WITH INDUSTRIES


The Oregon Retailers Journal has
printed a lengthy article, telling of
the aims of the Oregon State Cham
ber of Commerce, how it was organ
lied, and why. Sydney B. Vincent is
the author, and here are excerpts
from the article, which has been
sent to the press of the state for
publication by the state chamber:
Leading in many things, proud of
her record of the past, and looking
forward to the future with the hope
of great achievement, Oregon citi-
zens have organized the Oregon State
Chamber of Commerce, the coordi-
mated creation of many minds who
have studied state development, in
Oregon and elsewhere, to determine
Just how best to bring about the
maximum of results in state develop
ment with the minimum of expense,
distributing the work incident to the
organization as equally as possible,
and yet insuring the proper meshing
OF all parts of the chamber machin-
cry.
without doubt, the Oregon State
Chamber of Commerce is the most
perfect example of state unity and
cooperation existent in this country
today.

Securities and Money
New High Records
Reached by Some
Industrial Stocks
But Standard Issues Fail
TO Keep Pace With Adj
vance of "Specialties'';
Call Money Still Tight

Yesterdays market afforded strik-
ing example OF what the professional
clement can do with individual stocks
in small floating supply. New favor
ties were pusned forward for sensa-
.ional advances, and in many cases
new high record prices were estab
lished.
The general market, however, was
more of a two-s sided affair. with an
more seasoned industrial shares did
not keep pace with the highly volatile
specialties. Bidding up of the spe-
cialties looked like cover for profit
taking in other parts of the list. Con
tinuance Of such gyrations in the spe-
cia issues is likely to bring in large
outside participation in the market,
provided it is not carried to extremes.
Taking the market as whole the
performance was not impressive as it
would have been had the standard is
sues kept pace with the less we'll
known spccalties. 1t was too lopsided
to be convincing to most observers who
hold that issues like Steel common
and the rails must be given proper
recognition in any general upward
movement in prices. ...s
There was an absence of news de-
velopments with, direct bearing on
prices, and traders in stocks had to
seek elsewhere for new impulses. No
doubt this fact was responsible in
large measure for the turning of spec
ulative effort. to the unseasoned in
dustrals.
No signs of easier money appeared;
in fact, the stringency was moro pro-
nounced, for the renewal rate of per
