T i E BIG “TAR BABY’ ’

NO- MATTER HOW ELECTION
GOES, THINGS ASE GOING
TO BOOM RlOHT ALONG.

 

 

 

 

Plenty of BUslno'S’s Right Up to Elec-
tion Day and Bigger Business
In Sight.

The campaign of 1912 is over, draw
a long breath and thank goodness for
that. The politicians tried to get up
the old<tlme scare. They ﬁxed up the
“tar baby,” had things ready to apply
the party lash; but no one was startled
when the old whip cracked. Several
automobile concerns issued statements
concerning the future of that indus-
try, and talked learnedly about “tariffs
and foreign labor;” but the dear peo-
ple were on to their curves, and they
didn’t even intimidate their employes.
Such tactics are of the ages past.

Rig-ht up to the very day of election
a constantly increasing business was
recorded instead of the usual persist-
ent dropping off just before a general
election.

It is worthy of note that mercantile
and manufacturing business on the
whole is practically what it was at
this date in 1905. Activity in the
stock and bond market is just a shade
below what it was. at that time and
banking conditions are about the same.
By going back to the ﬁrst of Novem-
ber, 1905, we will ﬁnd the business sit—
uation very similar to that which we
have today and in the closing months
of 1905 and the opening months of
106. we will ﬁnd a series of events
which. it is reasonable to presume, will
be followed fairly closely in the next
few months.

Our September exports reached with»
in a few dollars of 200 million dollars.
a gain of 4 millions over September
of the previous year and our imports
totaled 145 millions compared with 125
millions in the same month in 111. The
balance of trade in our favor for Sep-
tember amounted to 55 million dollars
compared with nearly 71 millions for
the same month lust‘year. The total
volume of exports and of imports both
set new high ﬁgures for the month of
September. Total exports for the nine
months have amounted to l 616 million
dollars against 1,455 millions for the
same period last year and total im—
ports have been 1,333 millions com-
pared with 1 ,132 millions for the ﬁrst
nine months of 1911.

The net shortage of freight cars at
the last report on October 10 had in-
creased nearly 14 000 cars over the re
port issued two weeks previously This
left an actual shortage of more than
31 000 cars, which cieates an acute sit-
nation

The handicap to an otherwise clear
business situation remains the number
of business failuies During Septem-
1161 l 083 concerns failed with total
liabilities of nearly 20 million dollars
while only 887 failures were recorded
for September, 1911 with liabilities of
loss than 15 million dollars. Another
authority reports 1 000 failures for
September with more than 25 million
dollars liabilities. The actual ﬁgures
are probably somewhere between these
two estimates, but in any case, buli~

Having learned the position of
quite a few of the large hand-
. lers of hay in the state of
' ~ .ichigan during the ,past week, I have
’m‘ade up}. my mind that if we raise
the present standard of prices on this
commodity, it will be by virtue of the
manner in which you, as individuals,
1, handle it. The buyers over the state
of Michigan are not looking forward
" to .advancing the price, because, ac—
: cording to their contention, there is

altogether too much common hay back
'"l'in the country to warrant it. One of
the largest shipers in the state ﬁgures

 
 
   
  

   
  

  

  
 

  

 

" dred cars of hay that will not be ship-

‘ped out of the “Thumb of Michigan
this year because of its poor condition,
being stained and damaged to such an
extent that it was not of a commercial
nature.

I still hold that our good hays,
either of good, clean timothy qualities,
or of nice, bright mixed qualities, are
going to be in good demand and are
going to bring an advanced price over
the present market level. True itlis
that these poor hays would have a
tendency to reduce the price possible

. to obtain on a natural market; but the
1 car situation, and the price that this
kind of hay will naturally bring, is go
ing to curtail the movement of the
same to the extent that our good hays
will bring the price regardless of the
feeling the large dealers now enter-
tain for it.

There has not been any particular
change in the situation during the last
week. We need not look for any par-
ticular change in the situation from
now on until weather conditions make
a decided change. We need not look
for any leapslorbounds to the situa-
tion any time during the season. It is

. going to be a year where the price
will run along comparatively steady.
We may see a little ﬂuctuation, and
flurries and depressions now and then.

from a general market standpoint, we

: changes. I believe, as has been my
contention from the start, that the
'3' ~ ‘ tendency has been for these good hays

to gradually get a little better tone, a
3 little better feeling, and as a. result
' 'show a little better price. I am not
‘ going to change the price possible to
obtain in your respective zones from
that as shown last week, these prices
being as follows:

DETROIT—Peculiar as .it may seem
the Detroit market is in about as good
shape as any market in the United
States today. I do not believe any
market is really netting more money
to the shipper than is the Detroit
market at the present time. No large
or terminal markets that I know of
are taking the different characters of
hay that are naturally running and
Out-turning quite as much. True, the
New York market, Chicago and some
other markets are taking over fancy
:hays in timothy varieties and netting
the shipper a little more, but from a
general standpoint, all grades consid-
, ored, the Detroit market is holding up

in very nice shape The tone to the
Kmtuation here is very good, with no
mongestion and offerings freely taken.

Pittsburg market, all eyes have been
turned toward it and shipmentsmade
accordingly. The result is that at the
moment the Pittsburg market is in a
glutted condition. The market is de-
pressed through having to struggle to
make disposition of receipts in line
with the market conditions elsewhere,
or on a natural market. All tracks in
Pittsburg show an accumulation. Low-
er prices are looked for,a}1d will ex-
ist, unless receipts are lighter so that
the accumulation now on hand may be
cleaned up. I might say this, how-
ever, that with the conditions on this
market facing us, receipts will certain-
ly become lighter at once, . lowing
them to clean up, and in a}, y few
days our Pittsburg market will be back
with the rest.

CINCINNATI—The situation on the .

Cincinnati market has been of the
hand-to-mouth variety. It has been
the contention, evidently, of"‘the buy-
ers on this market that the market on
hay was going to gradually decline;
that they would as a result have a
chance to take advantage of the same.
With these conditions existing, the
Cincinnati market has not shown any
advance over the conditions we report-
ed last week; in fact, I hardly think
the situation there is quite so good. I
do not believe the tone to the situation
is as good as was reported in our last

CHICAGO—We are pleased to report
that the Chicago market continues to
be in pretty good shape. Right from
the start this year”, the Chicago mar-
ket has more than held its own with
other outside receiving centers. The
demand there at the moment is ex-
ceptionally good for good quality tim-
othy hay, and there is also a good,
healthy tone to the situation with re]-
erence to mixed hay. The arrivals on
this market continue to be light, the
demand exceeding receipt at all times.
This market has certainly been fav-
ored in this respect. It is almost im~
possible to é'xpect that any market
would be favored with receipts and
demands running along as this market
has. one usually gets ahead of the
other The demand for rye straw on
this market is not so good as one week
ago, there having been heavy receipts,
while the oat and wheat straw showed
to be a little better. . .

BOSTON—While we are not able to
advance quotations over those." shown
in last week’s report, on the Boston
market, still we are of the opinion

. that the tone to thesituation is iﬁ'iich

healthier than one week ago. We have

heard of a number of inquiries com- '

ing into the sta during the paSt
It would show that receipts from other
angles were not suﬁlcient to keep up
with the demand that was gradually
existing. It is possible thatour Can-
ada friends will not be able to take
care of this trade as in the, past. If
not, it will open up a channel for Our
Michigan hays and help us out on the
excess we have Just that much. How-
ever, I have no faith whatever in 'the
above being the true situation that
will exist; I do not believe that we
shall be able to use the Boston market
this year, nor for years to come.

NEW' YORK—There has been but
little change in conditions on this mar-
ket during the laSt week. The supply
actually being offered, and the amount

of hay actually in transit, is a little .

lighter than we were able to report in
our last issue. All roads at the mo-
ment are open and free from embargo,
receipts have been heavy and trade
has not been very active. While the
supply of low grade hay is a little less
than one week ago, still there con-
tinues to be an excess of this grade
on the market. New York, being a
very sensitive market along quality,
lines, if forced to an accumulation on
anything but high grade stuff. As is
hsual with this market, anything but
high grade hay in straight timothy
qualities and high class mixed, was
moved at a concession

We have been asked to set a standard

standard price to the farmer. at 40

DETROIT — The Detroit market,
from the very start this year, has
been one of the best markets we have
had for potatoes. There have been.
times when other markets have been~ .
congested and a very low market ex- .
isting, when at the same time the De1 .
troit market was running right along ..
in a good, healthy state. This market
is a small one, and is not susceptible
to changes, as a larger market is. :It a"
is not so susceptible? to these inﬂuences
as other markets, because they can
usually get ‘along here if the receipts
are not quite so heavy, and they can
also hold back or move the stock 113 .
the receipts are a .little in excess.
Right at the moment, with the. gen-”
eral situationquite a good deal" better ’f‘

 

'all over the territory and, at outside, ‘

terminal markets, the Detroit market
does not wish to respond, in other
words, they do not wish to advance
with otjmrs. They do not seem to be
incline tokeep in step with the pace
set by other markets. ' It would be 3.1-. ,

around 5 to 10 cents per bushel. The
natural market possibly is in variance
,, with these ﬁgures, but you will please
. appreciate that when a market is con-
gested, there is really no stable foun-
datiOn to the market at all; alI kinds
of pri’oes are being made, of course;
‘thé Situation warrants most anything
and most anything has to be done in
order ,to effect a movement of the sur-
"plus. I do not believe that we can
report that the Pittsburgh market is
as crazy as the buyers over the state
of Michigan are at the present time.
They do not seem to be at all excited
over the situation; they do not seem
» to be afraid of not being able to get
‘ potatoes. It would really be almost im-
possible to pay the prices that are be-
ing paid at some points in the state of
‘Michlgan and place the stock on the
Pittsburgh market at a proﬁt at the
. present time, although there are
worlds of other places in the state
where the market is not» so high as it
should be, in which case the Pitts-
burgh market, and most any other,
would show more than a normal

proﬁt.

a :olutely impossible for the Michigan

has been fairly active this week with
the general tendency of prices up-
w‘ard. A good. deal of the poor state
stock that had accumulated on the
market. has been cleaned up and the
new arrivals have been small and
show better condition. There has

been a big demand for Maine horas
toes and receipts were lighter than ,

to .03! shortage and partially to the"
fact-thatMaine holders seem in no

big hurry to ship, though it is known
that they have plenty of potatoes
there and as the weather is coming
shortly heavier shipments were to be
‘expected. Holders there‘ are gradu-
ally j “forcing " their ﬁgures upwards.
Maine Central points are quoting 45c

' NEW YORK—Receipts of potatoes
ffor the ﬁrst half of the week were
35, 876 bbls., against 53 .865 for the
Same period last week and 33, 917 last
year.

The accumulation of State potatoes
in the yards, with prices ranging from
$10 car to $125 bbl.. has kept prices
down on all lines this week. While
there was no excitement and the mar-
ket was quiet all week yet there was
a stronger feeling both’on Maine and
Pennsylvania goods. Receivers are
getting practically nothing out of the
State as loaders are refusing to take
any chances. The black
spread all ‘OVer western New York
and reports from Clinton and Frank-
lin counties show that it is prevalent
in that section. The outlook now is
that there will be a heavy reduction
in the State’s output-and this may
make a big difference in the windup,
though for several weeks the market
is not likely to be affected because of
the heavy surplus in Maine. An oc-
casional car of choice State stock will
bring 52@53c delivered. During the
past week several cars were con-
demned by the Board of Health, and
buyers are generally leaving State
goods alone.

Maines have been qiute steady all
week, though the market is quiet and
will probably remain so until the
yards have been cleared 'of the sur-
plus of inferior State potatoes. Maine
Central shipping points report a good
demand, and loaders are holding ﬁrm-
er views than a Week ago. Maine
shippers are storing heavily. and, re-
ports show that the warehouses a‘l'e
already fairly .well ﬂied. In the yards,
Maines ayeraged 59@62c delivered.
Loaders are paying about $1 bbl. in

WHEAT

In reality, we could leave our
m last week’s article on this com-

modity without any change, be-
cause there is no change to the situa-

 

 

 

 

tion to report to you at this time. It '

is true that we can look at our daily
papers and they will have a long ar-
ticle each day in regard to the wheat
situation, but if you take the whole
week’s run of articles and sum them
up and boil them down, you will ﬁnd
that they haven’t changed the situa-
tion one bit, and I want to say to you,
conservatively, ' that they cannot
change the situation on this commod-
ity, because from a,Michigan stand-
point we have nothing to change it
We haven’t the goods. We
haven’t any» voice in the matter what-
ever. From a wheat producing stand—
point, we are not “in it.” The situa-
tion all hangs'on the Balkan turn of
affairs, at the present time. Every eye
is on the situation existing there at the
moment. I do not believe that we shall
see enough change in the situation to
affect the price, etc. from now on for
three months, to amount to anything.
The tone of the situation is healthy.
There is a big demand for all of its
by—products. The ﬂour situation is
most healthy, and, in fact, every by-
product of wheat is wanted. The de-
mand, while it may not exceed the
supply, is right along after~ it. From
the situation as it appears, wheat must
maintain about its present standard
for some time.

CINCINNATI——There seems to be
heavy receipts on the Cincinnati mar-
ket. During the past week sellers
were obliged to make some concessions
in order to induce trading. The trade
hung back. If you will remember,.
there was quite a heavy run of stuff to
this market the week previous. All
buyers took hold freely, so that when
this week came around they were in
fairly good shape, and could get along
without taking hold of anything fur-

ther. The situation on this market is
just a little easy.

BEANS

 

 

 

.13

1am pleased to report having
interviewed a, number of pro-
ducers the past week who were
from different sections of the state.
They One and all advised me that
beans in their given locality were got-

" ten up in pretty good shape The early
run of beans were gotten up in excel? '

“able to harvest them,

good shape. The early
beans that were harvested before
the rain, ought not to pick over one or
two pounds per bushel. ,I presume the
most of those which were harvested
during the wet weather might run up
to ﬁve or six pounds, but I do not be
lieve the beans that were left in the
ground until after this spell ought to
pick over three to four pounds. Sum-

. ming this all up, I do not believe this

season’s crop ought to average over
founpoun'd pickers over the state of
Michigan.
commodity in pretty good shape to put
on the market; the discount, by virtue
of its condition, ought not to be very
heavy. This is a year when our
Brother Reardon, who made the- bean
schedule, ought not to work out to as
good advantage to the elevator men as
previously. Last year, with beans
picking from four pounds to forty, this
new schedule certainly got in its good,
heavy wallops.

There is always someone to conjure
up some reason why beans ought not
to be worth what they are, or ought
to be worth more than they are, etc.
The latest is now by virtue of the
heavy potato amp and its value being
a little below normal, eSpecially as
based on the present value of other
food stuffs, that beans are too high;

,and that by virtue of their unbalanced

condition with other commodities,
should naturally be lower. They also
state that if beans hold at their pres-
ent level, for’bign beans will be shipped
in. They could holler their heads of!
about the situation being this or that.
so far as I am concerned, because I
have already studied the situation out,
and, so far as I am concerned, it looks
healthy, the tone to the situation per-
fectly satisfactory, having every evi—
dence of producing the result that we
have predicted in our previous issues.
I want to say to you further, that re-
gardless of the price on potatoes or
any other commodity, beans have
stepped out on the commercial mar-
kets of the world and made a place
for themselves, and they are going to
continue in commercial favor from
now on. The time has passed for cheap
beans. With a normal situation exist‘
ing from a large commercial angle,
beans ought never to be under 3 cents
per pound. Now, there is absolutely

no sense in a bushel of beans being/ﬂ,

sold to an elevator in Michigan this
less than $2.40 per bushel,
hand-picked basis, while some favor-
ably situated points ought to pay more,
and on the same basis, some heavy
rate points a little less, but not much.

LUMP IN HOGS: FEATURE OF THE MARKET Prices fall off nearly

S ninety cents per hundred Pere Marquette brings twenty seven cars,

Grand Trunk sixteen Whole live stock market affedcted Better prices
looked for when present heavy run is over."

H 0 G SI H O C 5/ ’lhe morning papers of Thursday last thus com:-

mented on the condition or the Detroit live stock

AND MORE HOGS, market. The Buffalo market was but little better;

Chicago also had a bad case of over- feeding.

Fortunately, the writer was on a trip through central Michigan when he
read this report. Wonder What is the cause of this slump? Meats or all kinds
are high; reports do not justify this slump

What is the cause of the “present run?” Wonder .if we can locate the
cause?

At the very ﬁrst station we saw a dozen or more loads of live hogs, the
farmers waiting their tugn to unload. At the next station a similar condition
existed. Friday we drove through the country and during the iorenoon passed
thirty~seven loads of live hogs, which were being delivered at the near-by
markets.

Everybody seemed to have the “hog fever.” Prices were lower than the
week before, and still going down

Every time a farmer drove on the scales and weighed up his hogs, he
added the net weight to the already sinking market.

Farmer Brown regretted that he did not sell a few weeks before, when the
prices were higher; but he was too busy, and now, alas, the price was going
down and he must sell, and sell quickly

Farmer Jones learned from the stockbuyer that Farmer Brown had sold
his hogs, and the stock buyer had told him (conﬁdentially, of course) that
pork was going down, and he quit d1awing beets and started for town with
his hogs.

Hurry, hurry; everybody hurry. For be it known that HOGS, the real
stuff from which pork is made, are GOING DOWN ~

The more you hurry and the more hogs you have, the more the price Will
go down. So load them on the scales. We are weighing them against the
demand.

White hogs, Jersey hogs, long-nosed hogs and snub- nosed pigs—everything
with bristles on their backs Hurry, hurry, for the price is going down

AND THE PRICE OF HOGS WENT DOWN '

Ah, ha, we have won. we ﬁgured that the price was going down; we
sold at a lower price, but thanks to our individual but united action, We won
the day. And here’ 8 evidence of the farmers’ victory:

‘SLUMP IN HOGS FEATURE OF THE MARKET.”
s t c

There is a way to successfully work the market game. Of course, it’s an
old “gag," older by far than the “now ”you -seeit-and- -now- -you- don’t-seen" shell
game, but it still works.

Keep,.this a secret, please; mind you it was. developed by the “seventh
son of a seventh son,” The plan will work in ninetyeseven cases out or a
hundred.

Sh! Sh! No one about. Listen! It you want to get hold of any given
commodity that is in the farmer’s hands, ﬁrst boost the p1dce.as high as it will
stand. A good time to do this is when the farmers are busy with other work
and the supply is coming in slowly, then you 'don’t suffer even. a-slight loss.
Through the high prices, you get the farmers’ attention. He is watching for
the'day when he has time to sell his hogs - ~

Now don’t wait too long The, work is nearly out of the way. Drop the
price a little; report, "More hogs than ever before.” ,-

and sit very quiet on the stock-yard fence.

NEW YORK——The feature of the
applermarket in New York this week
was: the heavier receipts and the
decline. in pripesx of box apples. They
heve-declined-50c per box on all va-
rietiee: since Monday. Spitzenbergs,
which» averaged $2.25. per box Mon-
day, sold at the close of the week to
average $1.75. Other varieties suf—
fered in proportion. A large portion
of the receipts of box apples have
run’ to small sizes, and these have
had ,little attention from the better
class of trade and moved at $1.25@
1.40.

Barrel apple receipts have contin-
ued liberal, but the movement has
been, very shtisfactory at about the
same range of prices prevailing the
previous week. C. H. and C. W. Kim-
ball; quoting the market as follows:
Greenings, $2@3; Baldwins, $2@2.25;
Kings, $2.50@3; Ben Davis, $1.50@2,
and York Imperials $2@2.50. The ex-
ports continue heavy.

NASHVILLE——Not in years have
applesbeen so plentiful as this sea-
son. Prices haVe dropped several
times. under pressure of the heavy
movement, and the market has not
yet reached its lowest level. All va-
rieties seem plentiful this year, and
prioessre cOrrespondingly low. Fancy
Western varieties are in abundance,
and it is, expected that the season
,will end with fruit much lower than
for several seasons past. There is a
movement among local farmers. whose
apple, and pear crbps were very heavy
to put, their fruit in cold storage for
afew months on account of the weak
market and low prices.

'ROCHES’TER—In spite of the ef-
torts of, growers and pickers, they
havenot gotten all the apples on the
trees yet, Unfavorable weather has
handicapped the work. 'Two days it
rained steadily and men could do
nothing. Later it cleared and some
growers found part of their forces
had quit. The crop has turned out so
large and the work has: been delayed
so muchby labor scarcity and poor
weather: that the crop will not be
harsestgeduntil the middle of Novem-
ber. After the ﬁrst week of Novem-
ber there... is. always. danger of a
ireeze, and orchardists are bending
evony. effort to get the crop. in, as
soon in possible-

market advances; , ,

A development causing annoyance
isthe shortage of oil-s. On the. On-
tasio division of vibe-New York Cen-
tral shippers have been held up: and
have suffered. losses, owing to inabil-
ity of railroad to furnish adequate
cars. Last spring the storage plants
of Northern Wayne were handicapped

in the same way when they desired

to move their produce. Mare cars
will be’needed this year than, ever to
move the western New York apple
crop, which will total 6,500.000 bbls.

The quality of apples now going
into Storage is, better than the aver-
age. As a-rule. Baldwins show good
color and 8129. Many of them are
practically perfect; They are or
large size, weighing 10@12 ounces,
and. have a deep red, color. gKingsare
also of large size and good color, as
a rule.

CHICAGO—Receipts are heavy.
There is a free movement into stor-
age. Storage space is scarce. Bald-
wins are in heavy receipt'and are the
mainstay of the market. The New
York 1'. o. b. price ranges around $2,
and this means $2.35@2.50 here. The
quality generally is. good. Poor
stock sold as low as $1.50. Jona-
thans are about done, but exra fancy
bring $3.50@4. The only varieties
cutting. any ﬁgure besides Baldwin
and Jonathans are Spies, Greenings
and Twenty Ounce. Fancy Spies
bring $2@2.25. Greenings are scarce
and bring. $2.25@2.50. Twenty Ounce
bring $2.75@3. '

There is good trading in bulk up-
ples. Quite a few cars are coming
packed this. way and the market is
low but steady. Good orchard run
bring 60@80c. Picked stock would
do better but there is little coming.
There has been quite an inquiry for
bulk apples of one variety such as a
straight car of Spies or Baldwins.
The box apple market is in a poor
condition. There is only a limited
trading in a small way on the basis
of auction prices.

ClNCINNATI——Receipts are heavy
and plenty are going into cold stor~
age. Some are being altered for sale
at track in bulk cars and in barrels
at store. PriCes range on Kings.
Twenty Ounce, Wealthy, Hubbard-
son, Fall Pippins and other soft va-
rieties, $2.50@3.50 bbl. In bulk on
track these varieties sell $2@2.50 bar-

abundant that an embargo has been
placed on the fruit. Prices. it is
claimed, have not been so low for
years and dealers fear still lower
prices will prevail unless stocks on
hand can be cleaned up. It is
r-E‘laimed that in and outside the yards
' there are more than 100 cars of ap-
ples. Bulk apples sell as low as 50c
per 100 lbs. Best Kings are offered
as low as $2. 65. The like grade a

ONIONS

We are raising Flag No. 3 on

Onions because on some out-

, side markets the situation

would really warrant it; on some oth-

ers it does not. There has been an

i satisfactory for the future—also prom—
onions this fall. There is absolutely
no question about it, and the move-
ment at the moment—«and that is un-
it. satisfactory for the future—ales prom-
‘ ises to be very heavy. I know of a
hundred cars of onions going out from

one territory, just as quick as cars

can be procured This is from only

1 one onion section in the state of In-
‘dia‘na. With other sections, and oth-
"ers being aware of actual shipping
conditions, you can appreciate the
...'¢bndit'ion which will be in evidence.

I I: really believe that we shall see bet—
ter market conditions, better prices,
than We are experiencing at the mo-
ant; but those who have raised
as, who know their nature, what
cans to hold, ”store etc., are aware

If we allstore'd our onions and held

them for a apring or winter prise,

price would be. I think it is well that
we are handling the situation about

as we are, letting the natural now of

onions go on the market. now and
those who are in a posiﬂdn to specu-
late and who have stdr’agie houses to
help them out in their speculation,
go ahead and speculate to their
hearts' content. The'one thing that.
does not look right to the writer, is
so many of the buyers on the Indiana
markets who have actually laid down
on the problem, not buying onions at
any price and when they are buying
they are simply picking out those who
are forced to sell and taking advan-
tage of them. Now, a situation like
that ought not to exist, and I hope
that every onion producer who reads
this “Pink Sheet” will gradually study
out a. means whereby conditions like
this can be eliminated, or, in other
words, figure out what v on need so
that you can take care of your own
shipments. It may result that or-
ganization is what you need.

DETROIT—The Detroit market
has held up in pretty good shape dur-
ing the last week. Receipts have
been pretty heavy, but the majority
of those who naturally put away).
few onions have been taking'them in.
During this period I have inspected a
number of cars of both sacked and
‘ﬁulk stock_ being unloaded, and,l am
pleased to report this stock in almost
every instance in nice condition. I
inspected a number from our Indiana
territories and some from Michigan
territories and the quality, color,
ﬁrmness, etc., were all'very satisfac-
tory. This makes me appreciate and
think what the situation would nat-
urally be if we did not have the qual-
ity. With the abundance we have, if
we did not have the quality, it would
be almost impossible to move at any

price. .

ClNCINNATI.-—-There was a good,
fair demand on the Cincinnati mar-1
ket during the past week. The car-
load lots of good, straight size and
quality were moving of! rapidly and
the tone». to the situation was good.
All sales were made on a compara-
tively satisfactory basis. There was
not an overly heavy movement during
the week, nor were the receipts ex—
tremely high, just about normal.

PITTSBURGH—We received a wire
from one of our representatives on
the Pittsburgh market, that the tone
to the situation was not quite so good.
This wire came last Tuesday, but I
am aware that since that time the situ-
ation on the Pittsburgh market has
been fairly satisfactory, based on the
general situation throughout the mar-
ket centers. 1 know from sales that
were actually made and the inquiries
received from this market, that the
tone to the situation resulted inbeing

From Flag No. 3 we have grad-
“ ually worked around until this

week we think we have every
right to raise No.” 1. The condition
of the market, the tone to the situa-
tion, the demand—everything is there
but possibly a higher. price than we
are able to experience. There is a
limit to the price we can naturally
expect for this commodity, or any
other. The market right at the mo-
ment is well 11p to a normal expec-
tancy for cabbage.
winter at one time we touched a
point as high as $30.00 per ten, but
please appreciate that this is ' x-
treme ﬁgure and absolutely on of
line with any conservative expectancy.
The present market is really above a
normal basis, and the situation from
every. angle is healthy. 11' you are
going to make disposition of your cab-
bage this fall, before freezing, I would
certainly suggest your reviewing the
situation and determining what to do
very soon.

CINCINNATI.——The Cincinnati mar-

TURKEYS SCARCE.
NEW YORK—The Thanksgiving

market for 1912 bids fair to eclipse
all previous occasions as to the un-
certainty of the available supply; the
condition and extent of the growing
crop, and the proportion of the tur-
keys that will be ﬁt for market, The
weather has been unusually mild and
the absence of frost has permitted
vegetation to keep green as never be-
fore, attracting insects on which the
young turkeys feed, keeping them
away from the farm houses, which
greatly added to the difﬁculty of get-
ting a close estimate;

Reports, , which, cover the entire
poultry producing sections of the Mid-
dleWest, and also embraces Missouri
and the Southern States, including
Texas, Tennessee and Kentucky, as
well as Southern Indiana and South-
ern Illinois, state that the crop is gen-
erally 10@15 per cent lighter than a
year ago, and this is- especially true
in the Middle .West. The birds are

generally reported to be below the,

normal in size, as the extremely se
vere winter. which wasfollowed by a
Iatewet spring, delayed the hatch and
manyiof the early ﬂocks perished,
while the late hatch was generally

tout cutting the price he-

The cattle trade has shown several
surprises this week; although’ there
has been a liberal run, the sellers
have been in a position where they
could advance values. The supply at
Chicago has been exceedingly light.
and this has helped the situation else-
where. On stock ready for butcher-_
ing. the price has aVeraged more than
a dime above a week ago, and, best
of all. the demand has been sumcle‘n 3"

Many Canadian cattle are being re-

the buyers have shoved .prices down
in some instances to a level of about
a half dollar lower than last week.
