Saturday, October 10, 1942 The Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon Teii Market Quotations Stock Prices Hold Around Good Levels Housewives Will be Asked To Pay More Washington, Oct. 10 UP) Some of the nation's housewives may soon pay more at the corner grocers under a new alternative pricing formula announced by the office of price administration. They may also get some items that have been off the grocers' shelves lately because of a squeeze on food wholesalers and retailers who have found it difficult to do business under Marclw ceiling prices. WJ The jump won't be much. Price Administrator Leon Henderson assured the housewives "a cent or two for the most part for the affected foodstuffs." These are hundreds of individ-; ual items in 11 broad groups an-, nounced last night: breakfast cereals, canned fish, cooking and salad oils, sugar, canned vegeta- Red Clover Seed Crop'Small This Season Production of red clover seed this year is expected to be the smallest in 5 years and about 29 per cent below the 1941 crop, the' crop reporting board reports.

It is estimated at bushels (64,098,000 pounds) of thresher-run seed, compared with 1,510,200 bushels pounds) in 1941 and bushels (64,441,200 pounds) the' 10-year (1930-40) average. Decline in production from last year is attributed to a decrease of about 19 per cent in acreage and about 12 per cent in yield per acre. A larger production than last year is expected in only five producing states Kansas, Kentucky, Iowa, Minnesota and Oregon. In Oregon, the crop is smaller in the eastern part of the state, but larger in the western. Declines in pro Marine Private Moore Tells of Battering by Japs Eugene O.

The list was notably irregular until near the last when enough short covering and new buying came In to put favorites up fractions to 3 or more points, many to peak levels for the year or longer. Plus marks predominated at the close.

Transfers for the two hours were in the neighborhood of 300,000 shares. Slightly irregular tendencies crept into the list at the start of the brief Fractional improvement, particularly in the rails, was well distributed near the close. Transfers for the two hours were around 350,000 shares. N. Y.

Central was one of the fastest sprinters of the short proceedings with a modest ad v'ance at a new 1942 top. Talk of directors, scheduled to meet next Wednesday, voting the first common dividend in 12 years in reflection of the best earnings since 1930, apparently spurted purchasing of this issue. Given a lift were Santa Fe, Great Northern, Northern Pa cific, American Telephone, West ern Union, Anaconda, International Harvester, Westinghouse, General Electric and DuPont. Bonds were mixed and most commodities lower. The Dow Jones industrial, rail and composite averages all reached new highs for the year.

The preliminary closings were: industrial, 114.93 up rail, 29.02, up 0.44; utility 13.39 up 0,12, and 65 stocks, 38.83, up 0.40. Stocks swelled to 455,800 shares, the most for any short session since 516,840 shares were traded on Jan. 3 and compared with 445,920 shares last Saturday. Curb stock sales were the largest for any short session this year at 78,675 shares compared with 64,990 last week. Grain Futures Dip Today Chicago, Oct.

10 U.R Grain futures dipped more than 1 cent a bushel on the board of trade today after publication of the record and near record department of agriculture crop report. Wheat finished the day with net losses of Vi to 1 cents bushel, corn and oats off 1 to 2 cents, rye off IV to 1, and soybeans up Vt to off Wheat broke to the lowest levels in a month induced by the bearish crop estimate of bushels of winter and spring grain. This crop topped last month's estimate of bushels and was near all-time record. Selling of northwest wheat, weakness of feed grains and the general lack of buying interest contributed to the decline. May wheat found a fairly good rest ing demand at $1.28 a bushel.

Tomato Harvest Two More Weeks Lebanon, Oct. 10 Un less a serious frost comes the to mato harvest will continue at least another two weeks and plenty of pickers will be needed during that time, reports Hal Gross of the local U.S. employ ment office. Since school started there arc not enough pickers to care for the harvest and growers are ser iously thinking of growing other crops next year unless help is available, they report. People working on shifts who can spare a few hours a day, and women and farmers not busy at present are asked to help.

The same difficulty is report ed in securing pickers for nuts, Filbert picking is well under way and walnuts are just starting. E. B. Edcs, manager of the Le banon Nut Growers association, reports the nut crop locally to be about 50 to 60 per cent of nor mal. Continuation of Hunting Ban Lifted from page 1 closed.

Ceiling to Drop On Hog Prices Washington, Oct, 10 (IP) More pork for the dinner table was ln prospect today as the office cQ' price administration drafted art order which would drop hog prices somewhere between' $1 and $2 per' hundred pounds. A food official who asked not to be quoted by name said OPA had informed the agriculture department it is about ready to imr pose ceilings and an order was being prepared for submission to economic stabilization director James F. Byrnes, possibly next week. The effect of such an order, the spokesman said, would be to release for market quantities of hogs which, he believed, farmers were holding back to fatten and then offer at higher The ceiling would be placed somewhere between $13.50 anjfc, $14.75.

The exact figure be determined on the basis of revised wholesale pork ceilings the OPA expected to announce within a few days. Hogs sold this week for as much as $15.75 at Chicago, the highest price in 22 years. Lack of Pickers Delays Tomatoes While weather conditions will probably slow up the tomato pack for a time and there already has been a large loss due to the inability to secure a suf ficient number of pickers, a goocr sized pack already has been put up, reports Manager Glenn Len-gren of the Starr Fruit Products company and the quality has been very fine. A late start has been coupled with difficulty In1 securing sufficient pickers. Plants handling tomatoes include the Starr Fruit Products, Blue Lake Producers In West Salem, Roland Jerry at Liberty and the Spencer cannery at Lebanon.

Word has come out of Lebanon also of the need for pickers there and possible large loss from the crop unless more are signed up. Now Buying FILBERTS Top Prices H. R.

Acreage of red clover seed this year is estimated at acres, compared with acres in 1941 and the 10-year average of 946,800 acres. The 1942 acreage is the smallest in five years, but larger than that of 'any year between 1930 and 1937. Yield per acre, forecast at .93 bushel (56 pounds), equals the record low yield set in 1924. It compares with 1.06 bushels (64 pounds) in 1941 and the average of 1.16 bushels (70 pounds). Lowest yields were indicated for Illinois, Virginia, Maryland, Ohio and Iowa.

Loss in cleaning the 1942 crop, estimated at 18.4, is nearly two per cent greater than in If such loss actually occurs and the crop turns out as expected, production of clean seed will be approximately 872,000 bushels. (52,320,000 pounds) compared with 1,258,400 bushels pounds) last year. Growers expected to retain a larger portion of their 1942 crop than usual for sowing on their farms. If they carry out their intentions they will keep 34.2 per cent for their own use and will sell 47.3 per cent to dealers and 18.5 per cent to farmers. Prices to growers about September 19 were $9.42 a bushel ($15.70 per 100 pounds) for clean seed, compared with $7.53 ($12.55 per 100 pounds) last year and the 10-year (1930-39) average of $9.48 a bushel ($15.80 per 100 pounds) for corresponding dates.

Baker and Girl Capture Nazi London, Oct. 10 (P) The Germans turned out four Messer-schmitts today for a low altiture attack on an English town on tne southeast coast and one of the four was downed by British ground defenses. The plane crashed into an empty boarding house on the beach. The pilot, bleeding from face cuts, parachuted into an alley of the town where he was captured by a bakeryman and a young girl. Dispatches from the town said that "everyone was struck by his extreme youth."

10 (IP) More than 1000 townspeople left here this morning for the-potato fields of the Klamath basin to help in the harvest now in full swing. Hundreds of workers went out in private cars, while other ga thered in the front of the courthouse at 7 a.m. and were taken to the fields in farmers' trucks and four buses. The community of Tulelake sent two buses to move potato pickers to the south end of the basin. The town workers responded to an appeal to help meet a labor shortage in the harvest, and will participate in what farmers claim to be the highest farm wages be ing paid in the United States.

Men, women and children join ed the exodus to the fields.

The Monmouth PTA Meetings Start Monmouth The Monmouth Parent-Teacher association resumed meetings for the school year.

Speakers the evening were Dr. H. Knotkin and Miss Mary McConnel of the Polk-Benton health unit. Dr. Knotkin's subject, "Pre-, ventive Medicine," coincided with the theme, "Child Health," which is to be used throughout the year.

He stressed the following five points which doctors are urging the public to comply 1. See your doctor early in an illness instead of waiting until it becomes absolutely necessary. 2. Whenever possible go to the doctor's office instead of calling him to your home. 3.

If it is necessary to call a doctor, put in your call early in the morning so he can care for all patients in the locality in one trip. 4. Phone the doctor and tell him the symptoms of the illness. 5. Have all medical and dental problems taken care of now before the shortage of doctors and dentists becomes acute.

If these suggestions are followed, much valuable time will be saved. Miss McConnel, who urged everyone to take a course in home nursing, spoke on nutrition, well baby clinics and prevention of colds. The membership of the PTA has been depleted, due to numerous families moving from the rural area, so it is urged that all parents and others interested attend and take part in the organization. Meetings are held the first Monday in each month. Creamery Again 1 In Operation Silverton, Oct.
