Weather important Factor
in Determining Food
Prices.
BY RAIDER Vyinget

@ GATHER is one of the great
WI est factors in determining
the price trend Of wholesale
food articles. This necessarily
applies to retail food prices also.
When asked. What causes fluc
tuations in livestock quotations.
traders invaribly answer, Supply
and demand"
But supply and demand are con
trolled by the weather. The public
eats certain foods during hot
weather and the same Goods are
forgotten during a cold spell.
Citrus fruits are bought in great
quantities during a hot sultry spell
and practically all that can be
shipped into the city are consumed.
Prices are boosted accordingly. At
the peak of the heat wave during
the past summer wholesale lemon
prices were boosted to S13 a crate,
at the present time lemons are
wholesaling for S4.75 crate.
on the stands at the city market
lemons sold at so cents a dozen in
midsummer and the quality Of the
fruit was not very good considering
the value placed on them. People
bought lemons in large quantities
and took any quality they could
get.
Today on the stands of the city
market good lemons are priced at
10 and 20 cents a dozen and very
few takers are found at this price.
The weather was the determining
factor in the price trend.

SISLER'S RECORD GOOD
Young Manager 800 Hitter With
Exception of First Year.

BIZ NEA Serrice
ST. LOUIS. Jan. 22.-George
Sister. manager of the st. Louis
Browns, has been in the big leagues
since 1915. And outside of his debut
season, when he played in only about
half the games, never has finished
below the 800 mark in batting.
Sisler had his best year in 1922.
He hit .420 that campaign, equaling
Ty Cobb's American League record
for sticking proclivities. Cobb set
his mark in 1911.
Sisler, besides being a star clubber,
also has done well as a runrgetter
and base-stealer. He has passed the
century figure in bringing counters
over the plate on several occasions
and in 1922 topped the pilferers with
81 swipcs.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Continued
strengthening of their position was
set forth in the weekly Federal re-
serve statements, the ratio OF the
local bank climbing to SO per cent
against S1.S per cent a week ago
and of the system as whole to
74.4 per cent compared with 1871 per
cent a week ago. This evidence of a
large supply of credit for all
purposes gave some encouragement
TO speculative sentiment and the
market was slightly steady in the
early dealings.
However, further pressure was
eXerted against special stocks and
new lows on the movement were
seen in a number Of issues. u. S.
Steel declined 3s to 1872, International
Combustion Engine II to 53%; Amer
lean Smelling y 1908, New York
>Central u to 127A.
Stocks received some stimulation
in the late morning from burst of
strength in shares of hard coal, fol-
lowing announcement of negotiations
for settlement of the anthracite
strike would take place Immediately.
Lehigh Valley advanced rs to 81 IS +,
Delaware & Hudson IL to 1861 and
Lackawanna IL to 144A.
International Agricultural was one
of the few strong spots of the indus
trial list, gaining 17s to 257s, "a rec
ord for these shares. Company's
affairs are rapidly improving and
directors are expected to take some
action toward clearing up preferred
dividend accumulations in the near
future.

@HEN the mercury in the
Wl thermometer scurries toward
the zero mark the general
public finds it must eat more pork.
But when the same column in the
thermometer scars the demand for
pork falls. Prices are changed di-
rectly with the demand caused by
the weather conditions.
The demand is not always the de
termining factor because the supply
of a certain material plays just as
important a part in price trend.
Here again, the weather is called to
account.
A cold snap viii bring heavy re-
ceipts to the local livestock ex-
change, but if a sudden, thaw &C.
ours the receipts fall off. The cause
is obvious to the experienced trader.
Hard frozen roads enable farmers to
truck hogs and other livestock cas-
lily, but the thaw causes the roads
to become soft, impeding travel
