PRICES IRREGULAR
ON FARM MARKETS
Weak Trend Shown in Most
Lines-MeIons, Peaches
Advance.

Price trend of most of the staple
farm products was weak and irregular
in early August, according to the United
States Department of Agriculture re-
port.
Changes were comparatively small,
although the tone still was unsettled.
Some of the grains sold a little lower
than in late July, but some feed grains
and millfeeds showed upward trend.
Prices of livestock, dairy products and
eggs slanted still downward without
sharp declines, and the same was true
of most fruits and vegetables, although
peaches, melons and lettuce advanced
under decreasing supplies from lead
ing producing sections.
Supplies Of potatoes continue light to
moderate, but demand is slow and
prices down Is cents per 100 pounds in
some markets, with not many safes
above $3.50 in the East or S275 in the
Middle West. Onions continue to sell
for yellow varieties of standard sizes.
Shipments are much lighter than in
early August last year. Lettuce ad-
vanced about 10 per cent in leading
markets. Peach and melon shipments
are decreasing and prices have recov-
cred somewhat from the lowest points
of the season. Apple markets are about
steady at rs cents to $1.25 bushel for
good fruit of standard kinds in Eastern
and Midwestern city markets. Canta-
loupes still sell at low prices in most
markets under liberal supplies of home
grown stock.
The butter markets in early August
were featured by light volume of trad
ing, receipts exceeding regular require
ments, continued storing of the sur
plus to receivers account and erratic
movement in daily prices within a mar
row range.
Cheese receipts were fully ample for
the light demand and prices in some
markets were fractionally lower.
Receipts of eggs continue in excess of
those OF year ago, and as the demand
for current consumption remains dis
appointingly light, further consign-
ments to storage are being made Prices
during the first week of August de-
clined " to cent per dozen as dealers
attempted to encourage wider current
use through lower prices.
Supplies of broilers and fryers are
increasing seasonally, and the price of
fryers weakened slightly in some mar
kets. Demand for dressed fowls is
mostly dull and inactive as the hot
weather of recent weeks has slowed
up the retail trade.
Arrivals of livestock are still heavy
although showing some decreases COM
pared with recent weeks. Trade In
dressed meats is slow, tending to de-
press livestock prices to some extent.
Strictly good and choice fresh steers and
yearlings were strong at Chicago the
first week Of August, but the medium and

Volume was a little higher. but still
moderate.
At one time or another gold stocks,

The foreign exchanges f1uctuated un-

The market opened higher and con-

From the start it was evident that there

ALASKA JUNEAU ABLE
TO MAKE GOOD REPORT
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 8.-The July and
seven months statements of Alaska Ju-
neau make favorable comparisons with
a year ago, notwithstanding the handi-
cap the company labors under in COM
mon with all other domestic producers,
because it is not able to sell its gold
in the world market.
So far that situation has not dis
couraged the mining of gold. If con-
tinued indefinitely, however, mounting
costs and an unchanging price for the
output must check operations.
In the era of deflation gold producers
had all the advantage. They have lost
it now except to the extent they can
benefit by currency depreciation, which,
in this country, is not at all.
