Seek Treasury

Treasury Savings Certificates are
finding favor in foreign lands as well
as in every section of the country
and our outlying possessions" said
Lew Wallace, Jr., Director Of the IT,
S. Government Savings System.
Every State in the Union has pur-
chasers, and the Treasury receives
orders from Alaska, Hawaii, the
Philippines, the Canal Zone, the Vir-
gin Islands and Porto Rico. But it
is not alone in the United States and
its possessions that this savings Sc
curity is in demand. Orders also
come from Canada, Cuba, Mexico,
San Domingo and Peru, while just
recently there was a request for in
formation about the certificates from
Rome, Italy. Some of the purchas-
ers of the certificates in these dis
tant lands take the limit, $4,000,
while others by the smallest denom-
ination, a S25 certificate. This wide
spread sale shows that the savings
spirit is becoming an American trait,
for usually these purchasers of GER
tificates are American citizens"

PRODUCE REVIEW

The demand for dressed poultry
has not been brisk, and selling mar
kets have reflected the condition
quickly, somewhat lower prices pre-
vailing. Quite large surplus has
been placed in storage for sale later.
Arrivals of live poultry at East
ern markets have been lighter this
week following Thanksgiving, but as
quite q few cars were carried over
from last week, there has been q
full supply available.
The u. S. Dept. of Agriculture in
its preliminary report shows stock
of butter and eggs in cold storage
December / as follows:
Butter Eggs
1922, 47,sO5, 900 lbs. 3,25s.OOO cases
1921, 65,l29 900 lbs. 100000 cases
Shortage, 1924 900 lbs. Excess,
$4,000 cases.
Deliveries Of cream are about nor
NAL for this season Of the year, but
the market tendency has been high
er and this has been reflected in the
higher prices for butterfat through
out the producing sections. Con-
sumption Of butter is not as heavy
as few weeks ago and any further
decrease in consumption or increase
in production would have a tendency
to make for lower prices.
The supply Of fresh eggs continues
light Considering the demand,
prices have reacted a little from the
high point, and buyers are taking
more conservative position, due to
prospects Of some increase in pro-
ducton throughout the West and
Southwest.
