FARM NOTES

Rad weather, whether actually be-
ing experienced or only anticipated
effects the prices of eggs to the dis
advantage OF both consumer and pro-
ducer.
This is the opinion of Don Mont
gomery, consumers counsel OF the
Agricultural Adjustment Administra-
tion in Washington, who stated re-
Gently that CONSUMERS are asked
10 pay high prices when bad weather
actually causes a temporary reduc-
ton in the movement of eggs to mar
ket and are also charged high prices
when bad weather is only anticipated
but has not yet arrived"
"As for what farmers are now get
ting for eggs" Montgomery said,
'"rhe number of dozens OF eggs re-
.quired at this time to buy 100 pounds
of poultry ration is an indicator OF
the producers position. At prices
received by farmers on January 2,
producers would have to sell about
seven dozen eggs to buy 100 pounds
of poultry ration whereas year ago
they could buy the same amount OF
feed for the money received from
the sale of five and one-fourth dozen
eggs"
The margin between wholesale and
retail prices at New York has been
running higher for the past few
weeks than at any time in the last
six years, Montgomery pointed out.
While there has been some drop in
retail egg prices since the seasonal
peak month ago, the drop In whole
sale prices has been much greater.
'It is usual for both wholesale
and retail prices to drop sharply at
this season." he said. "but this year
the farmers appear to be getting a
bad break in two directions. The
pride they receive is going down
but with retail prices show
ing much less of drop, consump-
tion of their product is also being

PRODUCE MARKET NOTES

Trade in fresh produce was re
ported slowing down 4 little aftel
the middle of the month because o.
unfavorable weather conditions, an6
because the higher price level which
had been reached for some products
tended to check the demand, accord
ing to the U. S. Bureau of Agricul'
tural Economics.
The increase of about 1900 car
lots of fruits and vegetables the
second week of January was mainly
owing to gains of 1000 cars of po-
tatoes and the heavy output of south
ern vegetables and citrus fruits. APP
pie shipments increased 10 per cent
Onion output gained 200 carloads,
but cabbage movement decreased,
owing to previous rainy weather In
Texas producing sections.
There were considerable gains in
shipments of carlOts, beans, straw
berries, tomatoes, and turnips. and
decreases for sweet potatoes, and
greens. Movement was about steady
in celery, lettuce, spinach and beets.
Total was nearly 5000 carloads more
than for the same week last year.
The general price trend was some
what weak and unsettled. but
changes have been mostly rather
small since the middle of the month.
Potato Market Unsettled
Prices of potatoes were uneven and
the market trend unsettled after
mid-January. There were some re-
coveries in the West and Middle West
where the decline had been most
severe earlier in the month, but
eastern markets were comparatively
steady.
A range Of $2.25 to $275 per 100
pounds covered most jobbing sales
of the round white varieties in the
large markets of the East and Mid
die West. Western Burbanks were
selling up to $3.50. Countrywide
range at carlot shipping points was
So to s250. Chicago market was
holding fairly well its recovery to
a level OF $3.50 for northern round
whites.
Markets were dull in northern
Maine producing sections and tone
rather weak, around $2.10. Western
New York shipping points were COM
steady around $2.20, but
this level is about 10c below that OF
mid-January. Growers were not
selling freely at current price levels
of about $1.15 per bushel in bulk.
Growers in northern Maine were
getting SO to 1926 per barrel in
bulk.
A steady market prevailed for
Maine seed stock. mostly Cobblers
for southern planting, also some |
Spalding Rose and Bliss Triumphs |
for the Gulf Coast region. Prices on
Florida red stock weakened little |
in producing sections and in north
ern markets.
Onion Market Steady
Prices OF yellow onions we're near
Iy unchanged. mostly SOC to 65c per
so pounds in eastern markets and |

onions sold at 40c to 4Sc in produc-
ing sections and 55c to Csc in mid
western markets. Several lots OF
onions in rather poor condition have
been offered recently in the Roehes-
ter district with a depressing effect
upon the local market.
Demand for carrots is rather slow
with only a few sales to the can
ming factories. Prices have remained
steady near $50 per ton in bulk for
topped and unwashed stock. Eastern
carrots are selling in New York at
75c to S5c per bushel. Prices of
California carrots are firm at $3.50
to 1925 per crate.
The general run of eastern sweet
potatoes sell from 75c to slips per
bushel without recent change. Ten

slightly higher in the Middle West.
around $1.40 per bushel. with ex-
tremes of $1.25 to S1.50. Some east
ern stock OF the Jersey type reached
SO in Chicago.
Virginia spinach was about steady
at soc to Csc a bushel in eastern
cities but Texas spinach weakened
a little under heavy supplies. selling
at 75c to soc and at 35c in Texas
producing sections.
Lettuce was up soc in Califarnia
producing sections and price range
was firm in eastern markets at S2.75
to $3.25. Most Florida lettuce sold
from 75c to 81 per hamper or crate.
Cabbage Supply Liberal
Supplies of cabbage continued lib
eral to heavy with rather large ship
ments from Texas and western New
York. The temporary recovery of
prices in Texas was lost after the
middle of the month and producers
were still getting only Sc per tone.
and shippers 35c to 40c per half

age Is scarce in the Middle West and |
most markets there are being sup |
piled with stock from New York and |
Pennsylvania which is selling at soc |
to 75c per so pounds. compared with |
Acc TO 60c in eastern markets.
Apple Prices Unchanged
Greening apples sell at steady
prices in western New York at s1.10
to, s1.15 per bushel. Greening and
Baldwin bring s1.25 to $3.50 in the
large markets. Mcintosh sell at
$3.50 to s1.75. occasionally So or
more. York and Grimes bring s1.25
to $3.50, and Stayman $3.50 to $1.75.
Demand is fairly good, recent ad-
vances in the citrus fruit market
apparently helped the sale of
apples. Holdings in storage are
light and the underlying situation
rather firm.
Southern Strawberries have shown
declining trend this month with in
creasing supplies. Florida berries
are quoted around Sc, pint basis, in
producing sections, and mostly lie
to lac in northern markets.
