Newspaper Page TextTHE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1936 STOCKS SOAR THEN DROP ON PROFIT TAKING New York. Sept. 21 (IP) The stock market rose to new high (round ulnce 1931 In early trading today with volume at a rate of more than 3,000,000 shares lor a full day and later encountered profit taking that brought Irregularity. Utilities were the nearest thing to a sensation the market has had dur ing the . summer. Initial blocks ranging to 30,000 shares of Com monwealth and Southern brought the first hour's sales to 640.000 shares. Thereafter dealings light ened but the total was around the best since July. Impetus for the buying In utilities was furnished by President Roose velt's call for a conference on the Tennessee valley authority situa tion. That conference will discuss TV A contracts which expire Novem ber 3. Utility men hope some agree ment can be reached that will elim inate the uncertainty over govern ment operation In the utility busi ness. Commonwealth and Southern has the largest stake of any utility corn many In the TA area. As a result the heaviest operations centered on Its stock. Railroad issues were watched carefully for a clue to the market's future. Their early performance In breaking through the high In the average was adjudged favorably. However, when they failed to hold the gains, operators became cau tious. Steels made small gains and then eased. Dealings were moderately active. News from the industry con tinued favorable. Automobile Issues made fair gains in light trading during the morning and then eased to around the previ ous close. Dow Jones preliminary closing averages showed: Industrial 168.90 off 0.03. railroads 56.36 unchanged; utility 34.41 off 0.09. Transactions approximated 1.770. 000 shares compared with 1.273,870 on Friday. Curb sales approximated 272.000 shares compared with 267, 000 shares Friday. HOP SALES REFUSED AT 40 AND 45 CENTS Corvallis Hop growers of the county are refusing sales at 40-45 cent for thin year's crop. Harvest ing of the 1036 crop has left growers and buyers In a muddle. Offerings of from 40 to 45 cents for the new crop, price depending upon quality, the meeting almost universal re fusals from governors. Pointing to the spectacular ad vance in prices of 600 per cent in the last three months, combined with a smaller crop than estimated, due to the increased shrinkage in drying, growers prefer to await an expected raise In prices. Growers report that as high as 23 boxes are needed to attain usual weight In a bale, where 18 or 17 la ordinarily sufficient. Many hops are reported to be seedless, which makes a lighter crop, but one preferred by the brewers. Sale of 1935 hops is report ed to be moving slowly at 30 cents per pound.

Sept. 21 (flV-Late esti mates that three to four million bushels of Canadian wheat were purchased today for export did much to whirl breadstuff prices to lofty heights everywhere. Minneapolis and Liverpool wheat markets soared to new top quota tions, Liverpool the highest in more than six years. Heavy selling to re alize profits led to reactions from advances In Chicago. Contrasting with wheat, corn suf fered a tumble of four cents for September contracts, the extreme permissible limit. wheat closed nervous, above Saturday's finish, Sept. 1.14?, Dec. 1.13--V corn -V down, sept. 1.11-1.11, Dec. 94'-i, oats H-'i off, and provisions unchanged to 27 cents lower. Barley Sept. close 84V4, Dec. 77. Chicago. Sept. 21 IP) Forecasts for an increase in European imports during the coming season induced catlve buying of wheat futures on the Chicago board of trade today. Prices advanced for net gains of a cent a bushel before selling pres.. sure Increased noticeably. At the close wheat was up H to Sept. 114a4, corn was down to 4 cents, Sept. Ill, oats were down! 4 to Vt cent. Sept. 42-' cents, rye: was unchanged to up li, Sept, 82 cents. The main factor behind the day's strength was Broomhall's revision of his estimate on world Import re quirements. He advanced his figure to 536.000.000 bushels, 24.000.000 more ; than his previous estimate. The Liv-! erpool market advanced V to 27id and Winnipeg followed with sharp gains. I Prices on the Chicago market opened higher on a broad buying i movement. Around $1.14' for the December resting orders to sell were uncovered but buying power waa sufficient to maintain the gains. The world wheat situation was acain the center of Interest. The French wheat crop was reported poor. Italy was reported to have bought more Canadian wheat and is said to be negotiating for 18,500.- 000 bushels of Rumanian wheat on special terms. Corn ran counter to the trend in wheat, the September delivery de clining about four cents a bushel under selling induced by a decline in cash corn prices. Oats opened higher but reacted in sympathy with corn. Rye closed with small net gains. " DUROC JERSEY SHIPPED BY MILLER Silverton Tom Miller, prominent in local and state F. F. A. pro jects and organizations, shipped a Duroc Jersey gilt to Bonanza, Ore., where the swine will be used for breeding purposes in Klamath coun ty project contests.

OPENING PRICES FOR FILBERTS The three co-operatives handling nuts were scheduled today to an nounce opening prices on filberts averaging about 2 cents higher than opening prices last season, accord' ing to advices received from Port land. The new wholesale quotations fol low: Barcelonas, Jumbo, 18 cents per pound: large, 17 cents; fancy, 16 cents; baby, 15 cents. Du Chillys, large, 19'i cents: fancy, 18 cents; baby, 16 cents. AU prices are f o b. packing plant. Oregon this year has the largest filbert crop the state has ever pro duced. The latest government report estimated the yield at 1200 tons. Last year the crop was 871 tons and the average for the previous five years was 300 tons. The crop is steadily increasing as more new trees come into bearing. The sharp advance in filbert pri ces this year Is due largely to Spain's civil war. That country nor mally supplies a large part of the European filbert demand and ex ports nuts as well to the United States. This season, with the Spanish crop entirely eliminated from the market, there has been an unprece dented demand all over Europe for Italian filberts, the only other large supply available. This has caused prices to climb rapidly In the for eign markets. WALNUT CODE AMENDMENTS Washington, Sept. 21 (LP) The agricultural adjustment administra tion today announced tentative ap proval of amendments to the mar keting agreement for handlers of walnuts grown in California, Oregon and Washington. The amendment, before becom-1 ing effective, must be signed by handlers under the agreement and the secretary of agriculture must determine that the amendments are favored by at least two- third of the I producers by number or by volume of walnuts grown. One amendment would establish for the crop year ending August 31, 1937, the salable percentage of walnuts at 75 per cent and the sur plus percentage at 25 per cent. The saleable percentage was 70 per cent andthe surplus percentage 30 per cent for the crop year, ending Sept. 1, 1936. Walnuts of the salable per centage may be sold in the domestic market as unshelled walnuts and walnuts of the surplus percentage may be sold either in the domestic market as shelled, walnuts or ex ported. Because of the short crop in Washington and Oregon this year, another amendment would exempt from the surplus obligation provi sions walnuts produced In those two states during the present drop year and handled during the year. Any packer of such walnuts may at his option meet in full or part the sur plus obigation that would be im posed by the agreement if the ex emption were not in effect- Other amendments seek to clarify the agreement.
