is more than the market can absorb, this oil or these oils and fats 

 will affect and be affected by the supply and demand for other oils 

 for other uses. Since the soap kettle is the principal consumer of 

 oils and fats, it is probably one of the important, if not the most im- 

 portant, factors affecting the general market situation for these com- 

 modities. If an oil or fat is especially desired for some particular use 

 and is commanding a higher price for that use than it would com- 

 mand for soap manufacture, and cannot find a market for this higher 

 priced use, it will gravitate to the market for soap m.anufacture. 



This is just one example of how the possible and actual interchange- 

 ability of the uses of various oils and fats can and does affect markets 

 and prices for each and every type of oils and fats under conditions 

 of a world surplus and a domestic surplus of oils and fats.
