vorable.
In general, it seems best to do
some selling in the next month or
two if prices reach the loan value
and storage payment. Weakness in
February-March- often follows Oc-
to~ber-January strength.
OATS AND BARLEY - Prices
probably will. hold their recent
gains. However, competition from
Canadian oats in the east may pre-
vent much additional advance. Re-
ceipts are light but market stocks
of both grains are fairly ample, so
that there is little prospect of a
tight market.
FLAXSEED-Prices probably will
be steady to strong in the near fu-
ture and, later, may rise at least to
the loan value plus the storage pay
ment. Utilization continues at a rela-
lively high rate.
SEEDS-Prices are likely to be
mainly steady to higher during the
winter. Early buying of needed sup
plies appears advisable since total
stocks, especially of grass seeds, are
light compared with demand. Grow
ers appear to have sold their surplus
stocks more rapidly than usual, so
that an unusually high percentage
of supplies is held by dealers. Al
falfa, alsike and 1espedeza are the
more plentiful and lower-priced
legume seeds this year.
DAIRY PRODUCTS-Steady to
slightly lower prices appear prob
able in the next two or three months
because of the increase of 10 to Is
percent in production likely to take
place in this period. Government
buying of butter and cheese con-
tinues and will sustain prices lear
present levels until the new year.
Support after that date may be
anywhere from rs to 80 percent OF
the new and higher parity compared
with the present 80 percent Of the
old parity.
EGGS-Prices probably will con-
tinue to work lower during the next
two or three months. Extent of the
decline will depend partly on the
support level after Jan. 1. Produc-
ton will continue to increase to a
peak in March or April and is likely
to be S to 8 percent larger than last
year. Consumers will use more eggs
as prices decline, but the down trend
will continue until checked either
by private buying for storage OF
government support purchases.
Margins over feed costs in 1856
will be much narrower than in the
past year, but probably will be bet
ter than in most prewar years
Matching early and raising an all
pullet laying flock for next fall vii
help to assure profitable returns lat
in the year.
CHICKENS-Prices probably vii
improve in the next three or fou
months. Marketing of farm chicken
will decline, as usual at that perioo
However, heavy production OF win
ter broilers and large storage stock
probably will prevent as strong
price rise as usual. The ratio be
tween chicken prices and feed cost
probably will improve slightly bu
will be less favorable than the long
term average.

Less Than You Think!

A Western politician has been getting considerable
publicity on his recent statement that: "The public
generally is unaware of the terrific burden that trans
portation costs place on. the prices of commodities.
especially foods"
How much more do the railways get from you as
the result of freight rate increases since before World
War Two? Not as much as you think-in proportion to
present day prices for what you buy or sell!
Since January 1947 the Interstate Commerce Com
mission has authorized railways to put into effect
freight rate increases totaling 81 percent-the only
permanent advances since early 1888. However, because
of specified exceptions, only 46s percent of the total
increase has been applicable TO Great Northern territory.
Appearing below are examples of commodities and
articles bought and sold in Great Northern territory.
Where it is something purchased, the total increases in
transportation costs on it from permanent advances in
rates since 1888 are shown from a common source of
supply to one of the most distant points on the Great
Northern in Montana. Where it is something produced
and shipped, total increases of freight charges are shown
from the most distant point on the railway in Montana
to a market where it usually is sold.
SUIT OF CLOTHES-From fifteen and eight-tsnths
to twenty one and one-tenth cents from Chicago
OVERALLS-From three and thres-fourths to seven
and one-half cents per pair from Chicago"
SHOES-From four and sevsn-tenths to seven cents
per pair from Chicago
FRESH MEAT-Onea and eight-tenths cents per pound
from South ST. Paul.
SUGAR-Onea and ons-haIf cents per 5-pound sack
from San Francisco.
~FLOUR-Sixteen and one-ffth cents per 4S-pound
sack from Minneapolis.
GASOLINE-Slightly less than one and ons-third
cents per gallon from Casper, Wyo.
AUTO TIRES-Forty four and one-half cents per
tire from Akron, Ohio.
~GRAIN-Froms seven and one-third to thirteen and
sight-tenths cents per bushel to Minneapolis
CATTLE-Thirty-fve cents per 100 pounds to South
st. Paul, forty-nine cents to Chicago.
WOOL-Three-fourth of one cent per pound all
rail to Boston.
depending O n weight.
Considering prices paid and received for
those commodities and articles today as COM
pared with 1888, the factor of railway trans
portation costs obviously is substantially less
than "a terrific burden"i
It must be kept in mind that there were no per-
manent increases in rail freight rates from March
1888 through December 1916. Yet, in the past IL
years prices of goods generally have risen 100 per
cent. Railway wages have risen 100 per cent, payroll
taxes 90 per cent and fuel, supplies and materials
costs 100 per cent in that period.
On almost any basis that can be devised,
railway transportation charges today are reIa-
lively q lesser factor in overall production and
