Friday, September 4, 1$42 The Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon Ten Stock Prices Fluctuate Irregularly New York, Sept. 4 UP) Stock leaders generally sat on the bench In today's market con test and left the field mainly to specialties which turned out to be notably erratic perform ;' ers. : Packing company issues were weak from the start while the , communications group pushed up with some show of strength. Low-priced stocks accounted for a somewhat better volume of around 325,000 shares. Small price variations ruled in the fin al hour although isolated wide spreads were in evidence. Bullish forces continued to hold faith In recovery but there were too many question marks present to Inspire much buying of pivotals. Restraints were seen in tax confusion. Lack of clues regarding the president's forthcoming address on cost-of- " living controls and the desire of many customers to keep a clean slate over the lenthy week end holiday. All major markets will recess for Labor Day. Individual situations remain ed as props for some stocks while dividend and earnings casualties, both actual and pro spective, chilled, others. There was a smattering of new highs for the year or longer : among which were Western Un ion, Postal Telegraph Preferred, Firestone Tire, Schenley and American & Foreign Power Preferreds. The majority of the recently buoyant utility senior stocks did little or noth ing. Ahead at one time or another were Bethlehem, American Tel ephone, Chesapeake & Ohio, Consolidated Oil, Lockheed, Dow Chemical and Johns-Man-vllle. : Backward were U. S. Steel, Anaconda, Santa Fe, Douglas Aircraft, Glidden, Great North ern, Kennecott, Pacific Tele phone, Du Pont, Swift & Co. and U. S. Gypsum. Bonds were narrow. Dow Jones preliminary clos . ing stock averages: industrial, 108.30, up 0.05; rail, 26.26, up 0.17; utility, 11.57, off 0.14; and 65 stocks, 35.56, up 0.03. Stock sales were 300,270 shares compared with 282,040 yesterday.

A car of No. : 2 yellow hard winter erain sold at 3 cents a bushel over the September level compared with 2VS cents over for the same grade yester day. Cash wheat In the northwest topped futures from 1 to 2 cents a bushel, Of the 411 cars of wheat delivered at Minneapolis today, 81 cars were spot sales and 81 were disposed of at di version points. The Modern Miller nnnnunrrrl that plowing for winter wheat was accelerated by recent wet ness. Some seeding Is being done in western Kansas. Hoavv moisture in the northwest and Canadian section slowed har vesting. A week of good weather Is necessary before thrcshlns. 'I; Trading was unsettled in the corn pit with a brief flurry caus ed by professional buying of May grain In mid-morning. Scatter ed liquidation was absorbed by cash interests which took Sep tember and sold December at a 2Vt cents difference.

Meat Industry Brought Under License Control Washington, Sept. 4 Ol.B The office of price administration, taking the first step toward full directorship of rationing meat supplies to civilians, today order ed the entire meat industry from slaughterhouses to whole salers brought under a unified licensing control. The order, effective Septem ber 8, will place the remainder of the meat industry on the same footing as meat retailers, already licensed under general maximum price regulations. It is designed, the OPA id, to prevent the evasion of exisng. and forthcoming price regula tions. It was learned meanwhile that production chief Donald M, Nel son will issue a directive to price administrator Leon Hen derson early next week giving him full responsibility for dis tributing civilian meat supplies. The directive, it was said, will be a forerunner to meat ration ing and will allow the OPA to prepare for coupon distribution when the WPB has the machin ery set up probably within four months. Nelson has told Hen derson, it was learned, to speed rationing plans so they may be put into operation within a few days after the WPB names the effective date. The OPA's licensing order makes a license a required con dition for the sale of meat or meat products subject to price regulations. This includes at present dressed hogs, beef, veal, and lamb carcasses, and virtual ly all wholesale and retail cuts except mutton. In. another move to halt al leged violations of price orders, the OPA yesterday filed suits in federal courts In 18 cities seek ing injunctions against 100 pack ers allegedly engaged in "up grading" veal and beef to evade price regulations. Heavy Movement in Wool Develops Boston, Sept. 4 UP) The com mercial bulletin will say of the Boston wool market tomorrow; "A heavy movement of wool developed here this week, fol lowing the announcement of plans by the army quartermast er depot for early purchases of 35,000,000 yards of uniform ma terials. The government effort to stabilize domestic wool, as promised some weeks ago, is re flected in specifications on the new goods. When the contracts will be negotiated is not defi nitely indicated. "Most of the prospective busi ness is in woolens, as contrasted with worsteds. This has tended to concentrate recent wool de mand upon medium grades, both shorn and pulled. Broad de mand and decreasing unsold sup plies gave a rising trend to prices in the period. Bullish feeling among growers on their remaining unsold wool also con tributed toward strengthening of values for wool here."

New Hop Control Board Organized Organization of the hop control board under the new federal marketing agreement which went into effect one minute after midnight on September 1, has been completed at a meeting in Portland this week with C. W.- Paulus again named managing director and the main offices continued on in Salem , with branch offices in San Francisco, Calif., and. Yakima, Wash. The new. agreement was approved by growers under a referendum which closed August 15. . Members of the new control board se lected by tile various Industry groups and approved by the secretary of agriculture to administer the now program are: W. H. Anderson. Eusene: William Krebs. Jef ferson; Warren Brown, Uklah, Calif, i P. M. Roe-ney. Sacramento, Calif.; Amos Brulotte. Grandview, Wash.; J. D. Mc Kelheer, Yakima. Wash.; Dean H. Walker, independence, and K. H.

Becker, vice chairman: Wil liam S. Walton, treasurer; Nellie E. Schwab, assistant treasurer; and J. -M. Throne, assistant secretary. 0. W. Paulus of Salem, was eleoted managing agent and also serves as secretary of the control board. The control board reviewed the situation relating to present hop stocks in the United States and also gave consideration to the rate of increase in domestic beer production during the past year, particularly to such increased beer production during the past several months. Further, the in creased exportations of hops during the past year have drawn heavily on domestic hop sup plies. ; The 1942 crop salable quantity approved by the secre tary of agriculture amounts to 41,000,000 pounds, or the equi valent of 205,000 ' bales. The control board, by a resolution, recommended to the secretary of agriculture that in the event the 1942 production of- hops in Ore gon, California, Washington and Idaho does not reach 41,000,000 pounds any deficiency in this quantity be made available by increasing the salable quantity of 1940 and prior years hops and permitting the marketing of such hops by growers. Any release of such older growth hops in grow ers' hands, which were not mar ketable under the previous mar keting - agreements and orders, will be in accordance with the terms of the new marketing agreement and order providing orderly marketing of these crops. 3 Cents Offered To Hop Pickers With some of the larger yards already paying three cents a pound for hop picking it was predicted by local hop men to day that yards generally would probably be paying that price by Monday. It was stated some of the smaller yards had not fallen in line as yet as a change over entails considerable work, such as new tickets and other details to attend to. V An appeal has gone out of the Independence section asking for 5000 Labor day vacationers to come in over the week-end to pick hops in that area with 3 cents a pound, cabins, lights, fuel and water promised. The earlier price was set for picking at 2 4 cents a pound but for some time a few of the larger yards have paid the increased price. Government Only Beef Exporter Ottawa, Sept. 4 (U.R) The gov ernment operated War . Time Food Corporation, Ltd., became the sole Canadian exporter of beef cattle today under war time prices and trade board orders designed to alleviate an acute beef shortage. The WFC now will buy cattle in the domestic market, assuring cattlemen of ceiling prices to re move any tendency to hold cat tle off the market. Until now the corporation had merely, when it was felt neces sary, to pay the equivalent ol export prices to beef cattle pro ducers to divert cattle from the export to domestic market.

Cooler weather and increased advertising were credited by the mercantile agency for the in crease in consumer interest in fall merchandise. 'Retailers estimated total sales above 1941 levels for the first time since ' last spring," the agency said in its review of the week. It pointed out, however, that the Labor Day holiday fell in the corresponding 1941 week. "The expansion in buying gave no earmarks of the anticipatory spending splurge of 1941," it commented, "although stock-up purchasing was a factor in food, coal and liquor sales," For the country as a whole gains averaged from 2 to 5 per cent compared with 1941, By regions, New England trade was unchanged to 2 per cent great, middle west up 2 to 7 per cent, south and southwest up 5 to 10 per cent, northwest up 1 to 4 per cent, and the Pacific coast up 4 to 9 per cent. In the east sales were 1 to 3 per cent be low last year. Reorders' increased wholesale business, the survey found, al though the gains were less steep since retailers generally were at tempting to reduce their large stocks. Smaller stores, it was reported, accounted for the major part of the increase in volume. Department Store. Sales in Slump San Francisco, Sept. 4 (IP) A 15 per cent slump in far western department store sales in the fin al week of August, as compared with the corresponding period last year, was shown in the Federal Reserve bank report here today.
