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.

HAS OPEN HOUSE
Hubbard Open house was held
Saturday by the Hubbard Creamery
company with Garfield VoRet, pres

show the new cooling plant. The
system Is housed in a new build
ing to the rear of the creamery and
attached by a covered driveway. It
Is .1. hv .0 fa, anri u
thermo control system, each of the
approximate 300 lockers being op
erated Individually. The ice ma
chine is practically noiseless, being
one of the feather valve type. Wor
thington Carbondale, which has
proven successful as it has been
on the market for almost a hundred
years. The machine was installed
by William Bender with Ted Hehn
as technician.
According to Voget the commun
ity wanted a plant of this sort and
lockers are rapidly being spoken
for. All lockers are air spaced on
all sides and the temperature will
be ten degrees above zero. The
pre-cooler with a temperature a few
degrees above freezing, will present
storage space for beverages and
some types of fruits.
As the machine uses 14 gallons
of water per minute to cool the com
presses a water tower and tank was
installed In order to use the water
again and again after it is cooled.
All this Is automatic.

Milk Control Board
Rebuked by Council
Klamath Falls, Ore., Sept. 21 Ai
Action of the state milk control
board In placing three local cream
eries on probation for selling
"heavy" cream below the board's
minimum scale brought a sharp
letter of condemnation from the
city council. Members went on re
cord favoring the abolition of any
group permitted or required to pen
alize firms "giving customers too
much for their money."
CANADIANSALES
SHOVE WHEAT UP
Chicago. 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.

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

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.
The gilt was from a May 15 lit
ter and weighed even 100 pounds.
Miller sent the silt by railway
express Friday afternoon with an
all night ride to her destination.
The Klamath county F. F. A.'s
wifhed two other swine from Mil
ler's herd but none was' available.
The crate used for shipping was
made by Miller and was considered
exceptionally fine for such purposes
and will be returned to Miller.
Miller has been outstanding in
the Smith-Hughes work directed by
Warren E. Crabtree, before and af
ter his finishing the agricultural
course several years ago. He man
ages a large acreage for growing
grain and hay and has an enviable
start in the line of animal husban
dry. HULLING FINISHED
Bethel Red clover hulling was
finished on the Walter Baker farm
a few days ago. The seed was a
light crop this season, averaging
about 65 pounds per acre.
Alsike clover seed, which was
hulled a cmiple of weeks ago on the
Kirscher farm, yielded over five
hundred pounds per acre.
Charles Wheeler Denlson. the
clergyman and author, was born in
Connecticut In 1809 and died In 1881.
2 CENT RAISE .
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.
