OCTOBER PRICE FOR NORTH
CAROLINA FARMERS

AS evidence that the farmer is a
good scout, the present situation is
conclusive. Most crops have been
selling at below pre-war prices.
Many 1920 crops were sold at less
than the cost the farmer, allowing
him no time value To say the least,
he was the first to come to normalcy,
even if it did ruin many of his class.
The October prices, showing a slight
advance over recent months, have
mace many of these essential hard
driven producers quite optimistic
and caused their smiles to reappear.
The States Crop Reporting Service
report is presented herewith.
Everyone appreciates that high
prices and low incomes resulted in
decreased demand The farmers ac-
tion in decreasing acreages of cotton
and tobacco has resulted in far bet
ter net returns than were expected
Of course nature has played a heavy
hand of havoc in many sections of
the state and South, reducing the
supply. The wonderful production
OF corn in Iowa has resulted in about
Cne-third the price of the 9S cent
average received in North Carolina
Eastern counties are selling at low
er prices than are received in the
drought stricken piedmont areas
High freight rates permit of wide
variations.
Tobacco is gradually improving
the October prices averaging over 25
cents or slightly better than year
ago and 40 per cent of tho average
two years ago. The season begun
On basis lower than last year, but has
climbed upward.
Cotton, last year. averaged about
five cents a pound above the October
average of near 10 cents, which in
turn is half Of the April 1920 prices.
The Eoll Weeyil combined with the
weather and reduced acreage to give
the present crop the lowest yield per
acre on record. The production
Price returns should correspond. The
low cost of production was at the
expense of the labor of the farmers
family and himself, as he had no
cash or credit to secure labor and
fertilizers. 1t is no compliment to
other industries that he was forced
to this end. Suppose he had, with
far more cause, done like many 9TH
ers, laid down on his job? Yet he
is usually blamed rather than cred
tied for his unfailing loyalty and
sacrifice Other classes have follow
ed a-far off in getting back to where
we ought to be in costs of essential
products.
Hogs at live weights were SO per
cent higher year ago and 100 per
cent more two years ago than the
$3.50 per hundred pounds present
average. All livestock have decreas-
ed noticeably.
Milk at SO cents retail, has de-
creased 2 cents gallon; peanuts at
s.8' cents per pound now, sold at 10
cents year ago and the present
crop is extremely poor; sweet pota-
toes at $1.L5 per bushel are SO cents
less than last year; in May, cotton
seed were selling at $500 per ton
Or 25 per cent of the price IL months
previous. while they have advanced
to above $4,000 now; Eggs at 81
cents, are Is cents cheaper than a
year ago. and honey at "a cents a
pound is seven cents less than a
year ago, although this year has
been a record one for poor produc-
ton and loss of colonies.
A study of the prices of commodi-
ties, indicate that labor is the big
item in high price levels. Farmers

CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-Wheat made a
firm finish on the Chicago Board of
Trade here today. Houses with ex-
port connections took the surplus out
of the market on the break and later
in the session when the extent Of ex-
port business at the Seaboard was
given out, shorts started covering
movement which carried prices sharp
ly higher. The close in wheat found
prices 1A to 2A up: corn "a to 1

Buying Power Apparently
Not Seriously Impaired;
Repayment of Its Debts
Is Proceeding Sl0wl y

considered, the Volume of the more
necessary articles of merchandising
being distributed throughout the Mid
die West is remarkably good. espc-
cialIy at RETAIL" says the review of
business conditions issued to-day by
the Chicago Federal Reserve Bank.
"This is worthy of note in view of
the hand o-mouth buying policy of
tinues, "and the generally prevailing
spirit of conservatism in ali lines of
business endeavor from the producer
and the manufacturer to the distrhu-
ter and consumer. This indicates
buying power worthy of notice. AL
though The manufacturer is moving
with extkeme caution in directing any
expansion Of operations at his plant,
the buyer is equally conservative,
whether purchasing for household use
or in lalger quantities for plant con-
SUMPTION.
empprarily, at least, the credit
situation' reflects improvement. With
the reduction of loans at member banks
and by member banks at the Federal
Reservc] Bank, the reserve against
combined deposit and note liability
has been increased above &c per cent
Due consideration must be given at
this time to the prospective credit re-
quircments of agriculture, merchand-
ising and manufacturing lines in order
to maintain production equal to the
actual needs of the consuming public
Prepayment of debts, both at the
banks and elsewhere is proceeding
slowly and those who have made a
careful survey report that another crop
will be required fully to clear up the
Indebtedness, much of which was in.
Cured when agricultural and other
products were at higher price level.
1t is quite probable that further and
large advances will be called for as
the livestock feeding season develops,
first, because of the large amount Of
corn and other feed on hand. and,
second, because the farmers experience
under present market conditions in
dlcates to him that the most profitable
way to dispose of corn is through it's
conversion into beef and pork"
Returns from monthly questionnares
to business firms indicate a gradual
improvement, the bank says. An ap-
pearancc of restock orders was the
feature Of the July wholesale trade.
An additional element of encourage
ment is the growing belief that prices
have reached low level in important
staple lines.

was done by Americans. Little buyins

Favorable Outlook
For Fall Trade Seen
By Reserve Board
Report Cites Improvement
in Foreign Business and
Fairly Good Crop Yields
as Hopeful Indications

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-Indications
of a broad general business recovery
throughout the country are still lack
ing, ccording to the review of financial
and economic conditions during August,
issued tonight by the Federal Reserve
Board.
"Slight Improvement" the board said,
"in some branches of foreign trade,
fairly good agricultural yields and en-
largement of manufacturing demands
seem to point to more favorable au-
tumn season, but the situation is not
such as to forecast any extensive or
immediate revival of business in a
large sense"
Revival of Export Demand
Heavy movement of agricultural
products to market. hastened by a re-
vival of fair export demand. the
board declared was the outstanding
economic activity Of the month. De-
terloraatlOn Of some crops, it added,
notably cotton, had modified the agri-
cultural outlook but cost readiust-
ments in many agricultural lines were
approaching a point where it was pos
slple that some crops would show good
returns.
Early crop movement, the board con-
e1il"eu, WIN resulting lQuldatlON OF
outstanding Indebtedness, had lessened
The intensity of the credit demands
usual during the marketing season.
Taking up the employment problem,
which President Harding has called a
national conference to solve, the board
asserted that large figures for unem-
ployment have been transmitted to
Congress, but it should be Remembered
that these figures are based or IN
par1sons with peak periods o. cmp:oy-
ment in 1920. here are indicntlofs Of
increasing employment in various raali,
ufacturing industries, but, taken rs q
whole, the employment situation for
the month of August appears IT, show
but little change from the preceding
month"
Employment Here Increases
In New England the board reported
the leading industries, now fairly ac-
tive, were not taking on any more en-
ployees, while the demand for skilled
workers was largely confined to the
building trades, with practically no de-
mand for unskilled labor.
Slight gains in the numbers employed
in New York were about balanced by
Losses in others, while in the agricuI-
tural sections there was decided drop
IN the demand for farm labor.

Stronger Demand Felt
For Canned Goods Again

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 31.-"Can-
ners of fruits and of salmon report a
distinctly stronger demand for their
products in the last few weeks" az
cording to the San Francisco Federal
Reserve Banks business review, is.
sued to-day, "and the opening prices
of the principal fruit Gamer have twice
been raised on certain varieties Of
fruit, while other varieties have been
sold out entirely.
Reports from the retail and whole
sale trade affirm conclusions drawn
from earlier reports-namely, that the
volume of the movement of goods 1t
retail exceeds that at wholesale. The
average price decline Of goods reported
by stores is about 20 per cent, and It
is apparent that the volume of goods
now being sold by these large retailers
is in excess Of that moved year ago.
Concentrations cannot be used in
summarizing conditions affecting raw
products OF the district other than
fruits. Marketing is proceeding rapid
~ with some and with others the move
ment is sluggish"
