PAGE FOURTEEN THE NEWS AND THE HERALD. KLAMATH FALLS. ORE. ManJzeti and tyincMxual LATE SELLING NEW YORK, March 12 If A selling flurry in the last few minutes of the session sent stock nrices tumbling today and the fx- nal trading bell rang with many erstwhile gainers a point or two lower than yesterday! close. Virtually the only strength shown at the end of the day was among the shipbuilding shares. They closed down from their best points, but still steady. Prices had held fairly strong throughout the day until, at the last, profit-taking movement which brokers called "simultan eous" developed. About 300.000 shares changed hands in the course of the day. the 'thinness" of the market making price trends quickly felt Among the major gainers most of the day were New York Ship building, Bath Iron Works, Elec tric Boat, Climax, Molybdenum, International, Mercantile Mar ine, Allied Chemical, American Can, General Motors, American Smelting and Dupont. Bonds were irregular, al though a fair demand was main tained for rails. Air Reduction -Alaska Juneau Al Chem & Dye .

WHEAT PRICE OFF CENT PER BUSHEL CHICAGO. March 12 W Net losses of more than a cent were chalked up today in the wheat futures pit as grain traders stepped up profit taking sales at tracted by the 9 to 10 cents ad vance by various contracts dur ing the past three weeks. More moisture in the south west, government expectations that present price levels would encourage redemption of grain under loan, and reports of in creased "free" wheat sales ac counted for much of the mar ket's weakness. Wheat closed J-Hc lower than yesterday. May 86-8SIc. July 82ic; corn 1c off to ic up. May 62i-lc, July 621c. Oregon Wool Clip Hits 17-Year Low PORTLAND, March 12 (T) Oregon's 1940 wool clip came to 16.446.000 pounds, smallest since 1924, C. J. Heltemes. as sociate agriculture department statistician, said today. The 1939 clip came to 16.901, 000. Heltemes said production in Oregon has been declining for several years in line with the reduction in sheep numbers. The peak was reached in 1931 when an estimated 2.500.000 pounds. Last year about 1.842, 000 sheep were clipped, averag ing 8.9 pounds. National production, both shorn and pulled, last year came to 449,763,000 pounds, largest of record. The estimated aver age of shorn wool was 28.4 cents compared with 22.3 in 1939. The cash income in 1940 was $110,058,000 compared with $84,324,000 in 1939. WOOL MARKET BOSTON, March 12 (AP USDA) A fair amount of Inter est was shown in the finer grades of spot fine wools today in the Boston market. Good combing 64s Australian wools brought $1-1.05, scoured basis, including the duty and 64s and 70s Australian super warp wools sold at $1.05-1.08. Fine wools from South America were sold at 95c-$l scoured basis, includ ing the duty, and half-blood wools brought mostly 90-95 cents. Domestic wools were mostly very quiet and offerings of spot wools were very limited. There are those who belive that we ought to bow our heads meekly to the scourge of nazism, accepting it as something in evitable as those of the middle ages accepted the black death.

There hss been a sharp In crease in German bombing and U-boat activity, and Hntiiiu be lieves the battle of the Atlantic is under way. Over at the other end of Europe the Balkans are hanging half over the precipice of war. Coincident with all this there is a gathering of the axis clan on the move. Japanese Foreign Minister Mutsuoka Is coming to Europe to confer with his Ger man and Italian allies, and see for himself how the war goes. That is likely to be a momen tous conference. The attitude of the triple alliance toward the United States will be a big item for consideration. There is bound to come up the question of whether Japan shall enter the war on the side of the axis In an effort to make a quick killing in the near future. Indications are that Matsuoka will be governed by what he finds from examination on the ground. Since some of the Jap anese press takes the attitude that Nippon is playing an oppor tunist game, there seems no rea son why we should blink the question. On that basis it may be as sumed that if the Japanese be lieve Hitler has the war in his pocket they will play his game. Otherwise they will avoid a clash with either America or Britain. Taking it all in all, it looks as though the moment of Britain's supreme danger was approach ing rapidly. The axis is going to put everything it has into an effort to achieve a knockout. lt is a moment of danger for the United States as well. Quite apart from other considerations there is always the possibility that the axis will decide to drag tis into the war. It is wise to recognize that, so the shock won't be too great if it comes. Apropos of the lease-lend bill there came out of London yes- terdav the amazing statement that Britain has on hand enough trained personnel to man the en tire American fleet if it were turned over to Britain. This claim was made by a high Brit ish naval source, who sard Eng land wanted all the ships she could got. This would mean that Britain has sufficient reserves to man 322 naval ships of all classes. The figures for our personnel aren't available, but they were over 171,0(10 in 1940, with large reserve. The London statement sent my temperature up a bit, because only last week I stated in this column that my best informa tion was Britain could man a considerable number of war ships immediately, but not an other fifty destroyers such as we traded for naval bases. My fig ures came, if not from the horse's mouth, at least from the nose-bag. I made the point In connec tion with Britain's desire for more vessels. My reason for In quiring about the reserve was because it was obvious that if Britain couldn't man more ships, she might in desperation ask somebody else to do It. And it struck me this might be our Uncle Sam a matter of consid erable concern to us Yankees. So yesterday when the new figures arrived 'from London, I tossed them Into the nose-bag. Back came the equivalent of horse feathers, in a very Ox ford accent. I was assured that somebody in London was dream ing. a Winner?
