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.

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.

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.
The proposal was expected to be
considered this afternoon when un
ion and company representatives
confer with federal and state me
diators. Turkey Market

Portland, Nov. 28 CP) The turkey
market was nominal here today with

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.

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.

Coast Hop
Markets Stay
Extremely Dull
Hop markets on tne Pacific coast
continued extremely dull and In
active but maintained nominally
steady to firm tone during the week
ended November 25, states the week
ly hop market review of the bureau
of agricultural economics. 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

The estimated production of fil

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

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.
