THE BISMARCK TNEUS ray eaeuey, MAY 1, 1980 BUROPE'S INDUSTRY ABNORMALLY LOW; AFFECTING US 700 Farm Prices in This Country Decline, While Demand for Wheat Is Up Slightly LAMB OUTLOOK IS HOPEFUL Not Much Chance for Cattle to Rise; Flax Prospects De- pend on Linseed Oil By Rox E. Willard, Farm Economist, North Dakota Agricultural Colleze The seasonal upward trend in busi- ness activity has occurred but the ex- tent of the increase is much less than a year ago and the general level of business activity is considerably low- er than last year. Industrial activity in European countries is abnormally low and commodity prices have dropped materially’ and unemploy- ment is increasing. To assist in off- setting this depressed situation, in- terest rates. have been. lowered and credit conditions are easy so far as industry is concerned. Construction of public buildings has increased but construction in other lines is still in a slump. Automobile production has increased seasonally, but the monthly production was ‘some 200,000 cars fewer for. March, 1930, than for March, 1929. Carload shipments of freight are fewer-for the ‘first quarter of 1930, compared with the same period a year Ago. Most indications point to a very general depression, world-wide in ex- tent, and recovery from this situation will be slow and gradual. The de- mand situation for farm products for the next crop probably will not be as good as indicated in the outlook re- port for February. Farm products prices in the United States declined in March and the zeneral level was about the same April 15 as March 15. Wheat World wheat supplics have not changed materially, but the world demand apparently has increased slightly. It seems probable that the July 1 carryover of wheat in the Unit- ed States will be about the same as that of 1929. If the crop this year comes through on the basis of present indications, next year’s surplus will be about the same as for the past crop year. The world acreage of winter wheat as reported for 15 countries is 4 of 1 per cent less than that of last year. Flax Because of the industrial depression, the probable demand for linseed oil for the coming crop in the United States is likely to be considerably less than for the.lastetwo or three years. If the March 1 intentions for plant- ing flax, (35 per cent increase) are greatly exceeded and a crop much oetter than average is made, there is some danger that Unitd States may produce more flax than will be con- sumd in this country. Potatoes Any material increase in potato acreage in 1930 will tend to depress prices. Early potatoes are already coming to market in greater quanti- ties than a year ago. Large growers generally indicate a tendency to cut down while ‘small ‘growers indicate probable increased plantings. Cattle Supplies of cattle in April and May are expected to exceed-those.of a year ago and it is doubtful that the num- ber of unfinished cattle to the coun- try will continue at the relatively high rate of recent months; the general trend in cattle prices is likely to be downward, in scan ete. Relatively low corn prices are like- ly to influence some feeders to market their hogs at heavier weights and this may delay the spring marketing of fall pigs. Slaughter in January and February was somewhat heavier than ® year ago. European conditions in- -tlicate a less favorable export situation for pork for the next few months. Cold storage holdings are about 18 per cent less-than in 1929 and about & per cent less than the five-year average. Lard stocks are about 41 per cent less than a year ago. Lamb: Ss Supplies of lambs continued ex- xcssive in March, the inspected slaughter being 30 per cent greater than that of a year ago and 32 per sent greater than the five-year aver- age. Slaughter for the first three months of 1930 was the greatest of any period on record. Supplies are \ikely to be more nearly normal by Guest Room We provide a guest room in our funeral home for ‘the conveni- ence of our pa- trons, whether living in the city or from a dis- tance.

Storage stocks are about 25,000,000 pounds greater. Conditions generally do not indicate as large a spring production this year as last year. March receipts of! but- ter at the principal markets were 2 per cent greater than for the same Period a year ago. Egg prices are not likely to make their seasonal advance in April and May and smail declines may be ex- pected. While the seasonal advance of chickens will probably continue it is not likely to be as great as last year. Egg receipts during March were 15 per cent greater and receipts of dressed poultry were 16 per cent greater than a year ago.
