NCENTERHARKET Smoked Meat Demand Not as Heavy as Usual at B This Time of Year. Dealers reported the condition of the meat market steady, but draggy 5 this morning, a usual condition when %0 many persons are out of the city for the Summer. Smoked meats, ke usually in great deniand during the heated period, have not been in such great demand this season, it is stated, because of the cool weather. Fresh pork ppoducts, especially sausage, are in fairly good demand. Years ago, before packers and retail- ers had improved refrigerating facili- tles, fresh sausage were not offered for sale during the heated periods. It is different now, according to dealers, who state that sales of this commodi- ty at this season are about one-fourth the sales during Winter months. Live turkey prices took a slight ad- yance today, going. from 35 to 38 i Gents, dressed stock being offered at B the latter figure. There was a. slight easing of prices on Spring broilers, & low price of 38 and a high price of 45 on live ones being quoted. Fruits and vegetables continue fair- | 1y plentiful with no appreciable Al changes in prices, and butter and egg prices remained the same as those i reported yesterday.

BY J. C. ROYLE Special Dispatch 1o The Star. follows the flag, so does the bag of peanuts. That is adequately shown by the headway the American peanut has made in foreign markets..Growers in the Southeast are looking forward to higher prices and a most, profitable season. 5 Producers of ‘pecans in ‘the South walnuts on the Pacific Slope are equally optimistic. The cause for this is seen in the spreading of nd and the fact that the carfyo from the last crops are almost negligible. The reduction in acreage planted to peanuts in. Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia' has been marked and growers feel this can be counted on to assure higher prices. The reduction in acreage in Georgia will probably be’ between 20 and 25 pér’ cent from that planted in 1925. Last year Geor- gia planted 278,000 acres of peanuts,| which yielded 70,000 tons, netting growers approximately $7,000,000. This includes the sums: received for the hay cured from peanut vines. Acreage Cut 20 Per Cent. Government authorities estimate that the acreage reduction in Virginia and North Carolina will be fully ‘20 per cent from the 1925 total. Higher vields per acre are anticipated all through the South, althoygh' early cold weather delayed growth of the vines. Georgia State authorities esti- mate the crop this year will approxi- yield growers about the same sun they received last year. The average price in 1925 was $72.50 a ton. The hay item is by no means to be despised. One ton of hay is grown to about each three acres planted Yo peanuts, and last year the average market value of this fodder was $20 a ton and the return to Georgia grow- ers exceeded $1,860,000. The. prices which obtained in 1925 were not sat- isfactory owing to competition from orfental producers. This fact and the determination of farmers to plant big ‘cotton ac in 1926 . explain. the reduction in peanut acreage this year. China. still is in the throes of politi- cal unrest and there is little likelihood that its export of nuts will approach the tonnage shipped in past years. The péanut carryover in this courtry was extremely small. 8 Demand Increasing Steadily. mand moderate, market steady; Flori. da, Georgia and South Caroljna, To‘;'&‘ 60a’ o IWatsons, 34-36 1Ib.

FLEISCHMANN MINORITY REPORTED ABOUT.TO SELL Interests Identified With Morgan Said to Be Negotiating for About $20,000,000 in Firm’s Shares. NEW YORK, July 13 (®).—Minor. ity interest in the Fleischmann Co.) manufacturers of yeast, was reported yesterday as about to be sold to in- terests identified with J. P. Morgan & Co. 4 The stock, said*to represent between 400,000 and 500,000 shares, répresents % part of the holdings of Max C. Fleischmann, chairman of the board and ‘a brother of the late Julius Fielscimann. ' At present quotations of approximately $52 a share the deal wauld involve upward of $20,000,000. Max C. Fleischmann would remain the owner of considerably more than 1,000,000 shares, and control of the gompany would not pass from the average, Demand for nuts is increasing steadily, especially from the confec- tionery trade. The package. candies which have scored the largest sales in the last vear have used tremendous quantities of nuts, while the grocery trade now can be counted on to ab- sorb a definite- gmount. Heavy demand has been built up for branded peanut products, but- the walnut producers in California are prepariig to put their' “John Han- cock” on the nuts themselves. The California Walnut Growers’ Associa- tion has ordered 125-machines, which will brang “each individual nut. sold by the fation this year. This is a new departure in the industry and is designed to advertise ‘the frade mark of the of oranges, gra . and other prod- ucts. It also is'¢ounted on to prevent foreign ~ growers ~and marketing agencies from imitating the Califor- nia brands, The assoclation marketed 30 per cent of California’s 30,000-ton crop last year. This year's yield is expected ‘to be decidedly smaller. The carryover of shelled walnuts is extremely light and -the" frospects are for a light crop abroad. This fore- casts higher prices at the opening of the new season, and some growers expect premiums to be paid for first deliveries. Almond stocks also are lighter than tsual. The pecan . crop in Texas is and larger than in 1925, _PORT TRADE DROPS.
