volume was about the
same as in the preceding week with
more attention devoted to higher
priced items. With the unexpected
rebound of industrial operations,
some of the heavy goods divisions
were near the high rate for the
year, the review said.
"Record high temperatures in
some districts, as the heat wave
worked Its way across the country.
reduced distribution at most cities
by 3 to 8 per cent for the week." the
review said. "This shortened the es
timated increase of retail sales to
10 to 12 per cent over the corres
ponding 1935 volume, taking the
country as a whole."
The rise from last year's total in
the New England states was 8 to
12 per cent; in the east sales aver
aged 12 to 15 per cent above a year
ago; retail volume in the. mid-west
ranged from 10 to 20 per cent high
er than in 1935, while the Increase
In the south and southwest was 20
to 25 per cent. On the Pacific coast
it was 15- to 18 per cent higher.
LUMBER FEELS
LABOR THREAT
Seattle, Aug. 21 OP) The West
Coast Lumbermen's association re
ported today the lumber situation
In Washington and Oregon ap
peared to be fairly normal for the
time of year with the outlook
"complicated by the threat of long
shore trauble again this fall."
"Lumbermen still remember the
summer of 1934 when within a very
short time all the waterfront mills
were down due to longshore labor
trouble," the association said In
connection with its weekly produc
tion report.
The association said the lumber
industry was protesting through it
the proposed increase in the east
bound freight rate from $12.50 per
thousand board feet of lumber to
$13.00.
Hearings were held in Seattle last
week before a U. S. shipping board
bureau representative on a petition
by the water carriers to increase
freight rates.
"Little change has been recorded
during the past four weeks tn rela
tionship of production and orders,"
the association said.

CORN IMPORTS
DROP PRICES
Chicago. Aug. 21 (IP) Record
breaking shipments of corn report
ed on the way to the United States
from the Argentine generated sell
ing of all corn futures today on the
Chicago board of trade.
At the close corn was off 1 to I1!.
Sept. 1.12'. wheat was unchanged
to up . Sept. tl.13'.; oats were
off U to S. Sept. 4314 cents.
Reports were that preparations
are being made to handle the larg
est volume of imported corn on rec
ord, and a heavy selling movement
resulted in the corn pit. The lower
trend was accelerated by good rams
over-night In Iowa. September and
May futures led the Initial setback.
Commission houses were prominent
sellers.
Trading In new crop futures was
rather small but . relatively wide
fluctuations were In evidence In
September. Reports that 2.250.000
bushels of corn were shipped to the
United States from the Argentine
this week confirmed fears that for
eign corn will be available in inter
ior markets and placed additional
pressure on the futures.
Wheat prices rallied alter an ear
ly setback in response to the upturn
in Minneapolis. The announcement
that the Canadian government
would not change the minimum
price level for wheat generated sell
ing at the opening. The failure of
Winnipeg and Kansas City to re
flect the rally here was a depress
ing factor.
Oats displayed an easy tone in a
relatively quiet market. Rye prices
fluttered within a narrow range.
ORDER HEARING
ON SATIN MOTH
Washington, Aug. 21 (Pi The de
partment of agriculture today called
a public hearing for scptemDer 14
to consider the advisability of revis
ing the domestic satin moth quaran
tine. In the event of a decision against
adding Oregon, department officials
said they would consider revoking
the quarantine since they believed
It would be ineffective unless It In
duced all infested territory.
"Rcently the Insect was discovered
In Oregon." a department announce
ment said. "It appears necessary,
therefore, either to revoke the quar
antine or to Include Oregon in the
quarantine now governing the other
infested states."
The satin moth, the department
said, has been known to exist for
several years in some areas ot Con
necticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New
Hampsire. Rhode Island, Vermont
and Washington. The quarantine
applying to those areas prohibits the
movement from infested areas of
poplar and willow trees or parts of
these trees capable of propagation.
PRUNE DIVISION
PROGRAM PUZZLES
Washington, Aug. 21 AV-Diffi
culty in determining the tonnage to
be included in a proposed sub
standard prune diversion program
for the Pacific coast was reported
by farm officials.
With estimates of the sub-stand
ard fruits in this year's prospective
crop of 189.000 tons running as high
as ten per cent, general crops sec
tion experts were "finding it con
siderable of a struggle" to deter
mine the tonnage to be diverted to
by-products channels.
"We do not expect a decision now
before next week," a spokesman
said.
Earlier In the week H. C. Dunlay,
president of the California Prune
and Apricot Growers association.
had indicated California growers
would harvest a crop of 156.000 tons
this season, with Oretton and Wash
ington growers contributing an ad
ditional 33.000 tons. Slightly more
than 10.000 tons of substandard
prunes were diverted by by-products
uses last year, but they were of the
1634 crop.
