¥ Prain, Feeds, Hay, Live i Stock and Other Lines Are- Higher. More gains than losses featured the midmonth market on farm products, says the United States Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Agricultural Economics, Market News Service. The sharp general advance in prices during and after the bank shutdown was tem- pered later by more cautious trading, and the price trend became somewhat irregular. There were net gains re- maining for grain, feeds, hay, live stock, woal, cotton and some of the vegetables. ~ Prevailng tone of the dairy and egg markets was unsettled and sometimes weaker under liberal new receipts. Uncertainty regarding imme- diate market effect of emergency finan- cial measures and proposed new legis- lation led to {frequent price unsettle- ment and quick reversals of general market trends, but the trade undertone appeared rather confident on the lead- ing products. Butter Market Improves. Considerable improvement in tone was noted in the butter market after the middle of March. The attitude of confidence evidenced by large bank de- | posits and comparatively - light with- drawals set many at ease, and confi- dence in most commodities was gen- eral. Jobbers, independent retailers and chain stores were inclined to an- ticipate future requirements, and & fairly active trade began to develop, resulting in sharp price advances, which were partly lost by later set- backs. There was little change in the volume of arrivals, but the active buy- ing, more or less of a speculative na- ture, maved ‘large quantities of butter out of first hands. Buyers later again began to operate more cautiously and 4’ prices lost pert of the advance. Trading in cheese was only fair in ¥w01me and gznefllly lacked snap. Cured and held cheese was full steady. { holdings of cheese in the ted States on March 1 totaled 46,- | 978,000 Pounds, compared with 47,106,- 000 on the same date a year ago and five-year average stocks of 48,694,000 " pounds. Since March 1 the net out- of-storage movement of cheese has about equaled that during the same pe- riod a year ago. The make of cheese v gm still “slightly heavier than at that Tt Unsettled Egg Markets. Fgg markets continued unsettled. Prices declined about 1 cent & dozen in New York, then partly recovered after the middle of the month. Occasional weakness was in line with increased re- ceipts, a still disappointing demand and the resulting relatively heavy net move- ment into storage. Pacific Coast eggs at New York were quoted unchanged in price. Pouliry Market Irregular. The poultry markets near the middle of March were featured by the irregular position of fowls. Live fowls advanced ut 5 cents a pound, while quotations on dressed fowl declined about 2 cents. frers of dvessed fowls | tions on withdrawals' within the next el Gl Current two weeks, it was announced here today were inclined to hold back. supplies were fully ample to meet the light demand. but advices from country points indicated that culling of farm flocks during the past two months has been extensive and that the number of hens now on farms probably will mean lghter shipments for the period just shead. Live Stock Market Nervous. Various and conflicting _conditions tended to upset and keep in more or less nervous condition the trade in live stock centers arcund the middle of March. Wholesale dressed meat trade conditions were not such as to lend en- couragement to the trade on any kind of live stock. Dressed markets were re- ceding unevenly, but on some classes sharply, from higher price levels estab- lished during the financial crisis. En- couragement to live stock finishers was found, however, in gradual improvement in retail meat business as the month progressed and in a tendency of many commodities to seek higher levels. In Chicago trading most classes and grades of slaughter cattle, hogs and fat lambs advanceq in price. The upturn was ir- regular and in some cases marked and was _caused in part by unusually light marketings, but the price advances tended to attract relatively liberal sup- lies. B Although several of the larger buy- ing interests did not pagicipate in me trading, the trend of wool prices on the Boston market was upward in mid- March. Fleece wools shared in the buying movement. ‘Wheat feed prices averaged higher the middle of March, although some makes it grow twice as fast . . . AND THICKER!

Recelpts were very light at New York City and were quite readily disposed of at prices averaging about $1 per ton higher than early in the month, Demand for Cash Grain. Domestic grain markets advanced fur- ther after the middle of the month, with the reopening of exchanges and under an activé demand from millers, indus- tries and feeders to replenish stocks de- pleted during the bank and market holi- days. Trading subsided somewhat when foreign markets failed to follow the do- mestic advance and when prices of cot- ton and securities had lost some of their earlier gains. Cash prices mostly fol- lowed the advance in futures, Mills were actively in the market to replenish THEr Pecd rains and rye sirengtioned with wheat, Tt price ‘3; 'were smaller. Flax was higher.

New Florida stock declined to a range of $4.25 to $5.25 per barrel or $1.38 to $1.75 per bushel crate. Cnbb;ge was generally higher. Bulk ish type brought $10 to $11 per ton m Western New York.
