This season much stock was held on

glutted over a longer period than
they should have been, but the stock
held back had deteriated in quality
by the time it was unloaded.
Many comments were heard in the
deal regarding the excellent distri-
button which was being given the
shipments. This one factor prob
ably helped III great measure to
maintain the exceptionally healthy
market conditions which prevailed
at that time.
Later in the deal a feeling of over
confidence seemed to enter the
minds of many shippers and tend
fncy to relax on their efforts to-
ward widening the distribution of
shipments became more apparent.
Probably due to the general preva-
lenee of this feeling, il was finally
found necessary to discontinue the
daily distribution meetings which
had been held in the bureau S office
up to then.
Supplies from the first peak ship
ments, which should have been des-
tined partially into smaller towns,
began 10 make their appearance in
the key markets such as New York,
Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, Pitts
burgh and Boston. As a result the
terminal markets became sluggish
under heavy supplies and prices de.
clined both there and at shipping
point. If the shipments had been
given better distribution for few
days longer, the eastern markets
might have reacted sooner and bet

concerned.
