Thursday, December 21, 1939 Hie Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon Stocks Move Irregularly In Light Volume New York. Dec. 31 U.B Stocks moved Irregularly today with trad ing continuing light. There were three featurei, Ameri can Telephone which made a new high since 11)37 at 171, up lt, the oil group which rose fractions to a point on Increased demand for var ious grades of oil, and Artloom pre ferred which spurted 15'i points to a new high at 100. The major groups were Irregularly lower late In the day. A few special Issues broke out of a fractional area but for the most part the net chang es were small. Railroad Issues fluctuate nar rowly. Late In the day most of the leaders had minor declines. Union Pacific, an exception, declined more than 3 points. Railroad equipment Issues were steady. American Smelt ing was firm while other copper shares eased small amounts. Bteel shares firm for a time In the early trading but they turned Irreg ular late In the day. Utilities were steady to firm. Aviation Issues were dull with prices little changed. Dow Jones preliminary closing averages: Industrial 149.10, off 0.03; rail 31.20 off 0.22; utility 34.52 up 0.05: and 5 stocks 48.99 off 0.06. Stock sales approximated 740,000 shares against 910,000 In the previ ous session. Curb stock sales were 188,000 compared with 184,000 shares yesterday, DollarWheat Benefits Coast Ban Francisco, Dec. 21 IF Dol lar wheat and higher In the Chicago market has brought a big relief to the Pacific coast growers with big stocks and little markets. Slow buying from oriental cus tomers had left unwieldy supplies In the Pacific northwest Prices had failed to rJse proportionately In the Portland market until the eastern buyers, scared by drought reports, got payments up to where It would pay to buy on the coast. Trade reports said today there had been a considerable volume or flour sold on this coast lately, and some wheat, for delivery In the gulf and south Atlantic areas. From Tennessee came the report Pacific coast wheat was on ft com pettttve price basis in that region. From Kansas City came additional reports of some sales there of Paci fic wheat and flour. Wheat men here were awaiting the government crop report today with perhaps as much Interest as they have shown In any crop estimate In j ears. The official data on the ex tent of the midwest failure la much more significant, however, In the northwest than In California. Oregon wheat surpluses may well be cleaned out with any further advances In Chicago prices, should they be sufficient to Increase the recent buying In the northwest. Those surpluses have been cut down, too, by substantial sales to Russia. Chartering of several ships ior delivery of wheat to Russia showed the size of that movement, estimated by one dealer here to be around 100,000 tons. Salem Markets Complied from reports ol Sa lem dealers, for the guidance of Capital Journal readers. (Revised dally). Not guaran teed. On Ting Prtres Feed Barley 433. Wheat- Vet bushel.

Winter Wheat Forecast Shows Small Yield Washington, Dec. 31 VP) The ag riculture department todey forecast 1940"s winter wheat production at 399.000.000 bushels. Because of the severe drought, lt was the smallest Indicated yield since 1925. Production wan 550.710.000 bushels tills year, 686,6;i7,000 bushels In 1938, and averaged ftfiO. 160.000 bushels for the ten years, 1928-37. The Indicated production for next year, the crop reporting board said, is based on the past relationship be tween December 1 condition and the yield per seeded acre, with some al lowance for the probable effect of weather conditions during the past summer and fall. The weather bur eau has reported the past fall the 'driest of record. The area seeded to winter wheat this fall Is 45.014.000 acres, com pared with 46.364.000 last year, 56, 529,000 two years ago, and 46.996.000, the average for ten years 1927-36. The condition of the crop on De cember 1 was 55 per cent of a normal compared with 72 a year ago, 76 two yearn ago and 80 the average for then ten years 1927-36. Rye was seeded on 5,640,000 acres this fall, the board reported, com pared with 7.187,000 acres in the fall of 1938, 6,716.000 two years ago. and 5,937,000 the 1927-36 average ac reage. The condition of rye on De cember 1 was 64 percent of a normal. compared with 76 a year ago, 74 two years ago, and 79 the 1927-36 aver age. The acreage sown to winter wheat this fall and the condition of the crop on December 1, by states, were reported as follows: South Dakota area 180.000 acres and condition 82 per cent of normal Oklahoma 5,094,000 and 34; Texas 4,154,000 and 47; Montana 1,356,000 and 70; Colorado 1,246,000 and 38; Washington 1,166.000 and 56; Ore gon 653,000 and 54; California 833,000 and 79. F.S.C.C. Lists Prunes For Sale in Polk Dallas, Dec. 21 The prune pur chasing program of the Federal Sur plus Commodity corporation proved of considerable interest to Polk county growers as evidenced by the fact that 1777, tons were listed for sale by them. Tills tonnage represent about 60 growers who still had prunes of their own raising in their possession, Many growers have expressed their regret that not knowing about such a program sooner as many of them have sold for less than what the government price has been set at. Word has not been received at the county agent's office how many of the prunes offered by Polk county growers will be purchased by the FSCC, states W. C. Leth, Polk coun ty agent. Indications are that there are more prunes being offered from Polk county than any other Oregon county which is to be expected in view of the fact that Polk county has the largest rruiie acreage in Oregon and perhaps even In the entire United States, A county growers committee con sisting of W. Frank Crawford, R. 1 Salem; Wes Elliott, Dallas, and I- W. Plummer, Dallas, reviewed the offers to sell at a meeting Inst Mon day and made recommendations to the FSCC concerning them. Grow ers should receive word in the near future on how many prunes are to be purchased and what proportion o( each grower's prunes will be tak- Fourth Generation Observing Christmas Silverton The children of Mrs. K.

It Is expected the FCA henceforth will provide a measure of supervision and give advice on farm operations to its borrowers. A conflict between agriculture department FCA heads reached i climax yesterday with the reslgna tion of F. E. Hill as governor of the credit agency. President Roosevelt appointed Dr. A. G. Black, head of the agriculture department's mar keting and regulatory work, to suc ceed Hill. The change In administrators probably will have repercussions in congress, for farm organizations as well as legislators have been arguing over farm lending methods. Hill said in a statement that the issue Is whether the FCA should be continued "as an autonomous fed eral agency supervising cooperative credit facilitied In the farm field or be absorbed and become an in tegral part of a large department of government responsible for the ad ministration of a great many other farm programs."
