TRADE
WINDS
BY LOU SCHNEIDER

The First National City Bank
of New York confirms the report
that many companies are re-
porting lower profit margins de-
spite larger sales. Its compilation
Of earnings statements of 694
firms shows dollar sales well
around record rates in the third
quarter but net income after
taxes is per cent below the April
May-June quarter and 9 per cent
below the third quarter Of last
year.
Cigarette smoking appears To
have returned to normal" usage.
This years volume is expected to
total 3 per cent above last year.
A similar gain is predicted for
1887. An interesting point is that
80 per cent Of the cigarettes
used are filter type. with their
ties used are filter type with their
nice earnings picture for ciggie
makers. Filters retail at higher
prices. take about 10 per cent
less tobacco and can be made
from more economical grades Of
tobacco. Sum-up: 1856 is a good
year for cigarette manufacturers
and it looks like they are headed
for a happy new year.

.91-Doy Bills
At New High
By the Associated Press

The cost of short-term bor-
rowing by the. Treasury today
hit another new high since the
bank holiday in 1888.
The Treasury said the interest
on its latest issue of 9l-day
Treasury bills. to be dated De-
cember 10. amounts to 3.268 per
cent. This is nearly two-tenths
of a point higher than the rate
on a similar short-term issue
last week. and is more than one
fourth Of / per cent higher than
the Federal Reserve Bank dis
count rate.
The Treasury bills are sold al
a discount and from this is fig-
ured the equivalent rate Of in
terest. A rise in this discount
rate normally is considered a
barometer of inflationary pres
lsures in the economy and an
indication of a further tighten
ing Of the money supply.

Breeding Too Early
Delays Conception

COWS DO NOT settle as well when
bred too soon after freshening. Artifi-
cial breeding associations have found
that for best conception rates it is best
to wait at least two months after calv-
ing before breeding.
A survey made by Cornell Univer-
sity brings out some important facts
on the subject. The study included $50
COWS which had healthy reproductive
history.
Twenty-six COWS were bred within
so days after calving. Only 1913 per
cent settled on first service. The "a
bred so to 60 days after freshening set
tied 66.7 per cent on first service, so
cows bred 60 to 80 days after calving
settled 20 per cent, and those bred
later than 80 days after calving settled
76 per cent on first service.
Those bred the first time within so
days after calving ended up settling an
average of 1908 days after calving.
The COWS bred the first time 81 to so
days following calving conceived an
average of 74.5 days after calving
and those bred 61-9O days settled an
average of 1913 days after freshening.
Therefore, the early breeding actually
delayed actual conception. The facts
brought out in this survey emphasize
the Importance of delaying breeding
even on healthy COWS until at least so
days after calving.

SALES AND SHOWS at the National
Western in Denver, pace-setter of the
livestock breeding industry in the West,
stepped out strong in mid-January.
Hereford bulls averaged $311 higher
than last year, led by THR cato Heir
d 22nd which sold to an Illinois manu-
facturer for $4,000. With $1,000 top,
so Angus bulls averaged nearly $500.
w. J. Harrer, Green Meadow Ranch,
Helena, paid $1,725 for a grandson of
Homeplace Eileenmere 87th, and w.
D. FORMER, Biddle, took a Sunbeam
bred bull at $1,15O.
Down in the yard sale, A. C. Bayers
and son, Byron, selected at private
treaty, Real Silver Domino bred bull
from an Anxiety bred dam at a re-
ported $500.
While Montana spectators and buyers
were very few in comparison to recent
years, a number purchased herd-sire
or replacement animals. Quarter horse
enthusiasts turned out by the thousands
to watch the horse show, and prices
on these animals were exceptionally
high But not all horsemen wanted the
larger animals. Milt Mann, Vaughn,
for example, arrived back in the
Treasure State with a well-bred Shet-
land and couple of likely looking bur-
rows.
The grand champion steer, Here
ford shown by Miss Dorothy Siehl
Grinnell, Ia, weighed in at $50 pounds
and sold for $3.15 a pound. 1t was nota-
bic in watching the judging competition
in this strong steer show (many speeta-
tors claimed it to be stronger by far
than the Chicago show that judges
appeared to be discounting the over
weight, wasty animals, emphasizing
high dressing percentages, trimness
and Smoothness.
Reserve champion honors were won
by an Angus of nearly the same weight,
and next in line stood Shorthorn
which had worked up from the Junior
show ranks in the medium heavyweight
class.
NAMED HOST of the 1856 Hereford
Congress, Tucson, Ariz., will be trying
for "a place in the SUM- for their own

Among subjects which will be discussed
will be the questions: Who makes the
profit on cattle between the open range
and the kitchen range? What about
weight for age? What are we doing to
lick the dwarf problem? What are the
facts on crossbreeding? How to make
money in the cattle business? Accent
of the three-day meeting, to be held
April as, will be on commercial cattle
production.
The first Hereford Congress was or
ganized by the Montana Association and
was held in Great Falls. Since that date
the American Hereford Association has
taken over the program and different
state associations all over the nation
