A2 guw PRODIIGE MARKETS AT LOWER LEVELS Cattle and Poultry Prices Prove Exceptions to Mid- Month Sag. Choice cattle and the poultry prod- ucts were main supports of the irregu- Jar, rather weak markets prevailing on | farm products after the middle of the | the United States Depart- 4 re, Bureau of Agri- conomics, Market News Serv- ce. Heavy, well-finished steers reached new high levels at Chicago. Hogs, ex- cept lightweights, failed to hold quite to the recent marks and there were small to moderate declines in the lamb market. Eggs continued the rising price trend, based on decreasing supplies and light holdings in storage. Fowls also seemed in strong market position, because poultrymen were holding back their laying stock during the time of rising prices for eggs. Butter prices felt moderately the effect of pressure to sell and there were a few weak places in the cheese markets. Fruit and vege- table markets are irregular, with rather more loss than gain. Potato Market Irregular. continued un- le of the month month ment cultur in New Jersey pared with a shipping cents in price range of t 5 Southeastern Minnescta, and 50 to 55 cents in Wiscansin. Maine shippers were getting 35 cents on sacked Cob- blers and 25 to 28 cents on a bulk stock. Jersey-type sweet potatoes declined on the Eastern Shore of Virginia to 95 cents—$1 per barrel of 30 to 37 cents per bushel. City prices were lower on most Eastern stock, although some New ushel stock advanced con- cabbage was York _points, but sacked stock was higher. Lettuce strengthened in Eastern markets. Jap- anese st onions were firm in Massa- tts shipping districts at 45 cents nd bag. but yellow varieties in Western New York were we 30 to 35 cents per sack. The tw crates of celery strengthened in Western w York to a range of 70-7T5 cents. but city market prices were lower on all celery arrivals. Lower prices were quoted on New York peaches. Western New York Bart- lett pears sold higher at 80-90 cents per bushel, but seckels were weaker at 75 cents to $1. A weaker tendency pre- vailed for most receipts of melons. Apple markets were unsettled. West- ern New York Wealthys advanced a little at shipping points to a range of 70-75 cents per bushel. Eastern apples were jobbing in terminal markets at 60 cents to $1.25 per bushel basket Grapes were mostly lower at shipping points Butter Markets Weaken. The butter markets eased off a little after the middle of September under more liberal offerings of fresh butter and prices declined about . cent at all markets. Butter production reports in- dicate that the make is still decreasing +in most sections. There was a net d cline of s cent at Chicego on sales f November delivery. The cheese market has held steady with prices cn the small styles 14 to 'z cent lower in line with lower country ement costs. Trading, while fair in some quarters. was quiet Buye:s _apparently buy, while seller were not particularly tern New incentive to other hand anxious to sell. Egg Markets Firm. The egg markets are full steady on the medium grades of nearby and Middle Western mixed colors, full firm on refrigerator eggs, and much stronger on fancy quality fresh whites. Receipts are running far below those of a ye ago, and withdrawals from storage are quite hea: The supply of fowl is light and hardly enough to supply the demand at prevailing prices. Recent strong ad- vance in egg prices apparently caused farmers to hold back their hens for egz production. Chickens are in lib- era] supply. Prices of broilers are firm Receipts of turkeys are gradually in- creasing while storage stocks are diminishing. Imports from Argentina have been relatively light. Prices are around 27 to 30 cents for strictly fancy stock, and little interest is shown in ‘undergrades. Choice Cattle Reach New Top. Another sharp advance in prices of heavy finished cattle at Chicago, near the middle of September, sent the price to $10.35, the highest since last Jan- main depressing influence in the hog trading at Chicego was the slow dresced pork marlket. which caused Chi- s, as well as Eastern ship- t down their purchases. Heavy old lower, but pigs and light weights tonded higher because of re- duced shirments of that kind. The supply of native lambs increased, but fewer westerns arrived at Chicago and the mid-month decline of 25 to 50 cents was attributable largely to the slump in dressed values. In contrast with the declining fat lamb market. feeder lamb prices were 15 to 25 cents higher. The Boston wool market slowed down as the volume of sales decreased. How- ever, some houses closed large sales, which in the aggregate would have indi- cated a fairly active market, except in comparison with recent weeks when buyinz has been unusually heavy. Ask- ing prices were firm to slightly higher. Millfeed Prices Drop. Spring wheat feeds were weak at Buf- falo the first half of September. De- mand was reported poor at Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Boston. Demand for millfeeds was light in the Southeast, al- though requirements were being grad- ually increased by the deterioration of pastures. Prospective domestic supplies of high-protein feeds for the 1932-3 season appear smeller than those avail- able in recent years. Materially small- er supplies of cottonseed cake and meal are available for 1932-3 compared with last season. Cottonseed meal prices de- clined sharply arcund the middle of September. This decline represented a reaction to the marked advance which in July. Prices were about lower from the peak at Mem- c2d meal prices were irregu- ss at Eastern points and cadines; elscwhere. Slow dairy feed and the severe break in cotton- sead meal were contributing influences. Timothy hay markets remained quiet with light inquiry for the scanty sup- plies. Little trading was reported at the principal Eastern, East Central and Southern markets, but supplies were not burdensome and prices remained un- changed. Grain Market Weak. Domestic wheat markets declined with foreign markets in mid-September, heg: ings of Canadian grain and larger Ru: sian exports, Declines in the security markets was a further cause of weak- e 1 the domestic wheat situation, fluence was largely offset by States wheat, as p: spreads between domestic and [urcpean markets wid- ened. Ry2 remained dull while prices of corn and oats declined to the lowest point in many years, influenced by fairiy large offerings and a continued limited feeder and shipper demand. Some export inquiry developed for corn at the lower prices. Reicl}sbank Rate Lowered. . BERLIN, September 21 (#).—The Reichsbank reduced its interest rate from 5 to 4 per cent today and the rate f collateral from 6 to 5. L} ]WEEK’S GRAIN EXPORTS TOTAL 507,000 BUSHELS By the Associated Press. Grain exports last week from the United States amounted to 307.000 bushels against 924,000 hushels the pre- vious week and 2,620,000 during the corresponding week last year. Commerce Department figures gave the following comparisons between last week's exports and those of the week before: Barley, 102,000 bushels against 534,000; corn, 217,000 against 4.000; oats, 137,000 against 75,000; wheat, 51,000 against 311,000; no exports of rye were reported for either week. Canadian grain exported last week from United States ports totaled 476,000 bushels, against 327.000 bushels the previous week, while exports of North American wheat flour were 71,000 barrels against 42,000 barrels.
