Friday, February 21, 194 T Twelve The Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon Stock Market Marks Time But Holds Gains New York, Feb. 21 W) The worst that could be earn 01 toaay s stock market was that It generally failed fniinw f.hrnuirh on Thursday's harp rally, while on Its credit side was the fact It retained most 01 yesterday's advance and even added modest amounts In many cases. Transfers of around 300,000 shares again were among the slowest for a t hour stretch In nearly six months ind compared with better than 450, win fh rinv hefnre. One reason given for the rever- iinn In nnnt.Viv nitut that manv Wall Street habitues wanted to keep commitments light over tomorrow s holiday when principal xinanciai ma.rlr0t.ft will hi closed. Other favorable performers the greater part of the time were Sears Hoebuck, Montgomery Ward, Amer ican Telephone, du Pont, Allied Chemical, union Facmc, rennsyi TOnla, Douglas Aircraft, Olenn Mar tin and General Electric. In the faltering division were U. 6. Steel, Bethlehem, Chrysler, San ta Pe, Great Northern, American Can, Anaconda, Western Union, North American, Public Service of N.

Retail Trade At New Highs New York, Feb. 31 (ffO Despite blizzards in. some parts of the na tion which tended to slow buying, retail sales this week continued to breeze along at eleven year high levels, and averaged 13 to 20 per cent above the like 1040 week for the country as a whole, Dun & Brad street reported today. The mercantile agency found In creases In both retailing and whole Bale trade. , Said the agency: "Less favorable weather conditions for the promo tion of new seasonal merchandise failed to dim glowing sales reports from retail stores. "In most cities trade was said to , be on an uptrend at a better-than-seasonal rate. Rising payrolls were being felt in sharp Increases in pur chases of medium-price merchan dise; replacement buying of home wares was especially noted In these brackets, x x x "Retailers' reports Indicated that furniture promotions were usually stacking up the largest figures for these events In a decade. As a rule furniture gains over last year rang ed over 10 per cent, x x x "All major sales regions topped sales levels of a year ago by a wide margin. New England broadened its Increase to 15 to 25 per cent; the east showed a gain of 13 to 18; couth 16 to 22; middle west 9 to 17; southwest 14 to 20; northwest 7 to 15, and Paclfto coast 10 to 14," Milk Control Law Amendment Asked The Oregon Farmers' Educational and Cooperative Union of America yesterday adopted tho following resolution through its marketing committee: "Whereas, the present milk control law Is discriminating against farmers with a few cows; "Therefore, be It resolved, that we recommend that the law be amended to exempli farmers who have from one to four cows from complying, so that they may re tall from their own farms."

An active demand from domestic dealers and industries to gether with light offerings from growers, were the principal strengthening influences during the week. In addition to the continued active interest in spot market of ferlngs, which were readily absorb' ed at steady to firm prices, consid erable contracting of 1941 hops for future delivery was reported in all producing districts of the three west coast states. Oregon hop markets continued to display a very firm tone during the past week. Offerings by growers were being readily taken at prices which were fully steady to higher as compared with the previous week. While accurate figures were not available, trade estimates indicated that growers In this state sold around 800 bales of 1940 hops dur ing the past seven days at 30 cents per pound, net. This represents an advance of about 1 cent per pound over the top of last week's price range for this growth. In addition to these sales of spot supplies, It was reported that a number of con tracts covering 1941 hops were writ ten during the period at prices net ting growers 25 cents per pound for regular type seeded clusters, and 32 cents per pound for seedless varie ties. The seedless hops contracted were for not to exceed 2 per cent seed content, with discounts for hops with seeds exceeding that amount. At the close of the period, dealers were offering to contract additional amounts of both regular type and seedless hops from the 1941 crop at the above prices. Trade advices Indicated that top quality supplies from the 1940 crop were be coming scarce In Oregon and deal ers were taking offerings In the spot market readily at firm prices all during the period. Washington markets also were firm during the past week. No sales of 1940 hops were reported in the Yakima valley area during the per iod. Dealers in that section were offering around 27 cents per pound for top quality 1040 clusters, while growers were mostly asking 28 cents to 30o for this type.' The market situation was featured by the con tracting of additional amounts of 1941 hops by Yakima growers. One 2-year contract covering around 3S0 bales of 1941 and 1942 seedless hops were reported at 30 cents and 28 cents per pound, net grower. One 3 year contract covering 600 bales of 1941, 1942 and 1943 seedless hops also was reported at 32 cents, 28 cents and 26 cents per pound, respectively, net grower. Both of these term con tracts were on new planting seed less varieties. Trading in spot sup plies was restricted by very light offerings by growers from the com paratively small remaining supplies of 1940 hops in the Yakima district. California hop markets remained quite firm during the past week with a good demand from dealers and industries for thg light offerings from growers. Recent price advanc es were well maintained. Trading again was largely in 1941 hops for future delivery with business in spot goods restricted because of small supplies In first hands. Interest In 1941 seedless hops was particularly good with growers reporting con tracts covering 885 bales of 1941 seedless hops at 35 cents per pound, net producers. Contracts specified that deliveries shall represent hops of not more than 2 per cent seed content and 3 per cent stems and leaves, with discounts down to 25 cents and 28 cents per pound for lower qualities.

Japan Fearful of Economic By DeWItt MacKemle (Associated Press etaff Writer) The situation in the far east remains tense and therefore dangerous, but there is hope that nobody will shoot until he eyes, by which time shooting may not bo necessary. The chief deterrent to an upheav al at the moment, as I pointed out yesterday, is the firm attitude and preparedness moves of the United States. Japan's greatest fear is that we will be drawn Into the conflict. Thus it Is legitimate for us to say that one of the most powerful de fenses of Britain's great naval base at Singapore is America's moral and material support of the Anglo Allied cause against the axis, of which Japan Is an appendage. That fact should give some satis faction to those who have the strange Idea that John Bull is bear ing on his broad back not only his own burdens of defense but all those of the United States. Uncle Sam Bigger Fat Lamb Show Planned Sclo, Feb. 21. A larger and more Interesting Fat Lamb show for Scio In 1941 was the predominant attitude of the general committee at the preliminary meeting in this city Tuesday night. All members of the executive committee, named a short time ago by Dr. A. O. Prill, Sclo member of the county fair board, were In at tendance at this gathering. This committee Is composed of C. L. Donahue, chairman; Norman Bernler, J. D. Densmore, Sr., Wil bur Funk and George J. Patrny. Bernler Is secretary. Personnel is the same as last year. To the mem bership for this year were added S. W. Archer, Fred Roadarmel and Q. E. ROdgers. May 24, falling on Saturday, was fixed for this year's show. It was agreed among members that lambs will be ready for exhibition pur poses earlier this year than last and that a later date would proba bly detract from best results. The county board has allotted $150 for premiums this year, this being the same amount as last year's award. In 1940, something over $200 was paid out for premiums and other awards, local merchants and a few outsiders contributing to the fund. Increased sums were tentatively budgeted by the committee Tues day night for fleeces, as also for the parade, 'the latter to be elab orated beyond the 1940 proportions. It is proposed to have a band from a neighboring city to lead the par ade. Mrs. George J. Patrny again is chairman of the parade commit tee, other members to date being Mrs. M. D. Zander and Mrs. Carl Warren. With Mrs..Pague as chairman of the wool products committee are Mrs. J. D. Densmore, Jr., and Mrs Roy Skelton, she announced at the meeting. Other members may be added, she said. TOKYO MIDWAY WAKE. Q SAMOA 0 Blockade that reason will prevail and sees the whites of his enemy's doesn't need to apologize for the weight he Is pulling and undertak' lng to pull. The Tokyo newspaper Chugal to day exposed one of Japan's great est anxieties in connection with America's attitude. The paper said that "the United States Is prepar ing to resort to economic blockade operations against Japan." That is, Nippon is fearful that we will place a wholesale embargo on all exports to her. Such an embargo would be a fierce blow, since Japan is dependent on us for many of her absolute essen tials, especially for waging war. Whether Washington might resort to such an extreme measure remains to be seen, but Chugal would seem to have a right to worry about the position. That embargo is the most powerful restraint we could employ against the Japanese. It likely would be far more des tructive, In fact, than any naval pressure wnich eltner Britain oi America, or both of them combined, could bring to bear at this criti cal Juncture when the European war is making such great demands. Indeed, should Japan have any designs on Singapore and the Dutch East Indies (which she denies) she probably would get ahead with the Job were It not for two things (1) the danger of that embargo and American involvement; (2) the cer- tainty that unless the axis won the war Nippon would be called to account by an unencumbered Brit ain and her allies. Fine Herefords On Auction Block Sacramento, Feb. 21 tfp) Top notch registered Hereford cattle will go on display and on the auc tion block at the California state fair grounds over the next week end. , The two day show and sale, plan ned as an annual event, is expected to attract Hereford breeders from several western states.

SEATTLE SAN U.S.A FRANCISCO V.LOS ANGELES Q& HONOLULU HAWAIIAN IS. PACIFIC OCEAN Governor Signs Home Guard Bill The bill to permit Governor Char lea A. Sprague to create a state guard became law today with his signature, although the governor has said he would not do so unless there is an emergency that could not be handled by state police or federal troops.
