,england's ,supply ,sources4 ,a demand for ,american butter by ,english buyers had a materially strengthening effect on the early summer market in the ,united ,states4 ,this generally unexpected export demand has called forth various explanations in the attempt to determine the probability of continued demand from that source4 ,an analysis of the international butter trade of the past #aj years indicates that a change not yet generally realized has taken place in the seasonal trend of imports of butter into the ,united ,kingdom1 which largely accounts for this demand in anticipation of an autumn shortage4 ,this change is due to the shift that took place during the war in the sources of supply of that greatest of all butter-importing countries4 ,,supply ,,was ,,uniform4 ,prior to the war the ,united ,kingdom obtained its butter supply from such widely scattered sources in both the ,northern and the ,southern ,hemispheres that the supply was remarkably uniform from month to month throughout the year4 ,during the war1 when supplies available from continental ,europe and ,russia were reduced1 ,australia1 ,new ,zealand1 and ,argentina were encouraged to expand their dairy industry1 and have together since that time continued as the most important sources of supply of butter on the ,british markets4 ,as the flush of production in ,australia1 ,new ,zealand1 and ,argentina occurs during the fall and winter months when production is lightest in ,north ,america and ,europe1 ,england now receives an average of two-thirds of the total supply of foreign butter during the winter and spring1 whereas formerly but one-half was received during this period4 ,although consumption does not necessarily follow the same seasonal trend as the imports1 it is a fact1 according to reports of ,london dealers1 that butter stocks are now lower than at the same time last year1 when at least #ej1jjj1jjj lbs4 of ,government stocks still remained unsold in ,england4 ,with comparatively light stocks and the certainty that imports into ,england after ,july can not be as heavy as during the first six months1 a speculative demand has been stimulated in that country in anticipation of an expected autumn shortage4 ,although butter production since the war has recovered rapidly in practically all of the important dairy countries1 ,russia is still out of the world's market4 ,the cutting off of the ,russian exports to ,england1 which amounted to #aej1jjj1jjj lbs4 annually from #aiji to #aiac1 was the greatest single factor in bringing about1 this change in the seasonal supply of the latter country4 ,the present statistical position of the ,united ,states is1 therefore1 somewhat misleading1 unless due consideration is given to 7,concluded on page #aaa1

acres4 ,the department's estimate of cotton acreage in cultivation on ,june #be1 which was made public on ,july #c1 remains unchanged at #cd1heb1jjj acres because the acreage abandoned before that date was excluded4 ,a great decrease in cotton acreage followed the high acreage of #aibj1 which was #cg1jdc1jjj acres1 because of the disastrous break in prices to growers in that year4 ,the accompanying table gives detailed information on the condition of the cotton crop on ,july #be1 by ,states1 together with comparisons4 ,paradox in ,forecast ,yield of ,crop per ,acre as ,indicated by ,condition4 ,a crop may deteriorate in condition during a growing month and yet its yield per acre as forecast by a computation based on the lowered condition may increase4 ,in the average of crop experiences during the growing period a certain crop declines in condition during a certain month by a certain percentage of a normal condition4 ,for instance1 the cotton crop has a record of a deterioration of #c4i of a normal condition from ,june #be to ,july #be in the average of the last #aj years4 ,as a matter of fact1 however1 during this period in #aibb the deterioration in the condition of the cotton crop was only #j4d4 ,this is clearly a relative improvement because it is less than the usual deterioration of #c4i4 ,hence the yield per acre in the forecast for ,july #be must be greater than in the forecast made a month earlier1 notwithstanding the absolute decline in condition4 99 99 99 99 99 ,apple-tree tent caterpillars are very numerous in ,new ,england and ,new

,practically all classes of live stock sold lower during the week ending ,july #bi4 ,in beef steer trade the general decline was assisted materially by the heaviest run of native1 western1 and ,canadian grassers of the season4 ,downturns of mostly #be at ,chicago and of #ej-l at some ,missouri ,river markets were apparent on the more common descriptions4 ,as supplies of western grassers increased1 the supply of long-fed bullocks decreased and as the latter were sought by all interests1 the widest price range of the season on beef steers was created at all markets4 ,hog prices fluctuated sharply1 closing ,chicago values being #beej lower on mixed grades and heavy packers1 and #djee on good butcher hogs compared with the close of the previous week4 ,much of the supply at ,omaha and a good percentage of the run at ,chicago and some other markets consisted of heavy sows and mixed packing grades1 and these pulled the general average down to the lowest levels since early in ,february4 ,,sheep ,,trade ,,erratic4 ,trade in fat sheep and feeding lambs was erratic1 with closing prices highest of the week but showing an irregular basis compared with the previous week's

early in the season1 the ,july supply at the former market up to ,july #bg standing at #e1hjj as compared with #ihh for the corresponding period a year ago4 ,the collapse of cattle values in ,canadian provinces was an incentive for shipping across the border4 ,canadians and ,dakotas were generally in poor flesh and turned at #d4gef4ej1 killers taking a few at the latter price4 ,oklahoma and ,texas

at ,omaha4 ,bulk of grass steers sold there at #fg4be1 a large proportion of the far western steers being in feeder flesh4 ,one lot of ,montana steers showing breeding quality and good killing flesh brought #h4ge at that market from a producer4 ,this lot met good packer competition1 and the relatively high sale price indicated the plainness of the early run of grassers in general4 ,long-fed matured bullocks1 averaging #a1ddc lbs4 reached #aj4hj at ,chicago and best long yearlings topped at #aj4ej1 the premium of heavy steers over yearlings continuing in evidence4 ,sales above #aj4be were comparatively scarce1 bulk of beef steers at ,chicago being of quality and flesh to sell at #h4ejaj4 ,at that point few bullocks that had received even a sparse corn ration on grass sold under #h1 but common native and western grassers cashed well below that figure4 ,,producers ,,in ,,market4 ,the influx of westerns augmented the stocker and feeder supply and producers took more notice of their pasture and feed lot needs than recently1 insisting1 however1 on lower prices except on kinds of high quality4 ,a spread of #e4ejf4ej absorbed the majority of stockers and light feeders at ,chicago1 a few heavy feeders reaching #g4ej1 while good feeders commanded #g4beg4ge at ,kansas ,city1 most of the desirable stockers bringing #f4ejg at that market4 ,common light stock steers descended to #d4ej and lower in instances there and at ,st4 ,louis4 ,she stock offerings were comparatively scarce1 and flesh condition for the most part was plain to medium4 ,highly finished kosher cows maintained #hh4ej levels and above at ,chicago1 corn-fed yearling heifers selling in line with steers of a similar finish4 ,in-between grades of beef cows and heifers lacked dependable outlet1 generous runs of low grade grass steers at river markets being a weakening influence4 ,bulk of fat cows and heifers at ,chicago brought #eg4be4 ,canners displayed strength1 few healthy descriptions selling there below #c4 ,bulls closed largely #be lower2 desirable heavy bolognas cashed upward to #d4ged4he early at ,chicago1 but descended to around #d4ej1 heavy beef bulls sharing the decline4 ,reduced arrivals of veal calves at ,chicago somewhat counteracted the effect of slump conditions in the dressed market and values advanced #beej1 packers taking desirable vealers at the close at ,chicago at #i4ejaj1

,,butter ,,markets ,,drop ,,under ,,accumulations ,,of ,,receipts ,prices ,fluctuate ,during ,week--,large ,increase in ,consumption ,over #aiba ,so ,far ,this ,year4 ,increasing accumulations of butter and lack of confidence among members of the trade were the principal factors in bringing about extremely weak conditions and radical declines in all markets during the early part of the week ending ,july #bi4 ,the resulting lower prices attracted a speculative demand which was largely instrumental in causing equally radical advances during the latter part of the week4 ,the prices at the close of the week1 however1 hovered near the same levels as at the opening1 and conditions1 although not so extremely weak because of lighter stocks1 were equally unsettled4 ,since early in ,july receivers have been burdened with heavy accumulations of receipts because of the curtailed storing demand1 and the strength of the market has been maintained by the hope that consuming outlets would become larger1 that receipts would decrease more rapidly1 or that exporters would take considerable quantities4 ,when there appeared to be no immediate outlet for the accumulating stocks1 dealers slashed prices and cleared away a large part of the accumulations4 ,,speculative ,,interest ,,develops4 ,the lower prices1 however1 brought forth a speculative interest which was so keen that prices reacted practically to the level on ,monday4 ,but with the higher prices buyers again disappeared1 the market became very unsettled1 and some price reductions ensued4 ,the strengthening factors are an excellent consumptive demand1 possibilities of export and the improbability of any considerable imports4 ,a shortage in stocks of butter in foreign markets makes it probable that considerable butter will be exported and improbable that the imports will be large4 ,aside from the possibility of exports and imports1 the enormous quantity of butter going into consumption is a major factor in the possible trend of the markets4 ,receipts at the four markets since ,jan4 #a show a surplus of some #eh1jjj1jjj lbs4 over the same period a year ago4 ,of these receipts1 nearly #aa1jjj1jjj lbs4 in excess of last year was stored4 ,import and export figures for the first six months of the year show an excess of exports over imports of #b1cfe1jjj lbs4 ,during the corresponding period in #aiba there was an excess of imports amounting to #f1aci1jjj lbs4 ,deducting the #aa1jjj1jjj lbs4 which was stored in excess of last year and the decrease of #h1jjj1jjj lbs4 due to foreign trade1 the apparent increase in consumption since ,jan4 #a1 #aibb1 amounts to some #ci1jjj1jjj lbs4 ,on the other hand1 while larger quantities have gone into consumption there are some operators who are bearish and claim that prices will have to rule higher next winter than last winter in order to allow a fair profit on present storage stocks1 and that this condition naturally would reduce consumption4 ,it

,speculative ,demand ,also ,lacking--,prices ,down a ,full ,cent at ,wisconsin ,primary ,markets4 ,the light summer consumptive demand without the support of speculative storage activity has been insufficient to clear the current make of cheese during the past few weeks1 and as a consequence a weaker feeling developed4 ,during the week ending ,july #bi this weakness became more pronounced1 and prices at the ,wisconsin primary markets were lowered as much as a full cent in an effort to stimulate trading4 ,buyers1 however1 were not eager to take on any more goods than could be readily used to meet daily requirements4 ,although a few cars of fine cheese were purchased early in the week for storage1 the majority of buyers felt that the market was on too high a plane for speculation4 ,,speculative ,,demand ,,absent4 ,the absence of speculative support has probably been the largest factor in the weaker country markets1 and the reflection of this weakness in the distributing markets4 ,moreover1 movement into consumptive channels has not been active for some time4 ,as storage demand has been lacking and the primary markets have been showing signs of weakening1 most buyers at distributing points adopted the policy of hand-to-mouth buying in anticipation of lower prices4 ,advices at the end of the week indicated that some dealers do not look for a revival of trade until prices at country points reach #af1 about #b below present prices4 ,however1 this sentiment is not universal1 and many dealers think that present prices may not be far from bottom4 ,embargoes on railroad shipments of perishable foodstuffs in the southern and southwestern sections of the country have reduced shipments below normal requirements1 and until the rail strike is ended but little support is expected from those sections4 ,in fact1 many in the trade believe that while the strike may cause higher prices in certain consuming centers where supplies are exhausted1 embargoes on shipments will tend to weaken the primary markets because of curtailed outlets4 ,at the close of the week the tone of the market was barely steady4 ,holders were free sellers1 and in many instances were inclined to make concessions in order to keep stocks as low as possible4 ,little export or import business was reported1 although small shipments of ,split ,twins were imported from ,canada4 ,however1 both the export and import business was of small consequence and did not affect the market4 ,with production in excess of consumption and speculators off the market1 many in the trade expect

,,still ,,slow ,domestic ,products ,meeting ,with ,more ,competition ,from ,european ,goods--,exports ,decrease4 ,the same relative inactivity which has featured condensed and evaporated milk markets for several months continued during ,july1 and prospects for any materially improved demand are so slight that many of the trade who have held a more or less confident attitude are beginning to lose some of their optimism4 ,export demand1 upon which canned milk manufacturers have come to depend to a large extent as an outlet for surplus domestic production1 has become less of a factor each month4 ,buying for relief purposes1 which constituted such a support to the evaporated milk market especially1 has practically ceased1 and no additional orders seem to be in sight4 ,,little ,,foreign ,,demand ,,expected4 ,domestic demand in ,england is reported as somewhat heavier1 but ,american manufacturers have as competitors an increasing number of ,european factories which are able to lay down the goods at a lower cost4 ,in fact1 foreign demand is not expected to absorb very large quantities of ,american-made goods in the very near future4 ,latest export figures are for the month of ,june and indicate a slight decrease under ,may and a very large decrease under ,june1 #aiba4 ,condenseries1 however1 have had at least one favorable condition during the past few months which has helped considerably to offset the dull demand for canned milk4 ,prices of both butter and cheese have been at levels that made it possible to divert surplus milk into one or the other of these products1 and as a result the production of condensed and evaporated goods has been held as low as was consistent with good business practice4 ,these outlets have been fortunate not only because of the lighter demand which has featured both condensed and evaporated milk markets1 but because of the upward tendency of costs of manufacturing as well4 ,seasonal advances in prices of raw milk are almost at hand1 and in the case of condensed milk1 sugar is over one-third higher in cost than it was in the spring4 ,the latter has been of considerable influence in diverting trade demand to evaporated milk on account of the lower prices at which this class of goods could be sold4 ,the summer demand from the domestic trade for condensed and evaporated milk has not been up to expectations4 ,the icecream trade especially has taken much smaller quantities of goods than condensing firms had anticipated4 ,this is explained partly by the fact that powdered milk is being more widely used in the manufacture of ice cream1 and partly by the relatively cool weather in various consuming sections of the country4 ,summarized figures from manufacturers indicate that condensing operations have been carried on conservatively and that due consideration has been given to the anticipated and actual dull summer demand from all classes of trade4 ,although total stocks on ,july #a1 as indicated in the accompanying tables1 reveal a moderately heavy increase over ,june #a1 it must be borne in mind that the heavy producing season has just passed4 ,it is to be noted also that while total stocks on ,july #a were heavier than on the first of the previous month unsold stocks were lighter4 ,furthermore1 a comparison of total stocks on ,july #a this year and last shows a decrease of approximately

daily in ,chicago from the ,white ,salmon1 ,yakima1 ,puyallup1 and ,walla ,walla valleys1 from ,vashon ,island1 ,puget ,sound1 and from ,lewiston1 ,idaho4 ,in the production centers the berries are rushed by motor truck and interurban car to the refrigerator cars on the railroad sidings every afternoon4 ,the cars are loaded1 iced1 and hurried on passenger schedule to ,spokane where they are united into a special fruit train4 ,early in the morning the train pulls out from ,spokane for the ,east4 ,these trains are iced five times between the ,pacific coast and ,chicago and make no other stops4 ,recently train loads of red raspberries have been arriving in ,chicago every day4 ,loganberries also have been abundant1 but the larger part of the supply has been raspberries4 ,arrivals were at the rate of two cars per day during the latter part of ,july4 ,most shipments have carried through in fine condition1 with only a few packages showing decay or mold4 ,the berries are all packed in #bdpt4 crates which are only a single layer deep1 instead of three layers deep as are the ,michigan red raspberries4 ,the quality of the raspberries has been fine1 the berries being large and of a desirable red color4 ,a few black raspberries1 blackberries1 and red currants have also come from the ,northwest1 but only as parts of cars4 ,these have likewise been attractively packed and were of

the ,pacific ,northwest4 ,special train service has been provided by one of the leading railroads1 so that these highly perishable fruits come through in record time and in good condition4 ,according to reports of a ,chicago representative of the ,u4 ,s4 ,department of ,agriculture1 prices of ,northwestern red raspberries have ranged from #c per #bdpt4 crate to as high as #d4ej per crate for the best stock at the beginning of the season4 ,the average price has been around #c4ejd for good stock1 with a fairly steady market4 ,at this season of the year in ,chicago most of the small fruit competition is from ,michigan4 ,heavy supplies of ,michigan blackberries1 red raspberries1 black raspberries1 and blueberries have been coming in during ,july4 ,there has also been a liberal supply of

few ,english ,morello4 ,wisconsin also ships a few cars of ,montmorency in the same package4 ,odd lots of sweet cherries in #afqt4 boxes come from ,michigan4 ,these for the most part vary widely in quality and condition and are not graded well enough or handled carefully enough to compete with the well-packed sweet cherries1 principally ,royal ,annes and ,bings1 from ,washington1 ,oregon1 ,idaho1 and ,utah4 ,most of them are ,black ,tartarians1 ,windsors1 ,bings1 and ,napoleons 7same cherry as the western ,royal ,anne74 ,the price has had the exceedingly wide range of #ac4ej per #afqt4 crate4 ,report on ,cabbage and ,onions in ,new ,york4 ,reports from the field service of the ,u4 ,s4 ,department of ,agriculture for the date of ,july #be contain the following information concerning commercial cabbage and onions in ,new ,york3 ,cabbage4--,the acreage planted to cabbage in the eastern portion of the cabbage belt in ,cortland1 ,chenango1 ,madison1 and eastern ,onondaga ,counties and in some sections of the western counties has increased greatly over #aiba1 but for the ,state as a whole the acreage is probably not far from average4 ,the percentage of the acreage in late cabbage is larger than usual4 ,rain has delayed planting and damaged cabbage on low ground but has prevented aphis damage1 so that the average condition of the crop is good throughout the ,state4 ,new ,york ranks first among the ,states in production of commercial cabbage and ,ontario ,county first among the counties of the ,state4 ,this county will begin to ship cabbage by ,aug4 #ae1 but most of the crop is late4 ,onions4--,harvesting of early onions in ,orange ,county began ,july #ae1 but the main crop will move between ,aug4 #aj and ,sept4 #a4 ,best yields may reach #djj to #ejj bus4 per acre but rains have reduced the probable average for the county to #bge bus4 and perhaps to #bej bus4 ,growers and ,dealers ,expect ,good ,potato ,crop in ,new ,jersey4 ,growers and dealers in the northern and southern potato sections of ,new ,jersey are optimistic over the prospects of this season's potato crop1 according to a report from the ,philadelphia representative of the market news service conducted by the ,u4 ,s4 ,department of ,agriculture4 ,the weather has been almost ideal from the growing standpoint and prospects are for the best crop in respect to both quality and quantity that ,new ,jersey has had in several years4 ,this is true of all varieties1 but especially of the ,irish ,cobblers and the ,giants4 ,thus far the crop has been yielding #fjhj bbls4 per acre1 mostly around #gj bbls41 which is a good yield for so early in the season4 ,although some fields1 especially in north ,jersey 7,burlington1 ,mercer1 and ,monmouth ,counties71 show signs of late blight1 this disease does not appear nearly so prevalent as during the past few years4 ,in south ,jersey 7,salem and ,cumberland ,counties7 very little of this disease has appeared4 ,the potato deal in all sections of the ,state opened generally about ,july #ag4 ,contrary to custom1 it looked as if the northern district would ship early potatoes more freely than the southern section4 ,very little of the stock seems to have been contracted4 ,there probably will be keen competition this season1 especially in north ,jersey1 because three or four growers' exchanges besides several large individual dealers are interested in the deal4 ,in the southern district there is only the one exchange1 but there are several large shippers4 ,increasing quantities of potatoes are moving by truck from producing sections to ,new ,york ,city1 ,jersey ,city1 ,newark1 and especially to the seashore cities4 ,many trucks are also being used for shipping to ,pennsylvania cities1 and the total truck movement probably will affect the season's carlot shipments by several hundred cars4 ,to ,july #bi about #b1jfj cars of potatoes had been reported shipped from ,new ,jersey1 compared with #a1hej cars to the same date last year4 ,total shipments last season were almost #aj1ejj cars4 99 99 99 99 99 ,the close-of-the-season movement of ,maine potatoes was twice as heavy as in ,june1 #aiba4 ,total

,,downward ,,trend2 ,,corn ,,fairly ,,steady ,receipts of ,wheat ,increased--,heavy ,export ,sales ,continued--,oats ,prices ,dropped ,off4 ,the steady decline which has prevailed in the wheat market for some time continued during the week ending ,july #bi when ,september wheat at ,chicago closed at #a4jh1 #a lower than at the close of the previous week4 ,the heaviest decline occurred on ,monday1 when ,september wheat closed at #a4jg4 ,the market rallied somewhat toward the close of the week but did not regain the loss sustained during the early part of the week4 ,the principal bearish factors were the heavy primary receipts1 estimated at #ae1ijb1jjj bus41 which caused large hedging sales2 lower foreign markets2 and the weakness in foreign exchange4 ,opposed to these influences were the bullish reports of heavy export sales and the reports that more wheat would be needed by foreign buyers than had been generally anticipated4 ,,strike ,,settlement ,a ,,factor4 ,the possibility of an early settlement of the railroad and coal strikes and a freer movement of grain were also considered by the trade as factors that would tend to lower wheat prices4 ,although corn and oats prices held fairly firm1 the tone of the market for these two grains appeared weaker as favorable weather improved the crop prospects4 ,the ,september corn future at ,chicago closed at #fb on ,july #bi1 compared with #fc on ,july #bb4 ,receipts of wheat at ,chicago were more than #a1jjj cars larger than the previous week1 totaling #c1agg cars1 of which #b1ehc were winter wheat4 ,the movement appears to be about normal1 however1 as #c1igc cars were received during the corresponding week last year4 ,the quality of the wheat received was good1 about #ga grading ,nos4 #a and #b1 and #ba grading ,no4 #c1 leaving only about #h grading below ,no4 #c4 ,milling demand was slow during the first part of the week but improved later4 ,export demand was active and sales totaling #b1fjj1jjj bus4 were reported made from ,chicago to exporters during the week4 ,premiums of from #bd to #dg over the ,september future prices were still being paid for cash wheat at ,minneapolis4 ,this is a reduction1 however1 of #a from the top and #c from the bottom of the range quoted at the close of the previous week4 ,receipts1 especially of good quality1 continued light4 ,the danger of rust damage had about passed in the spring wheat territory as harvesting was well under way4 ,the first car of new spring wheat arrived during the week4 ,local mills and buyers were not inclined to put out bids for wheat to arrive4 ,straight-to-arrive bids for #bj;day delivery were being made at the close of the week at #ae over the ,september price1 and for #aj;day delivery at #be over the ,september4 ,northwestern mills are reported to be operating at about #fj of their capacity4 ,in the ,soft ,winter wheat section the embargoes placed by the railroads against shipments to the ,south and ,southeast restricted shipments to mills in that territory4 ,this caused a lighter milling demand at ,st4 ,louis and ,cincinnati4 ,at the former market1 however1 good buying by elevator interests to cover sales for ,july and ,august shipments1 and by exporters for direct shipment to the ,gulf1 kept the market firm4 ,receipts were #a1afa cars1 most of which were ,soft ,winter4 ,about #hb of the #agg cars of ,soft ,winter wheat received at ,cincinnati graded ,no4 #c or better1 principally because of test weight1 and was of good milling quality4 ,prices were firm notwithstanding the curtailment of outbound shipments4 ,,exporters ,,active ,,at ,,kansas ,,city4 ,receipts at ,kansas ,city totaled #c1ddc cars4 ,the movement from the country was large and is expected to continue in good volume for some time4 ,milling demand was only fair4 ,eastern mills took only small lots and ,northwestern mills also bought on a small scale because of the promising outlook for ,spring wheat4 ,there was an excellent export demand1 however1 and very active bidding was indulged in by exporters to the ,gulf who were eager to obtain wheat to fill sales for shipment4 ,bids for wheat for ,august delivery were made as high as #ag per bu4 over the ,chicago ,september future price but later were reduced to #ae premium4 ,bids for ,september loading at the ,gulf were made at #ac over the ,chicago ,september price4 ,the activity in the export market was especially noticeable at the ,atlantic seaboard markets1 as the failure of shippers to make delivery on ,july contracts compelled many exporters to buy in the open market to fill the ocean tonnage already engaged4 ,a number of boats were loaded at two or more ports in order to get sufficient wheat for the cargoes4 ,there was a good demand for ,hard ,winter for various continental markets1 for ,red ,winter for ,france1 and for ,hard ,winter and ,durum wheat for ,italy4 ,,corn ,,prices ,,fairly ,,steady4 ,although future prices were slightly lower and crop prospects were good1 cash corn prices held fairly steady to firm4 ,receipts were about normal4 ,shipping orders and export sales absorbed the offerings readily at the principal markets4 ,primary receipts were estimated at #e1dgd1jjj bus4 compared with #d1dfd1jjj bus4 last year4 ,primary shipments were #h1eaj1jjj bus4 compared with #e1bea1jjj bus4 a year ago1 thus indicating a relatively better demand at present than at the corresponding time last year4 ,lake shipments to ,american ports from ,chicago during the week were #b1jgb1jjj bus4 7,concluded on page #aaf1 column #c47 ,,grain

having some difficulty in disposing of the increasing receipts of new hay1 much of which was not of desirable quality for shipment4 ,the railroad strike was reported as curtailing shipments in some sections1 but generally the effects of the strike were not noticeable in the markets4 ,the average price of hay was lowered slightly during the week1 but the larger declines were in the eastern markets1 where prices were being worked to a new hay basis4 ,receipts were lighter in the ,east but heavier in the ,west1 as is shown in the following table1 which gives receipts in carloads at

easier tone at both ,cincinnati and ,st4 ,louis4 ,the local demand was limited and prices were said to be too high to stimulate a shipping demand to the ,south and ,southeast4 ,there was1 however1 very little inquiry from the southern markets1 as ,johnson grass and other local hays were on the market in good supply4 ,,alfalfa ,,movement ,,light4 ,alfalfa4--,the movement of alfalfa from ,kansas and other ,southwestern ,states was comparatively light1 as the second crop of alfalfa was much smaller than the first because of the hot1 dry weather which recently prevailed in that territory4 ,the shortage of water in some sections will also probably cause a lighter yield of the third crop so that producers are not inclined to sell their stocks at prices unsatisfactory to them4 ,kansas ,city reported a more active demand from the cotton belt as well as from the local dairy trade4 ,advances in prices for all grades were reported from ,los ,angeles where receipts were light4 ,choice rabbit hay sold as high as #be per ton4 ,receipts at ,san ,francisco were heavier and prices were much lower than at the southern market4 ,prairie4--,prairie hay constituted the bulk of the receipts at ,minneapolis and ,kansas ,city4 ,dealers and consumers who had accumulated large stocks of hay in expectation of a curtailed supply because of the rail strike were not interested and the market ruled

,year ,better than ,last ,the movement of orchard grass seed is even more belated than last year despite the fact that it was harvested earlier4 ,in some sections but little seed had been thrashed up to ,july #be and in other sections thrashing operations were in full swing or nearly completed4 ,as was pointed out in the ,june #bd issue of ,,weather1 ,,crops1 ,,and ,,markets1 the #aibb crop is much larger than that of last year and sales were somewhat disappointing this spring4 ,these factors along with others have tended to cause dealers to take a passive interest in the crop and refrain from making any but nominal bids for seed held by growers4 ,,market ,,not ,,yet ,,made4 ,the market had not become established by ,july #be1 although prices for country-run seed ranging from #ge to #a4be per #ajj lbs4 were being offered occasionally to growers in the ,kentucky1 ,ohio1 and ,missouri districts4 ,thrashing had not progressed sufficiently in ,virginia for buyers to become interested in the seed that was harvested in that ,state4 ,the quality of the #aibb crop in practically all districts is considered to be better than last year4 ,the carryover of old seed by growers1 particularly in the ,ohio and ,virginia districts1 seems to be somewhat larger than usual4 ,no orchard grass seed was permitted entry under the seed importation act during ,june and ,july4 99 99 99 99 99 ,meadow ,fescue ,seed ,prices ,decline ,during ,past ,two ,weeks4 ,a normal movement of the #aibb crop of meadow fescue seed has occurred since thrashing began about ,june #cj1 and it is estimated that approximately #ee of the crop has already been sold by growers4 ,in the opinion of country buyers and others this year's crop of recleaned seed will be about twice as large as that of last year4 ,the quality is considered to be much better not only because of favorable weather during the growing season and at harvest time but also because growers exercised more care in the selection of their seed for sowing4 ,during recent years the shrinkage in recleaning the crop has been unusually heavy1 resulting in considerable loss to the growers4 ,prices to growers declined #b or #c during the two weeks prior to ,july #be4 ,only about #d per lb4 for recleaned seed was being paid on that date1 and there were not many buyers even at that price4 99 99 99 99 99 ,a new variety of the ,rose potato1 called the ,early ,norther ,rose1 was planted in the ,charleston section of ,south ,carolina this spring4 ,it resembles the ,spaulding ,rose1 but is a little longer and thicker than that variety4 ,the

the crop is large1 less than #e had moved from growers' hands by ,july #be4 ,in other sections of ,kentucky approximately #be had been sold but the bulk of the crop has been pooled in the expectancy of higher prices later4 ,although in the vicinity of one or two important shipping points in ,missouri #fj or more of the crop is reported to have been sold by growers1 in most of the other sections only #ajae has been sold4 ,prices prevailing about ,july #be were much lower than last year1 being mostly #a4bea4ej per bu4 for rough1 cured seed compared with #bb4ej last year4 ,little or no change occurred in prices offered to growers during the last two weeks of ,july4 ,the quality of the seed in ,kentucky and ,missouri is much better than it was last year and undoubtedly will shrink less in

from ,pacific coast markets4 ,large stocks of wheat feeds1 mostly bought at higher levels1 are being carried at western lake ports1 and railroads are not accepting any more shipments to be held at lake ports1 claiming that all available space is occupied4 ,cottonseed meal and cake4--,increased offerings of new crop cottonseed cake and meal gave the market an unsettled tone and although a fair demand was noted in the ,east the premiums of old crop over the new crop cake and meal were sharply lowered4 ,prices for ,october shipment stuff ruled about #e per ton lower than spot offerings in most markets4 ,pressure of new crop offers for deferred shipment tended to check buying4 ,a small volume of business on the basis of #dj at ,kansas ,city for #dc stock was noted1 but buyers generally were hesitant in taking hold4 ,old crop stocks at mills continue in excess of what they were last year4 ,the export inquiry was light4 ,the movement was small4 ,linseed meal and cake4--,production of

particularly by mills having orders for grits for the ,russian ,relief4 ,offerings by western mills increased because of the limited sales during the past month and the accumulation of stocks4 ,supplies in dealers' hands continued fair4 ,the movement was light4 ,alfalfa meal4--,the supply of alfalfa meal was about equal to the demand1 which was normal for this time of the year1 inquiries having been received from all over the country4 ,prices for meal are governed largely by trend of hay prices1 and as the yield of second cutting in many instances was less than was expected1 with poor prospects for the third cutting1 the alfalfa meal situation was quite firm4 ,the supplies of hay available for milling have been reduced considerably through extensive purchases by sheep feeders4 ,millers1 therefore1 do not expect to make heavy offerings in the near future4 ,in fact1 many mills were unable to accept business for immediate1 quick1 or prompt shipment4 ,the movement was fair4
