 Max Reimann, leading commun- iSt of western Germany, pleaded for better relations between the U. s. and Russia. Thus far it was onyl talk. Russia had made no re- sponSe to the challenge of Secre- tary of state Acheson to prove with deeds rather than words that they meant a desire for peace.
 Armistice talks between Israel and Egypt deadlocked over boun- diaries and both sides were under U. N. pressure to make conces- sions. Mediator Ralph Bunche as- serted Egypt and Israel have sign ed a complete and enduring" cease fire agreement, however.

 More emergency funds for the storm-stricken western pla n s states were sought in Congress to- day as airplanes flew over the snow-covered rangelands dropping hay to thousands of starving cattle and sheep.
 The first cash aid for the bliz Zard-swept areas came Monday from President Truman who made available $10O,OO0 for immediate aid for snoWbound Indians and livestock.
 The funds are for relief in the Dakotas, Nebraska, Utah and Ne vada-the areas which have been hit by severe snow storms and cold weather for the last several weeks. About million sheep and tens of thousands of cattle are stranded in the desolate areas of the west ern ranges.

 The Ranking city council strove for separate peace with the com munists today while the beaten Chinese nationalist governme n t moved toward Canton.
 Reports were that if peace talks collapse, both Ranking and Shang- hai will be surrendered without flight to the communists. And if the peace plan fails, Chiang Kali Shek is expected to resume lead ership in the south and keep up the civil war. Both sides have agreed to talk peace on the com mun:sts' terms.
 Acting president Ii Tsung-J was reported to have approved the Nanking councils peace over- lures. Communist patrols already have reached the Yangtze river which flows by Nanking.
 The Nationalist government said all its offices will be closed at Nanking by Feb. 3 and opened in Canton two days later. A defense plan which contemplated keeping the great rice producing section of China out of Red hands was re- ported being drafted.

Markets at a Glance

Demand-Employment may not shrink much
more during spring, but down trend is ex-
pected over next IL months.
CattIe-Medium and lower grades probably
will be steady to higher in April and May.
Hogs-Government support at 80 percent Of
parity will be continued through March, 1850.
Lambs-Prices will round seasonal peak in
next month or six weeks.
Wool-Pressure from new clip probably Will
cause steady to slightly lower market.
Wheat-Large impounding for loans and
purchase contracts may cause temporary
price upturn.
Corn-Increased rate of government buy
ing appears necessary to meet export pro-
gram.
F1axseed--Demand is slow because OF ex-
pectation Of much lower support level for 1919
crop.
~Seeds-Prices for alfalfa and leading grass
seeds are much higher than last year.
Feeds-Profitable feeding ratios Justify 10
eral use of byproduct feeds.
HAy-Milder weather in west and rise Of
grass in south are reducing demand.
Dairy - of POPS percent IN
production by June will cause some price
weakness.
q Eggs-Government buying Of dried esss viii
hold down spring receipts.
PouItry-Heavy broiler and fryer supplies
will continue for next three months.
Potatoes-Large stocks will keep markets
heavily supplied.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-03-15

millers and bakers will tend TO let
their stocks run very low at the end
of the season, if the crop outlook
remains favorable, so that any price
rise over loan value is likely to be
small and short-lived.
FLAxSEED prices will remain at
the support level. Hand-to-mouth
buying prevails in linseed oil be-
cause of the cheapness of competing
oils and the prospect of a much low
er support level after June 80. New
crop flaxseed probably will be avail
able in California by mid-June.
SEED prices at retail are higher
than last year for alfalfa, sweet Glow
er, white clover, timothy, redtop,
bluegrass, orchard grass, smooth
bronze and crested wheat grass. Red,
alsike and ladino clover, lespedeza,
sudan grass, millet and grain seeds
are lower than last year. Changes in
supplies are the main cause Il these
price differences.
DAIRY PRODUCT prices prob
ably will be steady to slightly lower
in the next three months. Milk pro-
duction will increase 20 to Is per-
cent in this period. Butter prices
already are close to the govern
ment support level; hence, they will
not go much lower.
EGG prices probably win remain
near the government support level.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-03-15

Production win round the spring
peak in the next month or six weeks.
Government purchases of dried eggs
will hold down receipts in distribut-
ing markets, even though production
viii be extremely heavy. Movement
into consumption is slightly larger
than last year. Storage demand prob
ably will be rather active because of
the desirability of early spring eggs,
but it is not likely to hold prices
much above the support level.
POTATO prices probably will be
fairly steady during the next month
or two. Markets will be heavily
supplied from the large stocks still
on hand. Active government buying
will continue necessary to hold
prices at the support level. Seed de-
mand will help to maintain prices
during the next few weeks. Weather
has favored the new crop in the
south, but has been unfavorable in
California.
BEAN prices probably win flue-
tuate narrowly nea recent levels.
Although distributors are believed
to have only small stocks, they are
likely to let them run down farther
during the spring months. Consumer
demand usually diminishes when
var weather comes.
Recent markets have been weak,
however, with shippers reducing
prices in an effort to improve sales.
U. S. No. l pintoes are being offered
to the trade at $3.50 per 100-pound

MARCH J. Is4s

DEFLATIONARY TRENDS in
business activity, industrial employ
ment and prices which began a few
months ago probably will continue
for another year or more.
With many prices still at quite in
flated levels and industrial activity
far above the peacetime normal,
there is much room for further
shrinkage. The number of unem-
ployed early in February was 3,221,-
900, the highest since March 1912.
However, nonagricultural employ
