Demand And Price Setup
Review Released Bv i

and possible increases in export
demand for some industrial COM
modities, if the war continues the
chances of and considerable de.
cline in the wholesale prices OF
nor-agrlcultural products seem
quite remote. In view of these con-
ditions, it seems safe to say that
with the war continuing there will
be no substantial decline in the
general level of wholesale prices,
and that or the other hand a mod
crate rise is probable. The termina.
ton of active hostilities in Europe
might result in a sufficient liquida-
ton of inventories and stoppage OF
current buying to seriously unset
tie many commodity prices, but
this would depend in large mea-
sure upon the timing and charac-
err of these developments.
Both prices and incomes received
by farmers in June apparently will
be lower than in May. Most of the
weakness in prices is for grains
and truck crops. The composite
index of meat animal prices also
is somewhat lower.
The situation by commodities is
as follows:
Cotton-The spread of the Euro
pean war has eliminated most oil
the mills of Europe as export out
cts for American cotton. The mills
in the German-controlled area plus
Italy consumed about 3 IL million
bales of all cotton in the years i'm
mediately prior to the present war
The price-depressing effects Of
these developments have been
more or less offset by the scarcity
of American cotton in private
hands and other domestic develop
ments. Domestic cotton manufac'
turers' sales continue dull and acti-
witty further declined to a level
in early June about the same as
or somewhat below a year earlier.
Hogs-Slaughter supplies OF hogs
increased seasonally during May,
but some reduction in marketings
is expected during the next 2
months. Hog prices declined stead
lily during May and early June,
losing nearly all of the advance
which occurred in April. The 1910
spring and fall pig crops are ex-
pected to be somewhat smaller
than those of 1889, due chiefly to
the unfavorable ratio of hog prices
to corn prices since last Novem-
Der. .
Poultry and Eggs-Supplies of
chickens and eggs during the last
of this year are expected to. be
smaller than in the corresponding
months of 1889. largely because OF
a smaller hatch this year than
last.
Truck Crops and Potatoes
Truck crop prices declined in re-
cent weeks as marketings increas-
ed seasonally, and the prospect is
for continuing increases in supplies
during the next 2 months. Mar
ketings of potatoes during June
and July probably will be slightly
larger than a year earlier, but the
effects of this may be offset to a
large extent by a higher level OF
consumer purchasing power. 4

Under date of June 18th, t. e
Bureau of Agricultural Economics,
U. S. Department of Agriculture,
in their demand and price situa.
ton issue, gave the following sum-
mary, which I think should be Of
interest to farmers and other bust
ness men. Following the summary
I am also showing in full the situa-
ton as to a few of the commodities
in which residents of this section
of the country are particularly in
terested:
Summary
Industrial conditions affecting
the domestic consumer demand for
farm products are expected to con-
tinue the improvement in evidence
since April, if active warfare in
Europe continues. This should
make the average level of indus.
trial activity in 1910 higher than
in 1889. The early cessation of hos
tilities would necessitate many re-
adjustments on the part of bust
ness which could result in declin-
ing activity. This would not likely
be prolonged or severe, in view OF
increasing defense expenditures.
Consumers income, having declin-
ed much less than industrial pro.
duction since the high point was
reached last December, probably
Will not increase as much as the
indicated rise of industrial activity.
The recent spread of the Euro
pean war may curtail somewhat
further the already greatly dimin-
ished export outlets for United
States farm products, particularly
for cotton. For some commodities,
such as dried fruits, closing of the
Mediterranean and possible tight
ening of the German blockade of
shipping may eventually lead to
improved export demand. Much de-
ponds on military and naval de-
velopments which cannot be fore
seen at this time.
Despite active movements of
prices of some individual commo-
dities accompanying the recent
German invasions, the general le-
vel of wholesale commodity prices
has changed little. Most of the
price declines we're for agricultural
products, wholesale prices of which
declined about 5 per cent from the
first week in May to the beginning
of June. Prices of both wheat and
cotton, which we're affected most,
we're carried to levels generally
not far from Government loan va
lues. Prices of cotton have since
recovered most of the loss exper-
fenced in May. Further panicky
liquidation of the extent and char
acter of that which followed the
German invasion of Belgium / S
most likely. Prices of farm pro-
ducts sold mainly in the domestic
market should be benefited by the
prospective improvement of indus
trial activity and consumers in
come. With industrial activity in
creasing. a large-scale domestic

RALEIGH, July 7-R-A pre-
MUM of approximately Is per cent
can be commanded by North Caro-
lima poultrymen who present clean,
sound, infertile, well-culled eggs on
the market, Ralph B. Kelly, poul-
try and egg marketing specialist
of the state department of agricul-
ture said today.
1T is a well known fact that
many of III farmers and poultry
men r taking a price beating on
the eastern and state markets be-
cause of carelessness in prepare
ton OF eggs offered for sale on the
retail and wholesale markets"
Kelly emphasized.
while it is true that North Caro-
lima imports a tremendous quantity
of poultry and poultry products
from other states, it is equally true
that farmers are no making the
most of their opportunity to sell
their products within the state.
Producers of other sections have
long been aware of the demand for
quality, well-graded and attractive
ly packed eggs and are reaping
substantial benefits. There is no
reason why our farmers whould
not claim their home markets. And
there is ample opportunity for
them to- establish an enviable re-
putation in our-of-state markets"
Kelly said that poultry raisers
and egg marketers, "in order to
compete with producers of adjoin-
ing states,uaemust adopt the follow
ing practices:
l. Remove all cockerels from the
flock Immediately after the hatch
ing season in order to avoid fertile
eggs. Unless this practice is fol-
lowed, eggs are liable to be in
edible within a few days e r
being laid.
2. Use only purebred focks for
commercial egg production, thus
assuring a uniformly quality egg
that will be more resistant to sum-
mer conditions and meet the STAN
dards demanded by the consumers.
8. In feeding focks, farmers
should provide ample grit a n d
oyster shells" which are necessary
to assure a firm egg shell that will
prevent "shrinkage' as well as
breakage in transit.
4. Adopt feeding practices and
follow recommendations of feeding
authorities to assure maximum
quality and production.
In order to command premium
prices even though the eggs may
be high in quality, Kelly empha-
sized that producers should:
l. Leave eggs in open containers,
after they are collected, in order
that they will cool enough for the
animal heat to escape before pack
ing in regular egg cases.
2. Keep eggs in a cool, moist
place until they are ready for mar
ket.
3. Clean all eggs that r dirty.
using a pen-knife, steel wool or
emery cloth tackled over an ordi-
nary shoe-shine brush.
5. Candle to remove eggs con-
tanning blood spots or having weak
shells.
6. Separate large and small eggs,
to provide uniformity in packing.
Extremely large and small eggs
can be utilized best at home).
7. Remember that eggs are
breakable and should therefore be
handled with care, and that care
should be taken in transportation. 4

TODAY'S SPORT
 PARADE
Ny HENRY MeLEMoRE


 (United Press Stan Correspondent) New York, May 2s--tUp)-Tony oalento came to town riding on . pony-of brandy,
 He came in from his Jersey gin mill to post Q $2,500 guarantee that he would show up on tho night of July 2 for his flight of the fools" with Max Baer.
 "This is nuts, just nuts" he said when he handed over the money. Making mo put up good dough to show won't run out on Baer, I can beat both him and that lug of brother of his at tho same time" As If to prove his seorn for Baer, and how lightly he holds him as q fighter, dalento announced that the first phase of his training. which starts today, would consist of noth- ing mora rigorous than supervising the construction of his new saloon, He'll go a few light rounds with some blueprints, hoist q light fixture here, wrestle . few mirrors there, and discuss strategy and tactics with the carpenters,
 My new plaoe'll be a classy joint" Tony explained with a touch of pride. And it's be in my own building. Just bought it, and It's got two stories, Yes sir, it'll have class, Amt nobody going to get in without c coat and q tie on, We're going to have Q grand opening on July l5. Come over and I'll pour you one myself"
 Likes It Tough When Galento settles down to real training, which will probably be two or three days before the fight, he'll work in the combination pool hall and gymnasium he has used for years, To the average man this site would be . trihe on the un- healthy side, what with It's no-way ventilation and sunbeam -proo walls, But to dalento there is something bracing in stale cigar smoke and imprisoned liniment and resin fumes. The few times he ate tempted to get in shape in the cool, sweet air of the mountains resulted In severe setbacks and he dreads the out-of-doors and the birds and bees that go with 1t.
 Galento has recovered a great deal, if not altogether, from the shock of Joe Jacobs death. For a while he grieved 50 acutely that wise men along Caulifiower Alley felt he was finished as a fighter.
 "Ill fight Baer just as I would have if Joe hadn't died" he said Maybe I'll fight a little harder He's gone, but in my head he'll be in my corner, and I'll win for him I don't see how I can lose, do you? Look what that bum Nova did to Baer in their fight. Like to have killed him and would have if the referee hadn't stopped 1t. And look what did to Nova. He was a soft touch for me. I'll make Baer quit He can't atke 1t, and everybody knows 1t. He'll be lucky to go four heats with me-"
 Tony was reminded that with only a few minor changes this was ex- actly what Baer had said about him That he, Tony, was a no-good so-and-so and would get his head knocked of.
 Don't pay no attention to that guy," Tony said. Hes a pop-off guy. Always talking and always bragging."
