again were among the slowest for a
t hour stretch In nearly six months
ind compared with better than 450,

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,"

Another Week
Of Firm Tone
In Hop Trade
Hop markets on the Pacific coast
maintained the firm tone which has
featured the general situation dur
ing other recent weeks during the
seven day period ending February
19, states the Agricultural Market
ing service In the Weekly Hop Mar
ket Review. 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.

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.

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.

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.
The act, amended by the senate
at labor's request, will expire Janu
ary. 21, 1943, unless the next legisla
ture re-enacts it. The law, however,
would expire automatically when the
Oregon national guard returns from
federal service.
If the governor should organize a
state guard, it would be financed by
a provision that appropriations for
the state military department may
be transferred to the state guard.
The governor also signed a bill
today changing the name of the
state welfare commission to the state
wages and hours commission. The
commission has authority over em
ployment of women and minors, the
house having defeated a bill yester
day to extend the authority to regu
lation of employment of men.

Wool Market
Hectic During
Past Week
Boston. Feb. 31 (ffV-Th Com-
mercli.l Bulletin will Bay of the Bos
ton wool market tomorrow:
"Business has been hectto In the
wool market this past week. The
announcement of further govern
ment orders equivalent to 100 mil
lion pounds of grease wool, or more,
led the mills evidently to anticipate
their requirements. Hence, they
bought contracts from the dealers
of wool yet to be shorn very freely,
around $1.00 to (1.05 for average to
choice fine wools and around D7
98 cents for half-blood wools, scour
ed basis. They also bought further
sizable weights of foreign half-blood
and fine wools at firm prices.
"Dealers were thus spurred on to
further contracting In the west and
it Is estimated that fully 80 million
pounds of the new clip are under
contract, mostly unshorn. Prices be
ing paid range from 30 to 40 cents
according to the character and
staple of the wool, with most of the
business around 35 cents for both
medium and finer clips.
"Foreign markets are rather quiet
but very firm. ,
"Cloth buyers for civilian pur
poses are finding it rather difficult
to place contracts, in the face of the
huge government orders.
"Mohair has been quiet but firm.
