NEW YORK, March Visible
supplies of the principal grains are
receding gradually. while deficient
moisture in the domestic winter
wheat belt implies limited harvests
unless rainfalls become more pro-
fuse. These developments were in
terpreted in trade circles today as
factors that might offset reactionary
market tendencies occasioned by a
further recession in business &C
tivity and continued foreign ex-
change uncertainty.
With respect to wheat, weather
reports show that many sections OF
the belt have been confronted with
a lack of adequate rainfall ever
since the last harvest. Thus, prep
arations for this years crop were
conducted under moisture con-
ditions far below normal. During
the winter plants in many areas
often we're exposed to frost with
out sufficient snow covering.
AS a result, the winter wheat crop
is entering the spring months with
an increasing deficiency of subsoil
m sture. The parched state of the
soil is emphasized by the violent
dust storms of recent weeks, con-
fined to the West and Southwest
Favorable growing conditions are
reported only from the Eastern Sec
ton of the belt, other areas being
below normal.
Department of Agriculture Off
Gals estimate that 121 per cent of
normal moisture is needed from now
on until harvest to secure average
yields in the Western plains section
Moreover, some authorities point out
that the chance are about five to
one that the necessary amount of
precipitation will be received. SINH
larly, the spring wheat outlook re-
mains uncertain because many OF
the growing areas also lack normal
moisture.

Home Made
CigarptS Up
in depression
Roll Your Own Type Galr
Nearly 8-FoId in
Five Years.
BY HOWARD CARSWELL
Times Special Writer

NEW YORK, March 12.-USage of
roll your own" cigaretS has leaped
nearly eight-fold in the last i've
years Of hard times, judging by the
sharp increase in the number OF pa
perS put out for roll your own" a
checkup disclosed today. Smoking
of factory made cigarets also has
increased during the depression, but
to a much less spectacular extent.
The indicated consumption of the
cheap hand-rolled "homespun" SO
popular in rural sections would seem
to point to a potential market for
talor-made cigaretS Of 165 100000 900
year, according to Tobacco Leaf,
leading publication in the trade.
Consumption of the factory made
smokes approXimates 100000 900
annually, so the American market for
standard brands of tailor-mades
apparently is not near to saturation.
If the homespun cigaretS were
factory-made, the Federal govern
ment would derive S13O,OOO,0O0 or
more annually on the basis of the
So cigaret tax, Tobacco Leaf esti-
mates.
Internal Revenue Department fig
ures cite the great jump in the num-
Der of cigaret paper packages used
during the depression years.
Booklets of less than Is leaves are
tax free, but they are reported to
the government by the tobacco
manufacturers. The figures cover
the fiscal years ended June 80 and
the latest available full year is that
ended last June 80, 1884. Govern
ment figures are usually six months
or more late in coming out.

With a normal run of supplies on

Receipts were estimated at 5000,
the largest number on hand for

was slower and several buyers were
hesitant in marking purchases after
considering the amount Of hogs
available. The majority of today'S
supplies, however, we're consumed
with only 361 holdoverS.
The bulk, 100 to $50 pounds, sold
at 1856 to $965, while extremely
good grades were reported at 1910.
Heavies, ranging from $50 pounds

Others weighing 100 to 1870 pounds,
sold at $6.75 to SITS. Packing sowS
were salable at 1925 to $500.
Slaughter steers were active and
firm in the cattle market with early
sales of medium grades ranging
from $685. to $11.75. Few choice
weights held above $13. Vealers were

NEW REFINING
METHODS seen
AID TO METALS
High Purity Obtained in
Modern Processes Gives
Greater Strength.
By Times Special

By Times Special
NEW YORK, March l2.-Highly
efficient refining Of zinc. copper, lead
and nickel to an extreme degree of
purity is a metallurgical achieve
ment promising extension of the
commercial uses of these metals. B.
H. Strom. consulting metallurgical
engineer. said today He is a men,
Der of the ditorial staff of the En-
gineering and Mining Journal and
Metal and Mineral Markets.
Largely due to the spur of compe-
tition, zinc is now being refined to
state of 99998 per cent purity in
quantities Of many thousands of
tons annually, principally for Usage
in die castings. Copper is refined to
a 1898 per cent purity while chemi-
cal lead, a superior grade, is refined
commercially up to 9999 per cent.
Nickel, whose industrial uses have
greatly expanded in recent years, is
now approaching the 9999 per cent
flneneSs commercially.
Ole-OdSllnSS stronger
Because zinc finds such a large
market in zinc die-castings for sun
dry machinery uses, its common i'm
puritieS of lead and cadmium have
had a weakening effect on the
metals strength. The automobile
industry is the largest user of zinc
die-castingS. The reW Jersey Zinc
Co., the Anaconda copper Co. and
the Bunker Hill and Sullivan Co.,
using the Taunton process, have long
striven to improve the refining of
zinc to eliminate the bad effects of
these impurities.
Cadmium and lead, under high
humidity and heat, tend to oXidize
and thus weaken the die-CaStingS
strength, according to Mr.. Strom.
High purity zinc also improves
the bending and twisting properties
of galvanized steel wire when APP
piled electrolytically as a coating.
In his field Bethlehem Steel Co.
has pushed its "Bethanized" wire
with a heavy coating of highly pure
zinc. This type of wire finds big
market in the telegraph and tele-
phone industries.
Highly pure copper, or wire bar
| copper has its major market in cleo
trical machinery and wire. In this
case the impurity is oxygen in the
minute proportion of 02 to 04 per
cent. This oxygen impurity, with
others, induce fatigue" and weak
ness in the red metals standing up
under vibration. American Metal
Co. has progressed far in refining
highly pure copper, according to Mr..
Strom.
Lead Refining Easy
Lead is comparatively easy to re-
fine and the so-called chemical lead
has long been of high purity There
is not such great commercial de-
mand for highly pure lead as there
is for highly pure zinc, copper and
nickel
Usage of nickel in alloy steels,
stainless steels, nickel-silver and
nickel-copper alloys has greatly ex-
panded. In nickel's case, the harm
full impurity to be refined out de-
ponds upon the kind of alloy the
nickel is to be used in. Carbon for
some time has been successfully re-
fined out. In some cases traces of
iron in the nickel are considered
harmful. For other uses, a slight
content of copper is bad.
Copper and nickel are taken from
the same ores by the International
Nickel Co. and the refinement Of
nickel is thus a more expensive
process

From the private recipe file
Of Mrs. Ralph c. Mulligan,
comes the following delicious
dessert:
BANANAS A LA CREOLE"
Take one medium sized pine
apple, three oranges, four ba.
nanas, and the juice Of u
lemon. Scoop out the inside
of the pineapple. Do not on
any account cut the fruit
with a steel knife. Mash to
a pulp with a silver fork. Pee
the bananas and oranges, re-
moving the pips and inner
skins of the latter.
Take the kernel Of a very
small coconut, and chop it
fine - do not use desiccated
coconut, and stir into the fruit
until all is thoroughly mixed.
Add two tablespoons Of pow.
dered sugar and the lemon
juice. Stir lightly with a fork,
place in a glass dish, and pack
in ice for two hours before
serving.
