Market Outlook
By GUSLER

tinue to work higher for the next
two or three months. The number
of lambs fattened for the winter
market is expected by the u. S. de-
partment of agriculture to be con-
siderabfy less than last year, espe-
cially in the cornbelt states which
furnish much of the early and mid
winter supply. Lamb feeding on
wheat pastures will be much below
normal. Total lamb feeding prob
ably will be the smallest in over 20
years.
In view of the rather heavy
slaughter thus far in the season, re-
naming supplies of 1913 crop lambs
are light. Receipts probably will de-
cline from recent volume as the sup
ply changes from grass to fed lambs.
Cold weather and the seasonal de-
crease in poultry supplies after the
holidays will tend to increase de-
mand for dressed lamb. Improve
ment in the finish and fleeces of
lambs coming to market also will
contribute to price strength.
WOOL prices probably will remain
near current levels. Foreign markets
have been advancing, with Russia
the leading buyer. They are near
the closing level of last June and,
allowing for the duty, are relatively
hioha, +hap IOnooe4io or.ooc IN
nestle stocks are light. The SUBJ
stantial purchases abroad which
mills will be forced to make be-
cause domestic production is only
about one-third the rate of consump-
ton, will help to sustain prices.
WHEAT prices probably will be
steady to slightly higher during the
next month or two. Increased pri-
mary receipts indicate that the re-
cent advance moderately above the
loan value brought some increases
in selling by producers, but it is still
rather light.
Mill demand has been active and
the government has continued to
buy ever though a strike is ham
pering shipments from eastern
points. Plans to step up shipments
to China are reported. The previ-
ously scheduled shift of a major part
of the export buying from the gov
eminent to private hands on Dec. l
may be cancelled.
Market stocks are decreasing, al
though less rapidly than a few weeks
ago. Remaining supplies in all posi-
tons as of Nov. l are estimated at
902, 000, 900 bushels compared with
811, 000, 1000 bushels a year ago and
an average of 728, 100000 bushels in
1942-46. Crop prospects in Argen-
tina and Australia are less favorable
than a year ago.
RYE prices probably will hold
near recent levels. They are about
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-12-01

high enough to permit bringing in
Canadian rye. Stocks of Canadian
rye appear quite ample. This will
tend to prevent further advance un-
less Canadian prices rise.
FLAXSEED prices probably will
be steady at the support level dur
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-12-01
NOV. n. ls4s

Will CO1ltlIldC lltdI COliSllS
levels. Most observers find no evil
dence that business is on the edge
of a major decline. A few layoffs
are being reported, but gainfully en-
ployed persons probably will con-
tinue near 60, 900, 600, compared with
about 48, 900, 900 in prewar years.
A fourth round of wage increases
is almost certain. Piecemeal setbacks
may occur in some industries, espe-
cially in soft goods where production
has largely caught up with demand,
but they will be largely offset by
continued activity in durable goods
where untitled orders remain large.
While higher taxes and smaller
business profits later on will tend to
curb business expansion, any decline
in business spending for new plants
and improvements in the coming
year probably will be than
eounterbalanced by publicly : fl
nanced construction, especially roads,
schools and hospitals. The govern
ment's social welfare program will
give added buying power to some
low income groups.
Armament expenditure will in
crease moderately. Aid to Europe
and Asia probably will continue on
an enormous scale. Higher wages
not offset by an increase in produc-
tivity will tend to push up prices for
industrial goods and services.
Farm prices may level off on a
moderately lower basis, especially
for livestock and livestock products,
and costs probably will take an in
creasing slice of gross farm income.
CATTLE prices probably will be
steady to lower for the better grades
of slaughter steers and heifers dur
ing the next two months while COWS
and bulls, common and medium
grades of other slaughter classes and
stockers and feeders probably will
hold near recent levels or advance.
The proportion of granted cattle
in the supply has been increasing
and the average finish of the ar
rivals has increased.
Poultry competition has temper
arily cut down demand for beef. A
marked reduction in the supply of
common and medium steers and
heifers has already taken place. The
peak of the autumn movement of
cows is definitely passed. Demand
is quite active for the current sup
ply.
Prices of stockers and feeders de-
elined sharply in late November.
Offerings are past the peak of the
season, but buyers remain %conserva-
tive. Although finishers bought more
actively in the past month, volume
of cattle feeding probably will be
only slightly larger-t than last year.
Prices of feeder cattle are higher
than last year, but the increase is
more than offset by lower feed costs.
Feeding margins probably will be
satisfactory in most cases, although
narrower than the extremely attrac-
tive margins obtained in the past
season.
Heavy fleshy feeders for short
term finishing, low grades to be fin
ished for the late spring market, or
calves for feeding for the late sum-
mer or early fall market in 1949
appear to be most attractive.
HOG prices probably are getting
near the winter bottom, although
the extreme low point may not be

Fish Trap Foruns Is Postponed

Plans for the Chamber of C. mme rec forum to discuss the referendum on fish traps and scheduled for August l2 took a nose dive this week.
 L J. Norman, Chamber presi- dent said that the meeting would be held at a later date and the reason for the postpone ment was due to speakers on both sides of the question being unable to attend the previously scheduled meeting.
 In CT st in the proposed meet ing has created much talking in various quarters and street cor her discussions are heard in many parts of town.
 MT Norman also sad, "that after fishing season ends many of the fishermen who would now be unable to attend will probably turn out for the meeting.''
 The date for the forum will be released later and tickets for the event will then be put on sale

Rod And Gun Club
Elects Officers For
Coming Year

The Dickinson County Rod &
Gun Club met at the court house
here last Friday night to elect
officers for the coming year and
to transact routine business.
John w. Chase was elected
president, Otto Kendrick secre-
tary-treasErer, and Hardaway
Baker, president.
It was agreed to employ Kip
ling Yates, a special game war
den, to help patrol the woods for
one month prior to the opening
of the squirrel season Sept 18th
and to hire other help if needed.
The Club expressed satisfac-
ton that the coal operations on
Lick Fork had arranged to pipe
the refuse from the coal washer
into large settling basin and
that the pollution of Cranes Nest
River has subsidized, for the pres
ent at least.
Otto Kendrick reported that
deer in Cumberland Mountain
are thriving and increasing and
that few extra deer are being
added to his territory from Wise
county.
The sum of $500 was allowed
a forest warden in the Mcclure
section for capturing a man in
the act of dynamiting Lick Creek.
1t was agreed to pay any person
like amount for information
leading to the conviction of any
person for a like offense.

INJURED MINERS
TO RECEIVE
TREATMENT

Along with thirteen other par
alyzed miners, Frank Elmer Per-
ry of Norland left Norton Mon
day on the way to the Permante
Hospital, Vallejo, Calf, where
they will receive physical and vo
cational rehabilitation. Treat
ment will be carried on under

and one child. He sustained a
broken back in accident in the
mine at Home Creek in Buchan-

Although he has been paraly-
zed from the pelvis down, this
young man appears to be in good
physical condition otherwise. E..

son to Norton, states that all the
men appeared to be in a happy
frame of mind as they left on
the 5000 mile journey, expecting

E. C.. SMITH RESIGNS AS
COUNTY AGENT TO GO BACK
TO TEACHING

Elmer c. Smith, who has been
county farm agent for the last
three years, has resigned that
position and will teach vocation
al agriculture in Dickinson Me-
mortal High during the coming
session. That announcement was
made Monday. II. S. Harley, who
has taught agriculture in the To-
cal high school, has been on the
active reserve and will return to
the Army. Mr.. Smith came to
Dickinson County in 1929 and
taught sixteen years before he
became county agent.
1t is understood that a county
agent is selected by the board Of
supervisors. There is little specu-
lation as to whom the board may
elect, but the names of Fred F.
Fletcher, former agent, and
Charles Baker, VPI graduate,
have been mentioned as possible
successors.

SMALL MOONSHINE OUTFIT
DESTROYED BY OFFICERS

Deputies Ross Phillips and Err

gallon still and about three GAL
Ions of moonshine on Alleys
Creek Tuesday afternoon. The
operators had apparently finish

officers reached the place, for
the slop was still steaming and
the furnace warm.
There were only three tubs in
the outfit, signifying, according
to experts, a small operation.

King Coal Reported Sick

Too much dirt in coal, n t
enough railroad cars, or not en-
ough orders?
Whatever it is, the coal busl-
ness is very much off in Dickens
son County just now. And when
that happens, the whole county
feels the pinch. Merchants say
their business has slowed to a
mere trickle, and there are more
idle men under the shade than
since 1910.
Lick Fork is running steadily,
and Clinchco has worked every
day this week but was idle two
days last week. The Jenkins
mines have been going regularly
but were idle Wednesday. With
the truck mines, the situation is

different. Big and little, they are
down this week, in Dickinson
County and in the Kentucky field.
That has set people to wonder
ing and has put brake on the
dream of flush times that would
last forever.
Reports were first to the eff
feet that coal from many smaller
mines was being refused at the
docks because of dirt. When the
bigger truck mines went slack
this week the story changed to
shortage of cooal cars. There is
rumor that the Clinchfield Coal
corporation has lost one of its
best orders. Anyway, the people
are trying to figure out the trou

Democratic State
Primary Aug. 3rd

A Democratic primary will be
held August 3rd to name a cam
didate for United States Senate
from Virginia. Candidates are A.
Willis Robertson, who now holds
the seat, and Jonn M. Hart, a
former army officer.
Little, if any interest is being
shown in the primary by Dicken-
son County voters. Mr.. Hart
came through the county some
time ago, but excited scarcely a
ripple of interest. He seems to
be running pretty much on his
own and is free with criticism of
Senator Robertson. However, the
bleeding hearts, all the way from
Wallace's Communists to Martin
Hutchinson are holding aloof
from his campaign.
Senator Robertson announced
last week that he would support
the Democratic nominees, Tru-
man and Barley.

JOHNNIE MULLINS CHARGED
WITH ATTACK ON EIGHT
YEAR-OLD CHILD

Johnnie Mullins, charged with
the attempted rape of an eight
year-old child, was held without
bail for grand jury action in trial
justice court here last Friday.
The crime is alleged to have oc-
Cured in vacant lot near the
local hospital. The man was TAX
en- to Wise Jail for safe keeping.
The hearing was held behind
closed doors, and there were no
spectators. Mullins did not take
the stand, but DR.. r. L. Phipps
was introduced to testify that
the child had not been physical
ly violated. 1t is said that there
were no eyewitnesses.
Mullins, a 46-year-old carpen-
ter, is native of Pike County,
KY, but has resided in Clintwood
for several years. He has been
convicted of sexual perversions
and was once committed to a
mental hospital for observation
after such conviction.
