Makes Stocks
Break Sharply
New York, Jan. 21 UJD Stocks
broke sharply today on uncertainties
over the foreign situation. Losses
extended to 3 points In the recently
strong American telephone capital
stock.
Trading Increased to such propor
tions that midway In the last hour
tickers were behind the market sev
eral minutes. The tape caught up
In a short time.
Steel and copper shares were hard
hit. No group was spared as the
selling spread. Recently strong util
ities succumbed and were down
more than a point in some instan
ces. Some selling was attributed to be
lated response to the Schacht dis
charge yesterday and to the release
of two of his aides in the relchs
bank. Worry over outcome of the
Spanish civil war Influenced some
selling. Foreigners were sellers on
balance, brokers said.
German bonds, which lost only
moderately yesterday, were under
pressure. Losses extended to 3 points
and several made new lows.
Baltimore and Ohio stock lost a
point to 6 on action of a bond
holder in bringing a suit to force
the road into receivership. Other
rails were down.
U. S. Steel touched 62 off SH:
Bethlehem 70 off 2, and National
Steel 76 off IK. Steel operations
were expected to decline next week
despite a 5H point rise scheduled for
the Pittsburgh area. The Chicago
and Youngstown districts were to
start the new week substantially
lower.
American Telephone equaled Its
high at 157 and then dropped to
around 1S4 off 3'i points. West-
inghouse Electric touched 109 off
4; Douglas 67 M, off 2; Philip Mor
ris 06 off 2; Wright Aero 107 off 6;
and U. S. Rubber 46tt off 2'i.
Declines of a point or more were
noted in Allls Chalmers, American
Smelting, Anaconda, Cerro de Pas
co. duPont, General Motors, Loft,
Montgomery Ward, Texas Corpora
tion, United Aircraft and Johns
Manvllle. A few issues held gains for special
reasons. Safeway Stores made a
new high at 35 up IT on announce
ment that Its 1038 earnings were
equal to $4.02 a share, against $2.62
In 1037. Loew's gained more than
a point on a court ruling upholding
the company's profit-sharing plan.
Dow Jones closing averages: In
dustrial, 146.76, off 2.35; rail, 31.10,
orf 0.87; Utility, 23.97, off 0.71.
Stock sales approximated 660.000
shares against 470.00 shares In the
short session a week ago. Curb sales
were 143,000 shares compared with
89,000 last Saturday.

Steady Tone
Continues in
Hop Market
Pacific coast hop markets contin
ued to display a steady tone during
the week ended January 18, states
the Weekly Hop Market Review ol
the bureau of agricultural econom
ics. Although trading was of some
what less volume than during the
preceding week, fair to good amounts
were sold by Oregon and Washing
ton growers at prices around the
same levels which prevailed during
the preceding period. Demand from
domestic dealers and Industries was
sufficient to absorb quite readily
the current offerings of spot hops
from the 1938 crop. Available sup
plies of unpledged 1938 hops were
diminishing rapidly since a large
proportion of growers In the three
coast states have made applications
for government loans on their 1938
holdings. It is hoped that accurate
figures showing the amount of hops
for which applications for loans
have been made in Oregon, Wash
ington and California, will be avail
able for publication In the Hop Mar
ket Review next week.
Oregon markets again showed the
principal marketing activity among
the three coast states. Demand was
reported fairly good from domestic
buyers while offerings of spot hops
by growers In this state were only
moderate. Trade reports indicated
that Oregon producers sold around
450 bales of 1938 crop Clusters at
21c per pound net. Other scattered
sales of smaller lots of less attrac
tive quality of the same growth
were reported sold at 19c to 20c per
pound, net growers. While there
were no new transactions reported
In 1937 crop hops In Oregon during
the past week, trade reports Indi
cated that nominal values on those
supplies were unchanged at 7c to 8c
per pound, net to growers. No quo
tations were available on hops old
er than 1937. At the close of the
week, unpledged 1938 crop hops were
being held by Oregon growers for
at least 21c per pound and higher
for top qualities, while stocks on
which loans have been obtained
were mostly held at around 24c per
pound, net grower, carrying charges
accounting for the high asking
prices.
Washington markets were also
fully steady and fairly active. In
the Yakima area, sales by growers
Included around 300 bales, consist
ing of one fairly large lot and sev
eral smaller lots, which netted
growers about 20c per pound, for
1938 good quality Clusters, accord
ing to trade reports. Only about 500
bales of 1938 hops eligible for loans
remained unpledged In the Yakima
valley, at the close of the period. No
sales and no offers were reported in
the Puyallup valley of western
Washington during the week. Grow
ers tli ere were mostly applying for
federal loans and were not pressing
remaining supplies for sale at this
time. No sales have been made In
the Puyallup valley area since
around the middle of December.
Trading in California continued
at a standstill during the week end
ed January 17, reflecting light of
ferings from growers and slow de
mand from the trade. No sales by
growers were reported in the three
main producing areas. California
growers had applied for federal
loans on practically all remaining
1938 supplies with the exception of
those held by dealers. There stocks
were largely being held at 24c per
pound and higher to take care of
loans and carrying charges.

Soil Meetings
ForStayton
And Silverton
How the 1939 agricultural con
servation program can best be used
by the farmers in the Silverton and
Stayton districts will be the topics
of discussion at two meetings to be
held for all agricultural conserva
tion signers In the two districts as
follows:
Wednesday afternoon. January 25.
at 1:15 p.m. at the Silverton ar
mory, and Wednesday evening, Jan
uary 25. 7:30 p.m., In the city hall
at Stayton.
These meetings are being held at
the request of the Marion county
land use committee. This group,
composed of farmers of this coun
ty, has recommended that a large
acreage of the hill land in the eas
tern part of Marion county be di
verted to perennial grasses and le
gume crops.
The following program will be pre
