There are very few cars of straight No. 5 Northern when-t being otfered. and what. are being offered would cost 38.09 1-2. Tough No. 5 Northern is quoted at w.00 I-2 and Tousci No. 0 North- ern at 32.051-2. Mill feed eon- tinuu hriaih with bran and shorts being quoted from 82.6! 1-2 to 32.65. Soybean meal is still very high and ollimeal at the present time is over 35.00 per cwt. Oat greats which is used in chick starter and pig starter has also increased in price and is now quoted at 35.00 per cwt. It would aprpeu that as soon as there is an increase in livestock prices the price of feed also takes an upward trend in the markets.

Movcment has been fa.ii-ly heavy d-u-ring iuhe past week but has slackcned off corisiderizibly the last few days as the seed potato quota to the U. S.

Growers are Advised not to rush ztici-r product on the market dur- ing the next week or so as a heavy movement may tend to depreu the market.
