PRIGE GAINS HELP MANY PRODUCERS Butter, Potatoes and Lambs Advance Despite Drop in Other Lines. Price gains on butter, potatoes and lambs, the last week of November were important to many_producers, accord- ing to the United States Department of Agricuiture, But the further declines on such leading farm products as cot- ton. grain, beef cattle, poultry and cggs, were decidedly less encouraging features. Butter replaced eggs in the upwerd trend, because of expected changes in supplies of both lines. Poultry, especially dressed turkeys. scld lower than exp:cted Thanksgiving Wweek and the market still is depressed. Grein and cotton responded unfavor- ably to foreign market and currency developments. Live stock felt the dull- ness usual during the poultry season. Potatces are holding recent gains with tendency to advance in some producing sections. Cabbage fully maintained the November rise of $1 to $2 a ton at country shipping points. Apple markets are irregular without murfi change of trend. The butter market showed price €ains of 1 to 2 cents the last week of November. At New York, fancy storage top grades were difficult to find. Other itsms adding to the strengih of the ! market position werz the increasingly favorabie storage situation, continued decrease of the fresh cutput as com- pared with a year ago and a fairly sat- Isfactory consuming demand.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 20.—The New York Stock Exchange yesterday published its official year book, which showed. as of October 1 last, that the total number of branch offices of mem- ber firms were at their lowest level \since 1928. There were 1,178 such of- fices, of which 188 were in New York City and 990 .in other cities, This compared with @ total of 1,347 on Jan- uary 1, 1932, of which 208 were in New York and 1139 in other cities, and with peak figures of 1,658 on January 1, 1930, of which 294 were New York offices and 1,364 were in other cities. In 1928 the total number was 1.394. The figure did not cross the 1,000 mark until 1927. Leading States Given. ‘The five States in which the Stock Exchange members had the greatest number of branch offices were New nichons, 1.25; muscatels, 1.00; Thomp son seedless, 2.25a2.50: Malaga, 1.50; juice grapes, 70a85; honeydews, 'z(lfllI 50; elligator pears, 1.25a1.75; 3 Christ- 2.25; oranges, | Florida, 2.7 ; California, 3.00a4.50; | Satsumas, 3.50a4.00; grapefruit, 3.T5a | 4.00; lemons, 4.5026.00; persimmons, 1.25 | 150, limes, per 100, 2.00; cranberries, | operators were ¢autious, suspecting that the higher prices to consumers are pos- sibly a check to consumption and that the” rising butter prices may be an incentive to heavier feeding which would lead to an increase in produce tion. The net reduction in storage holdings continues to exceed that of a year ago by a wide margin. The make of butter continues to show sharp de- creases from that of a year ago at all points. Cheese Prices Higher. With the improved butter markets came also more confidence in the cheese position. Fresh cheese full steedy in distribating centers d firm at| country shipping points, this firmness being reflected in an advance of one- half cent in Wisconsin producing sec- ticns near the end of November. The Thanksgiving market was lib- erally supplied with turkeys. Whole- and retail prices were the lowest nce before the World War. Retail prices in the East ranged around 25 to 29 cents, a.though in some of the cut- Tate stores prices were quoted as low as 20 cents. The demand was slow and even more conservative than had been expected, foreing receivers to shade Prices closely in order to obtain any sort of a clearance. It is impossible to judge at this time the extent of the carryover, although in some cuarters it is considered large. The plentiful supplies of turkeys and the low prices for which they sold tended to slow down the dt‘nnd for roasting chickens. Prices of drefsed fowl held strong until the end of November. Supplies were light and cleared closely under a rela- tively good demand, end in some cases dealers were forced to use refrigerator | &I goods to supply the trade. Prices ad- vanced’ about 2 cents in mid-Novem- ber, but the gain was partly lost and the range, of sales in New York ssgged back near the level prevailing early in the month. ‘The supply of fresh eggs continues limited, but dealers are not encourag- ing large shipments to arrive at cur- ren:od ’ou.

Recelpts generally ‘are heavy following Thanksgiving and, with the produc- tion of the current year's pullet crop sen.lng well under way, prices start to ecline, Indications point to a similar declinéhis year, although, with pullets hatched somewhat later and storage stacks. the smallest for many seasons, the declines may be more gradual than usual. - Markets were weak near the first of December and prices at New York back to the mid-November level, Live Stock Mostly Lower. Holiday influences tended to reduce live stock marketings during the last week of November and decreases were shown In receipts of all classes, The shrinkage at 12 important markets was about 23,000 cattle, 16,000 calves, 101, 000 hogs and 50,000 sheep. Liberal sup- plies of poultry, available at prices that attracted consumer demand, tended to curtail the outlet for other meats. The market on fat lambs showed improvement, but further declines were effecled on practically all classes and rades of slaughter cattle, while the 0g market was unable to improve its low-price position of the week previous. The yolume of business transacted on the Boston wool market was rather light and centered largely on fine wools, { on which prices were steady to firm. Wheat feed prices in late November were quite irregular, averaging slightly lower comipared with the middle of the month, but were still a little higher than in early November. Northern and Eastern markets appeared somewhat stronger than Central Western markets. Colder weather and higher prices for | butter and eggs did not appear to have increased consumer demand for bran and shorts. Cottonseed meal lost ground &nd the small consumer demand was centered chiefly on feed for early ship- ment. Soybean and gluten meals were higher. _Tankage was unchanged and | linseed meal was irregularly lower. ‘De- | mand centinued fairly active for tank- age. Hominy feed advanced sharply | and the light offerings were in moder- ate demand. Grain Markets Weak. Domestic grain markets were weak | and lower during the last week of No- | vember and wheat futures at Chicago| declined to new record Jows. Further | declines in values of forelgn currencies, | increased offerings of wheat from the | Southern Hemisphere, weakness in se- | curity markets and a continued dull demand for United States wheat were the prineipal weakening influences Feed grains weakened with wheat, but a continued dull inquiry from feeders | and industrial buyers and lack of an export outlet also contributed to the decline. Rye was slightly lower at most markets. Flax declined around 3 centy per bushel, along with the lower wheat values and a dull nd from crushes Timothy and cl T continue lly equal to cur- ading sti) e inquiry remained grade hsy only potatces were generally higher at Eastern shipping points and but some Wweakness de- loped in the North Central region near the end of the month. Shippers of sacked Green Mountains in North- en Maine received 54 to 65 cents per 100 pounds. City cabbage markets strengthened and Western New York producing sections quoted cabbage high- er at $5.50 to $6.50 per ton. Growers and dealers reported November holdings nearly 176,000 tons, or 48.000 tons more than at the same time last year. Cel- ery prices declined. Virginia sweet po- tatoes held steady at 75 cents to $2 per barrel in terminal markets. Apple prices tended slightly upward. The Potomac Valley ‘sppie area reported f. 0. b. sales of Yorks at 95 cents per bushel . Pennsy Balance Given.
