Farm Prices & Market Report Following are excerpts from the weekly market report of the Provincial Department of Agri- culture, prepared by Mr. W. R. Shaw, Deputy Minister. Livestock levels are still under a weakening process, and while hogs are steady at both Moncton and Charlottetown. sows are down 32.00 at Moncton and 33.00 at Charlottetown. A slide t in hog prices from a. high during the past year of 340.50 at Charlotte- town to a present price of S2500 for the same grade. and choice steers from 532.00-334.00 to a pre- sent price of s26.00, indicates I very serious contraction in the earning power of the farm pro- ducer. Pork cuts are now reasonably priced. and beef is down from five to ten cents per pound. In the meantime the price of fish has strengthened and haddock fillets are selling at we in com- parisou with -19c for pork chops. Dried cod has the extraordinary price tag of 40c per pound attach- cd to it. while ma-ckerel is 23c per pound. It. is interesting to note that the price of hides is very low on the market at the present time; 8c per pound is the local level. At Montreal this week cattle are slow with Medium Steers 25.00 to 27.00; Medium Cows 18.00 to 19.00; Common and Medium Bulls 18.00 to 22.00. Sheep are steady, and hogs are steady at 26.00 for Grade A; with Sows "Wiri,x'itoii..i sciioor. --W lcris. 1:u;mi't for month of January: AGradc IV-l. Rita Mccabe; tiriirie X-l.

The United States position has not been clarified to any extent. and 15y Fagaiy and Shorten '1'!-IE GUARDIAN. there is a good deal of confusion in the trade. Prices in many sections have not reached the ceiling and the Price Stabilisa- tion Office is undergoing unusual delay in making expected adjust- ments. The United States mar- ket is. as a matter of fact, some- what weaker, and while ship- ments to market have been fair- ly heavy there will likely be I dropping off and holding for im- provement in the March ceiling of ten cents. Potatoes have been pretty well cleared out of the Long Island area. and in view of the general situation it is rather surprising that Maine and New York potatoes are still coming into Canada in reasonably large quantities. Prices at Island points are now at. a competitive level with Am. erican importations. but the trade is dull although 104 cars were shipped in the last eight days as compared with less than 70 in the previous eight days, movement from the Province of New Brunswick and in Amermm stock. Strange to gay gt the present time P. E. I. potatoes do not seem to command a premium on ihc.Upper Canadian marketg, 4meT!CBn potatoes are coi-ninir in 1" WW pound paper, and this D3-Ckage seems to meet with con- siderable favour. At the present moment'there seems to be a de. mnnd in this field for 50's in pg. per packages. and it may be that dealers and producers here will have to readjust our practises if we are to successfully meet com. petition. The report stresses the import- ance of increased movement to P. E. f. markets. it is urgent that we meet the situation by moving our supplies in reason- There seems to be a consider-ablg ciiAiu.o'r'ra'i'owN ably good volume even though price may not be as high as have been anticipated earlier in the season. The following are the quota- tions at various centers today: Tignish: Tabiestock 31.80 per bus. at the car. Very light move- ment. There is no movement of seed and no quotations. O'Leary: Tableotock 31.80 per bus." at the car. Movement fair- ly good. No seed moving and no quotations. Wellington: Tablcstock 51.80 per bus. delivered. None shipped last week. Not buying seed at all. Sumn-ierside: Tablestock 81.80 per bus. deliuered. Slow move- ment. Seed 31.80 per bus. for all varieties. Very slow. Kinkora: Tablcstoci: 31.92 per bus. Seed sl.92 per bus. Move- ment a little better in both seed and tablestock. Kcnsington: Tablestock 31.80 per bus. Fairly good demand. Seed 31.80 per bus. for all variet- ies. Smalls 51.50 for Cobblers, Sebagoeo. and Katahdlns. Charlottetown: Tablestock and seed 3130 per bus. Movement in general is light. The market is still draggy due to American po- tatoes coming in. Montague: Tablesiock and Seed 31.80 per bus. at the farm. Noth- ing moving at all in either table- stock or seed. Vernon River: No markets in either seed or tablestock during the past week. Moreil: Nothing moving at all. Murray Harbour: Nothing mov- ing and no quota-tions. Ontario Breeding Hogs I have had an inquiry regard- ing an expected importation into this Province of about thirty- ....-.. - ..........us. live head of large English White Hogs for breeding purposes from the Province of Ontario. it in also statedlthat tliooo hogs are held up at the present time pend- ing their clearance from Rhinitis infection. Personally I know nothing about this supposed tn- formation, but I will tskoltbls op- portunity of sternly warning our rarm people about the indiscrim- lnate impohtation of hogs from any area in which Rhinitis may be prevalent. . . . I would earn- estly suggest to our farm peo- pie not to take in box: of any breed to this Province without first consulting with our Depart- ment or the Federal Swine Di- vision. In the meantime we would like to know of Iny organiza- tion or individual who has im- ported hogs into Prince Edward island for breeding purposes so that we may contact these parties for consultation purposes. Grain No. 1 seed oats is particularly difficult to secure in the Prov- iiice of Prince Edward Island. This is due to the fact of colour- ing and in some cases mustiness. No. 2 seed. however, should not be difficult to secure. There are IRFSC quantities of oats on Prince Edivard Island that are discol- ourcd. free from mustiness and injury, bill, if cleaned, will make good seed. it is suggested that each farmer investigate his own supply and provide at the earliest opportunity for the cleaning of his seed to be in readiness for the Spring sowing. Timothy seed is in fairly good supply and will be around the same price as last year. The same is true of Red C-lover with times, they betterod that mark by a price level perhaps a little less than last year. Alsike and Alf- alfa. however. will be up in the clouds as a great deal of the crap in Western Canada is under the snow. There is very little de- mand for hay and the price is not attractive. The Newfound- land market has been supplied from Quebec and there is little outlet in that direction. 516.00 and s1'1.00 per ton for pressed hay is simply, under present day costs. out of the question. The feed market continues quite firm, but prices have eas- ed considerably from the high . spar-HAP?!-'-liarvard sophomores Oakleigh Thoma. left, of , ,-l ford, N.Y., and Richard Mortimer, of New York City, bang owl! 1 each other during their 48-hour face-slapping marathon.
