WHEAT is SUPPORTED
AFTER DRASTIC DROP
Report on Selling of Farm Board
SURPRISES Causes Sharp Break
at Chicago.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 19.-Fifty million
dollars loss on farm produce in the
hands of growers was estimated today
as the result of this weeks big fall in
prices, including grains and cotton.
The extreme new drop in wheat val
ues today was 31s cents a bushel, but
the market scored a substantial re-
covery in the final hour. Best recov-
cries came after statements credited
to Chairman Stone of the Federal
Farm Board that his organization
planned to sell its wheat only in non
competing countries.
Wheat closed nervous 1asa1T I'M
der yesterdays finish, corn 5sa7s down,
oats 1sa12 off and provisions showing
2 cents to 80 cents decline.
At the opening the wheat market
swept to about cents lower than the
close week ago. Bears urged that
Washington Government plans for dis
posing of surplus wheat abroad on
credit would not increase consumer use,
and would intensity commercial an
tagonism. One export house issued a
statement that the Washington plan
established a precedent that never be-
fore existed in the grain trade, which
had always heretofore been on a cash
basis.
Upturns from early price setbacks
were attributed largely to unofficial as
surances that proposals to sell wheat
to Europe on credit would not go
through. 1t was asserted that mem
bers OF the Farm Board we're opposed
to such program and that the Re-
construction Finance Corporation had
not at present the funds to advance
Rapid swings in quotations ensued
after initial sharp breaks, the market
fiuctuating through a range of about
2 cents, but with the volume of deal
ings becoming more moderate as the
day progressed.

SAFEWAY STORES
SHOW GAIN IN NET.
Big Chain Boosts Earnings in
Year Despite Lower
Commodity Prices.

Safeway Stores, Inc. reports net
earnings in 1881 of S6.43 a share on
the common stock, as compared with
S4.82 a share on the common in 1880,
the increase being partly due to the
acquiring Of the McMarr Stores last
September and in spite of the drastic
declines in commodity prices during the
year. Improved inventory control and
a higher rate of merchandise turnover
are given as the main reasons for the
fine showing.
Net profits for dividends in 1881 of
$50 represented the second high
est point in the company's history, only
being exceeded by that of the year 1929
when $6,l47,3l3 was reported. Since the
first of the year Safeway has changed
its system of reporting sales, giving up
the monthly basis for the weekly basis
The report states that last years
sales, including those of acquired COM
panies from dates of acquisition, totaled
SPAS, 1873 1898, compared with $219,284,-
TOT in 1880. The dollar volume was
1917 per cent higher, making tonnage
sales much larger, as the retail prices
OF commodities handled receded about
II per cent during the year.
Second Largest Chain.
With the acquisition of the McMarr
business, Safeway became the largest
chain store organization in the West
and second in the entire country. In
addition to 155 stores In Canada, the
company operates in 10 States west of
the Mississippi, as well as in Hawaii,
Virginia, Maryland and the District of
Columbia
A good percentage of the stores are
on the Pacific Coast, 1851 being in
California, 273 in Washington State and
$50 in Oregon. Nine stores have been
open in Honolulu, SO in Baltimore and
So in Virginia. The report states that
there are BIT stores In the District of
Columbia, this reference being to the
Sanitary and Piggy Wiggly stores
which are affiliated with Safeway.
The current position of the company
at the end Of 1881 represented a dis
tinct improvement from the close of
the preceding year, net current assets
advancing to $23, 454, 698 from s17,519,-
099. Current assets totaled $50, 685, 629
as compared with $24, 650,184 in 1880.
The increase of SO, 1853, 470, or more than
100 per cent, in cash. to $685., 003, and
the decrease of 1852, 285 to $1,170,927
in accounts receivable reflected the eff
forts of the company to give its assets
the highest possible degree of liquidity.
Current Liabilities Noted.
Current liabilities of 1920, 1871
showed little Change from the $7,131 ,085
of the preceding year The largest
items in current liabilities we're $l,430,-
600 notes payable and $2,754,119 &C
counts payable. In 1880 notes payable
totaled 100000 and accounts payable
$2,684, 284.
Capital and surplus amounted to
S44, 964 ,345, including paid in surplus
of $11, 497, $40 and earned surplus of
S7,794,557 at the close of last Decent
Der. On December 81, 1880, capital
and surplus totaled $36, $780, $50. Net
assets per share of preferred stock on
December 81 last was 1888, while the
book value of the common stock was
1864.

POTATO PRICE GAIN
LAID TO WEATHER
Spot Market for Old Stock Shows
100000 Increase in
Value.
BY F. A. RESCH.
Written for the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, March 19-The potato
industry, seeking ways and means of
boosting prices to help offset heavy
losses of the last two years, has found
some slight solace in prank Of the
weather.
A decided rise in spot market prices
for old potatoes representing an esti-
mated increase of $1,000,000 in mar
ket value-has resulted since recent
freezes which causes serious damage to
this years early and intermediary crops
in Southern States.
Wholesale prices on the Chicago
Mercantile Exchange for all grades
have jumped from Is to 20 cents per
hundredweight in the few days since
the freeze.
Idahos were up from $1.25 to STA
and $155; round whites, which sold for
rs and 80 cents last week. rose to IS
cents and 81, with proportionate in
creases in Eastern grades.
Because of damage by frost to the
early crop in the Southern potato belt,
Spring production from this area is
expected to be the lightest since 1920.
Reports from Florida have placed the
loss from cold as high as so per cent
of the early crop. In Texas estimates
have varied from 40 to 80 per cent.
Had there been no freeze, the Ma
tons early potato crop probably would
have approached or equaled last years
in volume, for Government figures
show that leading early potato States
planned to plant 3,328,000 acres this
year-only per cent less than the
1881 acreage.
New paintings in the frost damaged
areas are expected to compensate for
only a small fraction of the loss.
In Is leading late potato States the
prospective acreage of 1932-2,057,000
lis only slightly less than last years,
when about 2,108,000 acres were plant
ed. Projected paintings for this year.
however, will exceed the acreage of
two years ago by approximately 200, 900.

SEARCH FOR BUSINESS
GIVEN new MEANING
Many New Methods Adopted to
Boost Trade and Gross
Incomes.

Whatever disasters may be laid at the
door of the present depression, it has
certainly been conducive of some good.
Corporations and individuals are going
after business as never before. Nothing
is too small to be overlooked, says the
Magazine of Wall Street, for having cut
expenses to the bone, the veriest ex-
iStence of many now depends upon there
being no further drastic decline in gross
business. The last few weeks have been
replete with examples showing the in
tensive effort which is being made. The
ferry boats operating around Manhat-
tan are serving breakfast and luncheon
aboard to the great convenience of
countless commuters. The Jersey Gen.
trail Railroad IS now in the tour bust
ness and is selling tickets which entitle
the holder to transportation to and
from some resort. and his room and
meals while he remains there. The
Cunard Line Is offering a round trip to
Europe on the installment plan . .
as little as $34 down and the balance
less than $40 a month.

Commodity Price
Trends of Week
BY H. N. McGILL.

OF the McGil Commodity service, Inc.
AUBURNDALE, Mass, March 19 CP).
Commodity prices continue to seek
lower levels, and the easy-money policy,
eliminating in the Glass-Steagall bill,
which many believed would result in
imitation, up to the present time has
had no Strengthening effect on prices.
All commodities index failed to re-
tain the strength noted last week, ana
resumed its downward trend. Out OF
ID individual groups, were lower, 4
higher and remained the same.
Industrial prices were particularly
weak, only three groups showing an up
turn, two of these being cne-tepth OF
point each. Fuels n-ferrous met
ais, paint materials, paper, fine tex
tiles and vegetable oils were all lower,
building materials and ferrous metals
remained the same, while chemicals,
hides and leather, and coarse textiles
were fractionally higher.
Improved banking and financial con-
ditions continued to be the only 90
nestle bright spot in the business SIT
uation. improvement in banking con-
ditions during the past week is noted
in another drop in currency circula-
ton indicating a return OF money from
boarding, and also a favorable trend
toward member bank reduction OF debt,
thus developing excess reserves at the
Reserve banks, thereby increasing the
tendency to enlarge their loans and In
vestments
These financial improvements, how
ever, have not stimulated business &C
tivity. A continued decrease in rail-
road carloadings is one bit Of evidence
Of this fact, and in spite OF reduced
costs, including wage reductions, there
has been increasing apprehension in
regard to railroad earnings. An up
turn in commodity prices is absolutely
dependent upon an increase in indus
trial activity.
Agricultural prices failed to main
tain the strength shown in the pre-
viouS week. The index has resumed its
downward trend, making a new low
point Markets for agricultural prod
ucts are contending with large supplies,
increased production abroad, quota reg
ulations, tariffs and other trade restric-
tions. Until there is an Improvement
in purchasing power and an improve
ment in worldwide business conditions,
the prospect of strength in agricultural
markets is not bright.

In the Mirror" published at Wells, Minnesota, we find these pertinent questions asked: If a member of your family died. would you send out the obituary in a cir cular letter? If your wife enter tained, would you have it mention ed on the screen in the movie show? If you were to enlarge your store, would you tell the folks in a hotel register, or on a program? If you were to give a wedding at your house, would you tack the news on a telephone pole? Then why the heck don't you put your advertis- in the newspaper?
