CONTROL OF CATTLE
SUPPLY HELD NEEDED
Large Offerings at Markets and
Slump in Demand Cause
Price Drops.
BY FRANK I. WELLER,
Associated Press Farm Editor.

Pulled out of bad situation by hand
to-mouth trading, the cattle market is
on nettles lest the country decide to take
advantage Of the slight price advance to
renew heavy loading.
This is especially true because next
week includes the Fourth of July holi-
day and is proverbially period of more
or less erratic markets and price trends
Beef is not moving freely, and another
run of supplies such as drove values to
new low levels for the year last Mon
day and to the lowest in more than
three years, again might put all four
chief classes of beef cattle back sharply
under the 1927 price line.
Although prices have recovered so
cents to 81 since their sensational new
dive, sellers are wary of the advance
1t followed starvation runs and is un-
stable to the extent that supply figures
were reduced below normal To the
same degree the uptyirn is fictitious, al
though the dressed trade has had some
opportunity to work away from the con-
gestion stage during the period that live
cattle have been running so meagerly.
There is little to be learned from the
late market action, since prices paid
when cattle offerings were heavy and
Monday bear little resemblance to the
way traders acted when supply abridg-
ment became so pronounced that in an
effort to get enough cattle to keep
killing gangs going and to I'LL moderate
Eastern orders SUFFICIENT competition
was injected into the trade to start
prices rolling swiftly upward.
Whether they will be able to hold the
pace is largely matter of whether re-
ceipts are kept down. Likely some of
the advance on weighty shipper steers
was due to the fact that killers antici-
pated light run early next week, and
merely took time by the forelock to pro-
vide themselves with stocks they be-
lieved may be too scarce to 60 around
next Monday and Tuesday, when the
demand for them will be broadest.
Whereas too many cattle were re-
sponsible for the depressed market in
1925, it appears that lack of consumer
demand is responsible for the almost
parallel situation now.

CANNING INDUSTRY
HAS BRIGHT OUTLOOK
Ample Supply of Products Seems
Assured in Present
Season.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The possibility of shortage of ma
jor canning products in 1880 is con-
sidered practically nil in authorita-
tive circles.
While the season is yet too young
to even hazard an estimate on produc-
ton of this class. the Department of
Agriculture says the increased acreage
now under cultivation will more than
offset anything but an exceptionally
poor yield.
The department has completed an
estimate on the production of green
peas, which gives total output for
1880 of 45,897 900 pounds or an in
crease of 6.67 per cent over last year.
The yield of this product suffered to
the extent of 81 pounds an acre as
compared with 1929, but the area un-
der cultivation increased to 264,210
acres, which represented gain of 1871
per cent over last year.
Tomatoes under cultivation in 1880
are distributed over 362,960 acres as
against 294.970 in 1929, or an increase
of 22.9 per cent; sweet corn acreage
is ,553 as against 350,530 in 1929,
gain of IL per cent, and snap beans
cultivation amounts to 1,142 acres as
against $1,000 in 1929, gain of 1853
per cent.
The 1880 forecast OF production of
green peas is 9 per cent larger than
the production last year. The indi-
Gated yield per acre is 312 per cent
lower than the estimated yield in 1929,
and is 10 per cent below the average
yield during the period 1859.
Although the present years estimate of
acreage is 26 per cent larger than the
average for the last five years, the in
dicated production is only about Is per
cent larger than the flve-year produc-
ton.
Although Agriculture Department Of
ficials regard production of other can
ming products uncertain, particularly
in specific sectors, they have no heSi-
fancy in declaring the increased cul-
tivation will produce in amply suff1-
cient nilantities

CRAB PRICES CHEAPER
IN BALTIMORE MARKET

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, June 28.-Soft crabs
are selling retail cheaper here this year
before the Fourth of July than they
have been for the past 10 years.
The present figures are SIPS to $2.25
a dozen for good-sized crabs In pre-
vious years the prices prior to the Fourth
usually ranged from about $1.50 to 81
dozen for the same size crabs as those
offered this year.
The reason for the present low figure,
the dealers say, is the clear, warm
weather which has prevailed recently.
Hard crabs also are selling at lower
figures than usual. They may be bought
for as low as IS cents a dozen.
