pounds more than in the previous year when marketings were nor- msl. January receipts dropped lhlmly. and the quantity of pork for consuming centers was strict- ly limited. Some 12 million pounds of pork were released from the Support Board supplies to the care oftcurrent needs. As a. result prides strengthened. The eventual price of hogs will be hitched; to some extent. to United States prices with the opening of the border.

The immediate market levels, and the substantial holdings oi frozen pork cuts and canned pork now in Government hands, and which must eventually be 1ibuldat- ed. may have a decisive influence on eventual market trends. Ac- cording to available figures there are 37 or 88 million pounds of hog products in Board storage, and upwards of 80 million pounds of Canned pork still to be disposed The floor price on hogs will continue until further notice. al- though there does not seem to be at the moment any reasonable sug- gestion for its use.

Eggs and Poultry

The egg market retains a firm tone with prices advancing. De- mand ls strong and equal to or slightly in excess of supplies. All surplus stocks are moving out read- ily to other Atlantic Provinces. Production is steadily increasing. Hatcheries are new setting in a much heavier volume resulting in a decrease in receipts from some areas. Quality generally is fair to good. Paying prices have ad- vanced four to five cents on AL and AM from previous report. and deal- ers are now quoting for ungraded eggs delivered; AL 43-44, AM 40. AS 28, B 27-28, C 20. And are quoting for the graded pack deliv- ered: AL 51, AM 48, AS 35, B 35. C 25-27. And are quoting retail- ers loose: AL 53-55, AM 51-52, B 30-39, C 29, four cents up in car- tons.

This egg market remains steady. Local receipts have dropped off, due in part-to increased hatchery settings. Dealers are supplement- ing stocks with the odd car from Ontario and smaller shipments from Oiitarlo. Current supplies are about equal to demand which continues good at both the whole- sale and retail level.

No change is reported on the

dressed poultry market. receipts are moderate, but consist mostly of fowl. Demand is satisfactory. Sydney market. comments: Egg prices on this market have slightly declined, origin 90 per cent Prince Edward Island, balance Nova Scotia. Receipts of Grade A Large are sufficient to meet re- quiremerits with other grades off the market. The'deniand is good. Dairying

Canadian receipts of milk and cream were unusually large in December and January. This was no doubt due to air increase in dairy cattle. and a large number of Fall frmheiiers. These were about 9 per cent above the previous Dc- cember. The high level of receipts has not embarrassed the butter market, but may have contributed to the reduction in prices of spray- process milk powder. Cheese, too, has not been effected, and prices have strengthened in January. the rise being about 1 per cent on Ontario exchanges. Stocks of rol- ler butter at February 1st were about 1 million pounds greater than they were at the same date last year. but spray powder stocks were Spray prices were about 6c per pound higher than roller last summer, but are now only 3c higher.

ties are now restricted to United States markets. United states prices for Canadian chose and but- termilk powder, both under re- striction in United States markets. have been reduced to the point where it would be unrprofitable to export them from this country. Current conditions do not support 9. III mpletely , ' ic View of the future dairy situation. The high production in the United States. the large quantities taken over by the Government under price sup- port. and other factors, have a tendency to strengthen rather then release import restrictions. There is no charge in Maritime markets since last week. ' Potatoes

Potato movement from this Prov- ince has been fair during the past week with 154 carloads being ship- ped. The market seems to have at last become stabilized, and it would appear that farmers are not pre- pared to accept any lower prices than are now being quoted. De- mand is somewhat better and it is expected that a substantial seed movement will begin within the next ten days. .

Information available indicates that the new crop in both Cali- fornia and Florida will be later than was expected. There has been some frost damage in Cali- fornia while in Florida the weath- er has been too cold and damp for rapid growth. It would now seem that it will be the latter part of April before heavy shipments of potatoes will be available from these States.

The following are the details at Island points as secured today:

Tignish: Movement slow. A few cars tablestock inoving- at 51.00 a

bag (75 lbs). No seed moved dur- ing past week. O'Lca.ry: Fair movement in

tablestock in packages. Good de- mand at we a bus. No seed mov-
