Bonds and most commodities were easier. Leading stocks were hard hit. There were a few gainers, Including Dunhlll International, which rose mora than point. Gold mining Issues were firm early, but lost their small gains before the dose- Causes for the decline Included belief that business would level off In early 1939, tax selling, the unset tled French situation, uncertainty over the course of the pound sterling and fears over the scope of the monopoly Investigation. The market opened Irregular with a fair sprinkling of gains. It turned down Immediately with metal Issues hard hit. After they had registered declines ranging to nearly three points In Bethlehem Steel they ate' died and moved narrowly. Copper shares were depressed for a time on a further softening In the price of the metal abroad. V. 8. Steel touched 81, off 3, and Beth lehem 88, off 1. They came back partially from the lows of the day. Railroad Issues were down fraC' tlons to more than a point Utilities had losses of fractions to more than a point Aviation issues joined the decline and losses of a point or more were noted in Douglas, Olenn Martin and Boeing.

Sharp Demand For Hop Loans With the set-up for commodity credit hop loans perfected here, demands for loans are coming In rapidly and already work on appll cation covering several thousand bales of Oregon hops has been com- pleted and the money ready to go out to the growers. John Throne, formerly connected with the Willamette Production Credit association. Is In charge of the offices here and the offices have been established in connection with those of the hop control board on the seventh floor of the First Na tional bank building. Sampling rooms, however, have been set up In the second floor of a State street building In the same block as con siderably more room Is required for that purpose than was available In connection with the control board office. With all the machinery now m motion the loan application can be handled rapidly from the filing of the application through the samp ling and grading necessary before the loan can be completed. It Is estimated that fully 40,000 bales of hops will be covered by these loans In the three coast states.

The Boaton wool market was very quiet today. Both holders and users or wool were showing a waiting atti tude.

Nor. 3( (4V Four persons were killed today when a Royal Australian alrforre plane crashed near Alberton ferry, 90 miles from Brisbane American Nut Outlook for Europe Better Prospects for American walnuts in the markets of northwestern Eur ope during the 1938-39 shipping season are better than for several years, the bureau of agricultural economics states, because of the smaller than expected walnut crop harvsted In Europe this fall. The reduced fruit crops harvested In most European countries and the very small crop of filberts also con tribute to the Improved prospects, says the California Fruit News. An especially good demand for American walnuts is anticipated from Oreat Britain where the frost damage to fruit crops was especial ly severe. British consumers, more over, were well satisfied with the price and quality of the American walnuts sold there last season. An Improved demand Is also expected from Belgium, the Netherlands and Scandinavian countries. Most of the requirements of Germany and other central European countries, however, will be supplied by the Danube basin and Turkey. The European walnut crop Is es timated at 1,595,000 bags compared with 1,905,000 bags in 1937. A larg er crop would have been harvested except for drought losses. The 1938-30 exportable surplus In Eur ope Is expected to be considerably below that of 1937-38, not only be cause of the smaller crop but also because practically all old crop stocks In the European producing countries were exhausted and re duced fruit supplies in some of them will encourage increased do mestic consumption of walnuts. says the department of agriculture. Peace Offer in Stocks Strike Chicago, Nov. 28 U.R CIO lead ers offered today to end the week old strike which has paralyzed the Chicago livestock market if the Un ion Yard and Transit company would negotiate for a written contract. Tho offer was made after an at tempt to re-open the market with American Federation of Labor stock handlers had failed. AFL leaders an nounced 350 handlers had returned ! to work but a survey of the yards at j 10:30 a m. showed only three AFLl men at work. The offer of a settlement was made by Van A. Bittner, director of the Congress of Industrial Organiza tions' drive to organize the packing industry. The striking handlers are members of a union affiliated with the CIO's packing house workers organizing committee. Bittner proposed that the men re turn to work while the union and the company negotiate the other Issues on which the strike was called last Monday a closed shop, the check off, time and one-half for overtime and pay Increases for 65 men receiv ing less than 62 H cents an hour.

Stopping en route to a meeting of the Texas state grange after the National Orange convention in Portland, Ore., Taber said the ex ecutive committee of the grange was committed to the proposition that Holman Protests Tractor Purchase The board of control approved today the state highway depart ment's recommendation on pur chase of several large tractors, de spite a protest by the Internation al Harvester corporation which sub mitted a bid 81.500 lower which did not meet the specifications. The department, through Chair man Henry F. Cabell, said that the International tractors would not be satisfactory, and warned the board that to change the specifications would break down the depart' ment's jvirchaslng system. State Treasurer Rufus C. Hol man said he felt that the Interna tional tractors were satisfactory and that the department did not survey the tractor field before drawing up the specifications. "I protest the wasting of $1,500 of taxpayers' money to accept tne de partment's recommendations,' Hol man said, "Inasmuch as the Inter national tractors would do the work.

He recently returned from the Mayo brothers hospital In Minnesota, where he was under ob servation for his eyes. f 1 I Pi (U.R) Louis J. Taber, master of the lull text today of the or for agriculture" designed to the American farmer does not want to be subsidized and neither does he want charity. Simultaneously, the executive committee made public a 15-polnt program evolved as the result of ac tion taken at the recent Portland convention. The platform resolved to "permit no legislation to be adopted which will result In either Immediate or eventual regimentation" of farmers. It advocated amendment and "sim plification" of the federal farm act. and opposed any concentration "of authority or Infringement of state's rights." The committee said lt would fight for a requirement that all trade treaties be subjected to senate rati- flcatlon, and that their provisions be made available for study by far mers and their representatives. The program called for prices consistent with the American atan dard of living, and development of a "sound rural credit program" by keeping Interest rates for farm loans as low as possible. It also advocated "taking the profit" out of war, and enactment of the strong est possible neutrality legislation. The platform supported a plan for drafting of "capital and Industry as well as man power In time of national conflict." Other points in the program ad vocated balancing of the budget; taxation based on ability to pay, or for services received; re-employ ment by private Industry as the greatest step toward national re covery: extension of modern stan dards of living to rural homes; fair treatment for railroads, and continuation of private ownership. Steady Gains in Business Reported Washington. Nov. 38 (U.& Steady gains in business Indices encour aged administration leaders today after four months of the new deal's second pump priming program.

Demand was seasonally slow from both do mestic and foreign buyers but lack of selling pressure from growers tn the three coast states tended to off set the light inquiry and to Impart steadiness to the general situation. Availability of federal loans to grow ers on their 1938 hops, which many growers were reported indicating an intention to obtain, was an import ant strengthening market factor. Prices to producers on the west coast reflected steadiness In eastern markets and were nominally un changed compared with other recent weeks. Oregon markets were Inactive dur ing the past week with no sales by growers reported. Demand was slow from both domestic and foreign buy ers and offerings were light. In the absence of actual transactions, quo tations to producers were reported nominally unchanged from last week, or about 20 cents per pound for good quality 1938 clusters. The slow domestic demand was indicated as principally due to deliveries on contract and early season sales which were supplying most needs of brewers. Growers were not pressing their remaining supplies for sale with trade reports Indicating many producers Indicating Intentions of availing themselves of the loan priv ilege. There was no Interest shown in 1937 or older hops with values on these growths remaining nominal Washington markets also were re ported Inactive with no sales by growers reported in eithv the Yaki ma valley or western Washington districts during the period. The mar ket tone was generally steady with lack of selling pressure from pro ducers about offsetting the season ally slow demand. California hop markets were sea sonally dull but maintained a steady tone during the past week as light se'.llng pressure from growers tended to counterbalance the slow demand from the trade. Sales by growers were limited to 39 bales of 1938 hops which netted Sacramento valley growers 20c per pound. The slow Inquiry from domestic dealers and industries was attributed to the usage of stocks accumulated earlier in the season. Reports from the treasury depart ment Indicate production of fer mented malt liquor In the United States during October totaled 3. 595.274 barrels, as compared with 3,831.087 barrels produced during October, 1937. Production during the four months this year. July through October, has totaled 18.399.845 bar rels aa against 21.238.652 barrels during the comparable period a year ago. 60 Per Cent of Turkeys Marketed Medford. Ore.. Nov. 38 nl.R) Coun ty Agent R. O. Powler reported ap proximately 60 per cent of the Rogue valley turkey crop was mar keted for Thanksgiving. Of the 40.000 birds shipped from here this year the majority went to 8 an Francisco areas where a shortage in prime turkeys in the few days preceding the holiday boomed the price as much as 3 cents s pound on some grades.

Spain and Tur key combined the most recently cab led advice from the U. S. agricul tural attache at Paris shows 22,400 short tons less than as of three or four months earlier, says the Cali fornia Fruit News. The Spanish es timate (which is difficult at best to express at all), Is left as In the re port sent from Europe under date of July 29 last as 28.000 short tons on unshelled basis. The filbert pro duction this year for Italy, however. Is now estimated at 17,000 tons, as against 23,000 tons In the earlier re-, port, and for Turkey the total prey ductlon Is now estimated at 28,609 tons, rather than 45,000 as estimated last summer. These three countries together tn 1937 are figured to have produced 128,400 short tons of filberts on un shelled basis, and accordingly, the 1938 production as now estimated at 73,600 tons is very short. The 1938 European filbert production, as thus estimated, la In fact the smallest since 1933, which was practically the same and their production of filberts has not been lower than this year since 1929.
