Salem, Oreaon Stocks Decline Irregularly As Bonds Steady New York, April 21 m The stock market today looked as though It was pretty well "sold out" but many potential buyers again were kept In the waiting column by the pessi mistic tenor of the war news.

While business progress was view ed as fairly satisfactory, tax and labor worries remained as specula tive handicaps. . Steels had to contend with the of ficial estimate putting this week's mill operations down i3 point at M per cent of capacity.

The commission said that the spinach was the broad leaf type grown almost exclusively In the Walla Walla, Wash., region, and that "large quantities are shipped fresh to the Chicago market where a sale for this particular type of spinach Is readily found." The bulk of the spinach Is sold directly to canners. The FTC said that Its complaint named Pacific Fruit & Produce company, Walla Walla Gardeners' association, Mojonnier Sc Sons, Inc., Walla Walla Produce com pany and Ewlng M. Stephens and Eugene Tausig, trading as Valley Fruit company, all Walla Walla shippers; C. H. Robinson company, Minneapolis, Minn., broker, and Robert M. Steinberg, manager of Its Chicago branch, and four Chicago Jobbers. The complaint charged that the Jobbers In accordance with an 'agreement, understanding, combi nation and conspiracy" of all the respondents fixed resale prices for the produce purchased by them from the shippers through C. H. Robertson, the brokerage firm. The shippers, It continued, entered into an agreement whereby they shipped all of their pack to the Jobbers ex clusively through the Robinson company. It charged that pursuant to the agreement the shippers fixed the price paid for broadleaf spinach to the growers and prorated the tonnage throughout the season.

An exception ally early bloom on the strawberries Is expected to bring them Into the canneries right along with the gooseberries by the middle of next month. Gooseberries which always have the honor of opening the fruit can ning season here are reported to be not showing an extra heavy bloom, although they suffered no damage. Nevertheless while the crop will not be heavy It will be good, say can ners. The strawberries also are looking good as far as tonnage per acre Is concerned. There was some frost damage to the early bloom, but as far as that is concerned canners say this Is customary rather than exceptional and that virtually every year there Is some damage to the early bloom but the percentage as to the total crop Is generally so small as to be negligible. It Is stated that both Marshalls and Red Hearts look as though there will be a good yield. The Mar shalls will open the season about along with the gooseberries and It Is expected the Red Hearts will start about a week later. Loganberries also are looked to for an early start and to come along In June. With possible exception of a few small associations, report Is that the strawberries are virtually all bought up or under term or market price contracts and that there are but a few of them "without a home" tor this season. Marion County Births Exceed Deaths Births in Marlon county were greatly In excess of deaths during the month of March, according to a report Issued by the health de. partment.

THE CREE hk-Bleak and mountainous b Greenland, that great In s military defense site deal made by U.S., as Is Indicated in above The Island, of 827, 275 square miles, Is arctic In character and 721,000 covered by an ice sheet. Its 1930 population was 16,630. Road Improvement Shortens Distance Monmouth Upon completion of a county road between Cooper Hol low and Fern's Mill, the distance between Falls City and Monmouth will be shortened from three to five miles. Although the right-of-way has been secured and the work started the road will not be finished this summer, due to a shortage of WPA labor which was assigned the task of clearing the new roadway of stumps. Much work, however, will be done during the coming months on the cut-off. The new road leads to the north thus eliminating the steep grades of the Antloch and Fishback hills. Cherry Men Eled Directors Willamette Cherry Growers, Inc., at a meeting here Saturday re elected director including James Im lah, Frank Fanner, Albert Bouffleur and Roy Jones and stockholders heard reports from Robert Shinn, manager, auditors and other offi cers. Discussion among members Indi cated that the general consensus as to this year's cherry crop would show a very light crop In the river bottoms and on the valley floor due mainly to frost damage while there would be a spotted crop In the hills. No frost damage was reported in the hills but growers reported a spotted condition anyway among the hill orchards, The general idea expressed was that the crop would be considerably lighter than last year. . . Reports were made from other areas Including one that California Is conceding a very light crop, not to exceed last year's very light pro duction. From Yakima came a re port Indicating a crop of from 25 to 30 per cent lighter than last year and from The Dalles a crop about the same as last year. Like other crops it was indicated the cherry crop would be very much earlier than normal, possibly three weeks earlier than the normal aver. age. Figures shown by the manager took 1937 as a normal season when the first cherries were received June 19 while last year the peak was on June 19, showing last year as an early season and this one probably somewhat similar. Ample Space for Army Camp Here There will be no difficulty In finding plenty of room for large encampments at the state fair grounds, Manager Fred D. Thiel sen of the Chamber of Commerce has informed army authorities by letter. ! , The army desires to bivouac about 2,000 men nightly for about five nights beginning May 19, and the impression got abroad that suf ficient room could not be had at the fair grounds and that the encamp ment might be made at Albany in stead.
