FARMERS
SMILE IN VA,

Sheepmen who market their
wool through the Virginia Farm
Bureau pool in cooperation with
the national wool marketing
organizations in New England
are receiving an increase OF 20
cents a pound, an advance OF
approximately 76 per cent of the
market price, while the present
advance exceeds the whole price
usually paid.
Wool prices have shown a
greater advance than prices Of
any other farm product in this
section. Indications are that
wool prices will continue to ad-
vance and the growers who mar
ket their wool through the Vir-
ginia wool pool will receive their
share of any increase in prices
that may prevail when their
wool is sold to the trade.
Sheep growers, who have been
losing money on wool for the
last IS years, are beginning to
pool their product, with the re-
suit that they are getting better
prices each year.

O|LPRODUCT|ON
AND PRICES
BOOSTED

There was an increase Of
23,200 barrels in the daily
average crude oil production Of
the United States last week, the
Oil and Gas Journal reports.
Production rose from 2,738,020 to
2,761,2 ,220 barrels daily.
Oklahoma output advanced
from 556,265 to 613,940 barrels
daily, with the Oklahoma City
field supplying almost half this
amount. East Texas production
fell still further, from 756,255 to
701 $40 barrels, while the output
Of the entire State of Texas de-
creased from 100000 to 1,271e
337 barrels a day.
California Output Off
California production was down
from $4,000 to 474,500 barrels.
Kansas showed another advance.
from 110,620 to 1850 barrels
daily. Production in Eastern
fields was up 1000 to 10000
barrels daily. while in the Rocky
Mountain region output rose
from 1890 to 1850 barrels .
day.
Following an advance Of 80
cents a barrel in midcontinent
crude oil, Sinclair-Prairie Oil
Marketing Co., posted an advance
of IS cents a barrel in East Texas
crude oil. This brings the price
in the latter field to rs cents q
barrel.
Both Effective Today
Both advances are effective as
of July 6. The initiative in the
midcontinent was taken by Con-
tinental Oil Co., which posted new
prices ranging from 81 cents q
barrel on the oil below % degrees
gravity to IS cents on 40 gravity
and above. This was Immediately
met by Sinclair-Prairie and later
by Barnsdall Corp.
The average grade of crude oil
in the mid-continent, 36 degrees
gravity, is thus brought UP to TT
cents a. barrel. Commensurate
advances in other fields will un-
doubtedly follow.

PRICES FOR RAW

The strong and upward surge
OF foreign exchange last week
caused numerous raw materials
In the drug and fine chemical in
dustries to rise sharply in price
last week, according to the cur
rent Oil, Paint and Drug Re
porter.
The movement carried manu-
factured products to new high
price levels and placed the mar
ket in a strong position. Among
articles selling at advanced prices
were bismuth metal, crude iodine
and tartaric acid.
Higher foreign exchanges also
forced advances in the New York
prices for brucine sulphate, qui-
nine sulphate and bisulphate, cod
liver oil. menthol, bismuth sub
nitrate and resublimed iodine.
Rising replacement costs were
also established for many bo-
tanicaI drugs, essential oils, gums
and wakes and spot prices for
such merchandise we're strong,
oftentimes higher, and generally
upward in tendency.

GAINS IN STEEL
. GIVE No SIGN
Of ABAT|NG

NEW YORK, July G.N.S0.
The rising curve Of steel output
has shown no signs of slackening,
with current operations placed at
Sc per cent of capacity, compared
with So per cent a week ago, the
Iron Age summary reports today.
This advance is held all the
more significant in that it came
in the face of holiday interrupt
tions in various finishing depart
ments, notably tin plate mills.
Biggest Gain in South
At Chicago, operations rose
from SIS to 81 per cent; at Buffalo,
from 48 to go per cent; in the
Cleveland-Lorain area, from II to
"a per cent; in the Wheeling dis
trict, from IS to 80 per cent: in
eastern Pennsylvania, from 35 to
40 per cent, and in the South,
from 81 to 70 per cent.
With the industry assured of
sustained operations through July
by heavy specifications against
expiring second quarter contracts,
prices are undergoing readjust-
ment in conformity with expected
ehanges in operating costs.
All of the changes thus far have
been in keeping with the expressed
policy Of the National Industrial
Recovery Administration.
Rails and Pipe Up
Previous prices on bars, plates,
shapes, and semi-finished steel
were reestablished for the third
quarter. Wire prices likewise were
faffirmed, although quotations on
nails were marked up $5 a ton.
Hot-rolled strip and sheets are
being quoted at prices originally
announced for this quarter, but
subsequently withdrawn. Ad-
Wances in pipe, ranging up ST a
ton for the base sizes, partially re-
store sharp reductions made a few
months ago.
An increase of $5 a ton on cold
folled strip is in line with produc-
tion outlayS. Among minor
products, track spikes have been
raised SIS a ton for July shipment.
Demand Diversified
Steel demand is steadily be-
coming more diversified. Although
considerable recent buying of steel
may have been for stocking pur-
poses, it is also true that conSump-
tion is steadily gaining, in some
instances forcing buyers to make
immediate use of their inventory
material.
Advances in heavy melting scrap
at Chicago and Philadelphia have
caused the Iron Age composite for
scrap to rise from $10.08 to $10.54
q gross ton. Higher prices on
pipe, sheets, and strip have raised
the Iron Age composite for
finished steel from 1.90c to 1870
p pound. The pig iron composite
is unchanged at $1501 a gross ton.

Mills took the position that it would

approval of the code before taking on
