 Boldly nominating his own famed march, "The Stars and Stripes For ever," John Philip Sousa explained:

 On the other hand, impressive strength was maintained by other leaders. Steel common pushed into new high ground for the year at 148h, up more than 2 points and General Electric crossed the 50-level for the first time this year, gain of nearly points. Further excited trading continued in J. I. Case, which scared nearly 10 points to 122. Motors and utilities as a group held firm and Westinghouse Electric continued it's rise.

 The slowing down of the advance in the main body of stocks had little effect on the utility shares in the late afternoon.

 The national outlook for poultry men during the coming year is for egg prices during the first half or the year at ls,'els lower than for the first half of .ast year, but next fall looks somewhat more encouraging to producers according to the report of the national outlook conference. The lower prices during the first half of the year are predicted be- cause a weaker demand is looked for from storage operators, smaller re- quiremen.s from commercial hatch cries and weaker demand from egg breaking plants. The expected re- covery next fall is based on the pro- Liabilities cf less competitor for fresh eggs from storge, better business conditions and increased demand, and some reduction in the number of hens of farms.
 The poultry market outlook. how ever, is rot as depressing from a producers standpoint This is due to the fact that holdings of dressed poultry in storage are less than year ago, demand has continued &C., tive with probability of an increased demand % follow later this year, and smaller numbers of polltry on farms than last year.
 The same national outlook con- ference estimated that dairy prod ucts will continue to sell at low prices throughout the coming year. This estimate is based on several factors. First; Our milk COW population has increased at more a normal rate the past two years. Second: Reduced returns from other products las lcc many farmers to resort to dairying and there Is little evidence as yet that production from these sources will be less this year. Third: Buai- ness depression has reduced demand
