was the statement made In the gov
crnment report issued last night by
G.. b. Alguire. assistant In marketing.
who is stationed horo during the
season.
The report gives a summary of tho
general conditions found in the dis.
trict and gives an interesting slant
ON the manner in which the crop
has started moving. Prices for the
various grades of corn are also given.
The report is as follows:
THE Lindsay broom corn market
has shown considerable more actiyi-
ty than for the week previous and
while enough brush Is arriving to
interest those inclined to purchase,
the receipts are light and trading
continues in a restrictive mood, with
sales confined to small number
OF dealers. Bankers throughout the
district have shown n disposition to
extend short time paper for the far
mers, thus putting the agricultural
interests on more independent
basis In effect this appears to
have checked a probable heavy move
ment of broom corn 10 market and
is allowing the mark citing conditions
TO open up normally. AS yet manu-
facturers are not buying freely and
to flood the markets In the face OF
limited demand II Is generally felt
will favor lower prices and the spec
ulative interests. Up to date heavy
receipts have thus been avoided and
with the exception of Lindsay has
forced the bulk of The trading at
the sheds.
Receipts on the Lindsay market
last week probably did not exceed
two cars per day. The bulk of this
Is reported to have been hauled from
15 to 80 miles. Farmers living closer
in appear to be in closer touch with
marketing conditions which, so far,
have proven disappointing to grow
ers and being influenced more by
the prices being obtained for the
bulk of the sales rather than an
occasional attractive price for some
choice crop have kept their corn
Cif the streets. At other points
dealers are driving the country and
practically all the broom corn arrlv-
ine are deliveries on prior sales.
Receipts for the entire district shows
an increase over the week previous.
The total amount in store at shipping
points August 20 was 81 car loads,
26 of which represents farmers hold
ings. This is an Increase OF two
cars over the week previous as
against 27 cars year ago, which
stocks however had nearly all been
purchased and were awaiting ship
nlent. With the exception of Lind
say, at which point there are II cars
the stored broom corn is quite gen
orally distributed at inc various ship
ping points.
Shipments to date were 26 car
loads for the district compared to
20 a year ago. Lindsay has shipped
II cars the past week and other
roints 10 cars or total Of 81 cars.
Considerable has also been purchas-
ed which has not yet been delivered
so it is quite likely that about so
cars of the new crop has changed
hands to date.
Under pressure of over anxiety
On the part of farmers to sell and
reluctance on theil part Of dealers
to buy general JwoaRness prevails
ani while equally as high prices
have been paid this past week the
bulk of the sales have not shown any
advance. Trade papers on the other
hand report more strength to the
broom business generally over the
country than has prevailed for
rionths.
Offerings generally do not indi-
cate a surplus of desirable hurl
and early predictions of heavy ton
age do not appear to be born out
as the actual production is being as
certained from the baling. Many
