SALMON PRICE AT NEW LOW
Three Cents a Pound Paid by Canneries at
 Astoria

ASTORIA, Ore, Aug. "A new low price of three cents a pound for raw salmon went into effect yesterday at the Astoria canner- ies.
 The packers say even this price may be lowered.
 Operators blamed the chaotic conditions and increasing per- centage of a poorer quality of fish for the reduction in price.

ELECTRICAL TRADE
OUTLOOK IMPROVES
Radio Sales Also Expected TO
Gain During Political
Campaign.
BY FRANK II. MCCONNELL,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, June 25.-Hot weather
and an equally hot political campaign
are counted on to revive the sales Of
two important Observation-Disclosures
equipment and radio.
Orders for electrical goods have been
declining since 1929 when a peak rec
ord Of 81 1853. 900 900 was set. In 1880.
the total was Sl,044 00C.0 900 and IN 1881
it declined to S7l5.O00.00 900. In the first
quarter Of this wear the total ran AZ
per cent below the corresponding figure
of last year
The decline has been due primarily
to leSSened orders for heavy electrical
generating equipment from the power
industry and to the postponement of
electrification projects by manufactur-
ing companies The industry, however.
has been quick to utilize the appeal of
household appliances and lighter cleo
trical equipment for sales purposes,
and these divisions have turned in
fairly good records.
Electrical refrigeration has proved a
material help, according to the annual
and quarterly figures on sales published
by the Nations leading companies, but
new sales impetus is sought. The
industry. accordingly, has turned to the
field Of air cooling and air conditioning.
1t was noted last Summer that mo-
ton picture theaters which we're able
to boast Of cooling air drew crowds into
their playhouses, and the industry was
not slow to capitalize that Today, it
seeks to interest the home owner as
well as theaters and hotels IN air
conditioning.
The radio industry is one Of COM
paratively few that derives actual cash
benefit from national political cam
paigns. The presidential elections at
tract a quadrennial radio following.
Despite this impetus to sales, the in
dustry is not expected this year to
manufacture more than half Of the
100000 receiving sets turned out in
1929. In this field, as elsewhere, the
buying trend has been distinctly toward
lower priced models-and in many cases
to policy of keeping the old set going.

Market Near June 2 Lows.

NEW YORK, June 25 (SpeciaD.-
The stock market is ruling too near
the June 2 lows to be comfortable. At
the opening today the industrials were
only point up from the absolute min
imum, while the rails we're "a points
above it. 1t is pointed out that there
has been comparatively little rally since
the low levels were established In con-
traSt to those that occurred year ago
this month, as well as last October and
December and in February However,
the average decline is produced by
quite sharp losses in a comparatively
small number of stocks. whereas in the
previous declines it frequently hap
pened that from 25 to 40 per cent of
each days list touched a new low
record price.

Chicago has gone to a discount under

only scattered lots of United States
corn have been taken for export, but
trade specialists say this condition may
radically change later along in the

Chicago authorities point out that

price Of corn here was low, United

dered a more favorable decision on the
next quarterly dividend than most
stockholders had anticipated 1t was
realized that the former per cent
rate would not be likely to stand in
view of the intimate relation of the
operating companies to the general In
sull situation and also to the fact that
there were bank loans to be paid off
in July. About the best that was ex-
pected was rate of l per cent quar-
terly, but the announcement today
states that it is to be SIPS. With Peo-
piles Gas selling well below so and
Commonwealth Edison a few points
above that price, the average return
from the new dividend rate is approx

OF BRAN IN DIET
Supplies Bulk" and Vitamin
B for Constipation: Also
Iron for Blood

For ten years, now, millions have
found Kellogg's ALL-BRAS a safe
pleasant way 10 overcome common
constipation - with the headaches
loss of appetite and energy that s.
often result from this condition.
Recent laboratory tests show that
ALL-BRAN supplies "bulkp 20 ex.
ercise the intestines, and Nitamin
B to help tone the intestinal tract.
In addition, ALL-BRAN contains
twice as much blood-building iron,
by weight, as beef liver.
This "bulk" in ALL-BRAS is much
ike the bulk" in lettuce. Inside
the body, it absorbs moisture and
forms a soft mass, which gently
clears the intestines Of wastes.
Special cooking processes make
ALL-BRAN finer, softer, more pai-
atable. 1t is not habit-forming.
Think how much better it is 70
enjoy this delicious cereal than %
take endless pills and drugs, which
often lead to harmful habits.
Two tablespoonfuls daily-in
serious cases with every meal-are
usually sufficient. If your intestinal
trouble is not relieved this way, see
your doctor.
Serve ALL-BRAN as a cereal with
milk or cream, or use in cooking.

REPUBLICANS MAY SHIFT
ATTITUDE ON DRY ISSUE

egy to utilize such a well known
dry as HYDE to batter down the
opposition of dry forces.
Practically all Presidtnt Hoover's
political advisors favor a shift of
prohibition. Their difficulty, lies
in modifying the organized drys
who have supported the Republi-
cans in presidential elections.
Under the leadership of Senator
Borah Mrs. Mabel Walker Willie
brandt, the Anti-saloon League, the
w. c. T. o., and Bishop Cannon,
the dry votes were mobilized for
Mr.. Hoover in 1928. The danger
of offending these drys and pro-
voking retaliation is the greatest
difficulty which the Republican
high command faces.
Republicans have peen consider
ably cheered by portents on the
Democratic side. The Smith
Roosevelt conflict has assumed
more omnious proportions.
A serious situation apparently
has developed in New York state
where John f. Curry, Tammany
chief, has taken control of the
state Democratic organization, in
a preemptory manner which indi-
Gates he expects to give orders
rather than take them. From now
on, Roosevelt will be in constant
danger of embarrassment on his
home ground.

PALM DISEASES
ARE DESCRIBED
FOR DATE MEN

Five major diseases of the date
palm. Phoenix dactylifera, now
found in California, as well as
minor date palm diseases which
may prove more troublesome later
as the trees become older, are de-
scribed in Bulletin No. 532, just
issued by the University of Cali
fornia.
The authors of the publication
are II. S. Fawcett, professor OF
plant pathology in the university
citrus experiment station, and L. j.
Klotz. associate plant pathologist
The diplodia disease, decline, black
scorch. brown spot and black nose
are listed as the five major dis
eases.
The date palm industry is already
well established in California and
Arizona, according TO the bulletin
and is showing a steady growth.
A 1929 census showed approx
mately 214,000 palms in the two
states, with 10000 in Coachella
Valley, and 10000 in Imperial
county, California; 10000 in Salt
River Valley and $4,000 in the
Yuma district, Arizona. Half OF
these palms are between one and
five years old. Approximately
10000 900 pounds of dates were pro-
duced in California and Arizona i'll
1880.
Certain diseases OF date palms
that have not been found i'll Cali
fornia and Arizona are described
in the bulletin, not only as a mat
ter Of interest TO date growers, but
also in order that they may be
more readily recognized at their
beginning, should they by any
chance be introduced. Among these
is the bayoud disease, by far the
most serious disease OF date palms
known anywhere in the world,
and khamedj.

B. o. Mitchell and L. M. Wilson,
both of whom have been employees
