12 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1930. ADVANGE N POTATO PRICES N OTED Grain Markets Continue De- cline, but Live Stock | Values Gain. | Petato prices advanced rather gener. ally during the fir If of Sepemb with sharpest gail in the Middlc West, says the United Statcs Depart- ment of Agriculture, Bureau of Agri- cultural Economics, Market News Serv- fce. Jevels for the season and grain markets in general, along with most mill feeds, were rather weak and unsettled. Year- ling steers reached a new high mark for the season at Chicago and a higher | price level was reported in the sheep | and lamb trade. Butter markets were nervous and unsettled, but prices for both butter and cheese showed little | net change. Egg markets weakened | somewhat under heavier receipts. The potato crop has deteriorated to a point where production, as estimated in the September report, may be only 6| per cent larger than the very short crop | of 1925. All the important main crop States were shipping actively by September. Output from averaging more than 200 ca followed by Long Island with over 100 cars daily. Sacked Cobblers were bring- ing $1.50 to $1.65 per 100 pounds in Aroostook County, Me., with haulings heavy. Eastern jobbing markets were mostly higher and the Chicago market held firm. Peach Shipments. | Shipments of peaches from New York increased greatly. Bushel baskets of 2-inch Elbertas brought $1.35 to $1.50 in Western New York. Terminal mar- | Kkets were rather weak, at & general jobbing range of $125 to $2.85 per| bushel. Best Bartlett and Seckel pears | were returning $120 to $1.25 a bushel | in the Rochester district. City prices | of apples showed little change. Apple | prices were lower in Western New York, | with Wealthys and Maiden Blush at $£1.10 to $1.20 per bushel basket at load- ing stations. | Cabbage declined noticeably under increased car-lot movement. Shippers | in New York State were receiving St to $11 per ton in bulk or $12 to $15 per ton sacked stock. Condition of the | Jate cabbage crop declined approxi-| mately 16 per cent during August, but | production of both domestic and Dan ish types is expected to be larger than| in 1929. The September 1 forecast of | produtcion of cabbage for kraut shows | an increase of 3 per cent over last year's crop. L Receipts of eggs in four principal markets increased sharply during the second week of September, due chiefly to heavier production in commercial | sections of the Middle West. As & result of this increased production and the more ample supply of current re- celpts, pric:s of fresh eggs on the New York market declined one to one and one-half cants. Refrigerator stock #1so declined. The quantity of eggs reported in cold storage on September 1 is still very large, 10,275,000 as compared | with 8.547,000 cases year at tha time and a September I five-year aver- | age of 9,517,000 cases. Poultry Markets. Very little change was. reported in the poultry markets in mid-September. Receipts at four principal markets were about 20 per cent less than. for the same week last year, but were fully ample to satisfy all demands. Eastern markets were well supplied with butter in mid-September. ~Re- ceivers expressad little confidence and followed a liberal selling policy in an | effort to reduce stocks, resulting in a decline of one-half cent on the Eastern markets. Later a recovery was shown | in practically all Eastern cities except Boston. satisfactory and buying confined largely to immediate needs. The recent cold storage report showed holdings on Sep- tember 1 approximately 15 per cent below the figures on the same date last year, but less than 3 per cent below the average figures for that date. Distributing markets reflected the weakening sentiment of country cheese markets and were not more than just steady. Trading on the whole, was quiet and in some guarters concessions were quite freely offered in an effort to | reduce stocks. Cured and held goods | continued steady, with demand only moderate. Cold storage holdings of | American cheese in the United States on September 1 of 87,253,000 pounds are approximately 695,000 pounds in excess | of holdings on the same date a year ago and 7,649,000 pounds over the Septem- ber 1 five-year average holdings. Export demand for wheat was slow and takings by domestic mills of only moderate volume in mid-September. | Prices dropped to new low levels for the season under the influence of heavy of- ferings of new Canadian Spring wheat | and official forecasts of a larger Spring | wheat crop than was in prospect & | month ago. Foodstuff Prices. Commercial feedstuff markets econ- tinued weak and unsettled, influenced by the declining grain markets, some improvement in pastures over a large area as a result of good rains and heavy farm feeding of home-grown supplies.

Wheat prices declined to new low smarked Trading has been ratber un- ||| 1 An easy situation prevailed at Buffalo, ( with liberal offerings of linseed meal by mills and resellers meeting a scat- tered and dull demand. Hominy feed sold lower with corn, but gluten feed held steady. Hay markets were generally steady to stronger. Offerings continued light and demand good from all classes of the/ trade for the better grades, but low- grade hay was difficult to place. With millet, soybeans, second cuttings of clo- ver, and other late hay crops further reduced by drought, the estimate of all hay production has been reduced an- other million tons and now stands ap- proximately 18 per cent below produc- | tion in 1929, 12 per cent below average of the previous five years and also below any scason since 1918. ! An active market on fed yearling| steers and heifers, declines in value for | strong-weight and weighty cattle, and the establishment of higher price levels in ihe sheep and lamb trade featured the livestock trade dufing the second | week of September. The hog market | n time, showing comparatively | little net change. Yearling steers | reached a new high mark at Chicago | and slaughter lambs advanced from 50 to 75 cents. By the Associated Press NEW YORK, Scptember 16 —Orders | reaching the New York market for sea- | sonal merchandise continued in good volume yesterday, although some reports | indicated that they were numerically fewer than a week ago. The slight | slowing up from the peak activity of ast week was interpret:d as confirming reports that retailers have now increased their outstanding orders notably in com- parison with only a short while ago. The increasing flow of inquiries noted last week in the Nation's machine-tool and machinery markets continues at a good rate, the American Machinist re- ports, but sales still lag behind and current demand is mainly for single tools or for actual replacement needs. ‘The Stinson Aircraft Co. of Wayne, Mich., subsidiary of the Cord Corpor: tion of Chicago, has entered into a con- tract with Commercial Investment Trust whereby the investment trust will finance installment sales of Stinson Aircraft. Recent purchasing of imported floor coverings by stores has cleared the | market, of heavy stocks of distress mer- chandise, importers report. A slight stiffening in price has resulted in the lowered goods and actual shortages are now claimed to exist in scatter rugs and the 9 by 12 sizes of cheaper Chinese products. The question of standard measure- ments in shirt folds is attracting con- iderable attention in the trade. An effort s being made to obtain uniform sizes in both long and square folds, as the measurements now being used by different manufacturers vary from 1i of an inch to 2 inches. Uniform sizes, it was pointed out, would permit of standard boxes and eliminate the nu- merous dimensions now being used. Receives Cable Order.
