PRODUCTS, PRICES AND TRADE. 
During 1913 the United States Steel 
Corporation turned out 16.800,000 tons 
of steel ingots, 14,000,000 tons of pig 
iron and 12,000,000 tons of rolled 
products. 
Shipments of grain from Baltimore 
were unusually heavy the past year, 48,- 
599,649 bushels, 15,000,000 more than the 
the previous year. 
The potato market is in a very uncer¬ 
tain condition, dealers being inclined to 
hold for higher prices on the probability 
of considerable damage by frost to ship¬ 
ments now on the way. 
The gold output in the Rand. South 
Africa, was 8.794,824 fine ounces, a de¬ 
crease of 329,465 over the previous year. 
Its value was about $185,000,000. 
The milk surplus has been somewhat 
reduced by the holding back of supplies 
by shippers with facilities for butter-mak¬ 
ing, but there is still considerable talk 
of a one-fourth cent reduction the last 
of this month. Cross prices of $1.81 to 
$1.91 for B and $1.61 to $1.71 for C 
cover a large part of the business. 
Movements of corn from Argentina to 
this country are growing rapidly. Since 
October nearly S.000.000 bushels have 
arrived at New York. Seven steamers 
are now on the way, bringing 42.000 
tons, and six more are unloading here. 
In large lots this corn is bringing 70 
cents at New York, underselling ship¬ 
ments from the West two cents per 
bushel. 
A project is under way for building a 
concrete road from Fond du Lae to Green , 
Bay, Wisconsin. The distance is 70 
miles and the estimated cost $1,000,000. 
The method aimed at is to get at least 
50,000 people along the Fox River valley 
as members of the road association. 
A further decline of two to three cents 
per pound on butter is noted. There 
are very few sales of choice creamery 
above 53*4 cents. 30 to 33 cents covering 
a large volume of the business. Trade 
in storage creamery is quiet, holders 
being unwilling to make a reduction pro¬ 
portionate to that on fresh stock. The 
drop in State dairy and factory is slight, 
as prices have held at a comparatively 
low level. 
Eggs of the better grades advanced 
slightly during the week, but there is a 
general feeling that a lower level will 
soon be reached, and buyers are stocking 
up as lightly as consistent with current 
needs. There are few sales of whites 
above 40 cents. 35 to 38 covers most 
of the business in good to prime grades. 
Storage eggs of the better grades go 
mostly at 29 to 31 cents. 
Along the Atlantic coast there are 
about 40 fish scrap factories, the greatest 
number being in the Chesapeake Bay 
region. The fish chiefly used is men¬ 
haden. nearly 900.000,000 being worked 
up into oil and fertilizer material an¬ 
nually. This is the oldest fertilizer in¬ 
dustry in this country, as the Indians 
in Connecticut used the fish iu their i 
corn culture. 
The IT. B. Olaflin Co., the largest dry 
goods concern of its class, reports net 
earnings for the year of $262,254.02, 
which gives a dividend of six per cent, 
on the common stock. The largest divi¬ 
dend on this stock since the company’s 
organization was nine per cent., in 1893. 
Some of the assets are: Merchandise, 
$5,821,748.52; store property, $2,739,- 
181.58; stables, wagons, autos, horses, 
etc., $96,884.73. The total capital stock 
is $9,000,000. 
During the two zero days of the past 
week very little business was done in 
apples and tender vegetables. The water 
front on both the New York and Jersey 
sides is a cold spot, and the combination 
of low temperature and high wind made 
it necessary to cart freezable produce to 
the store or warehouse as soon as un¬ 
loaded. Apple prices remain unchanged 
from last week, $3 to $4.50 covering most 
sales. 
The outlook in the raw wool market is 
improving, and there is some prospect of 
slightly higher prices. Manufacturers 
are finding a better outlet for their goods 
and hence are more interested in the 
raw material. Recent sales in Boston, 
which is the great wool market of this 
country, have shown the following prices: 
Fine staple, greasy, 18 to 18*4 ; half 
blood, 19 to 1914 ; Montana and Utah 
greasy, fine and medium, 16 to 17; West¬ 
ern, scoured, clothing grades. 45 to 47: 
New Zealand, crossbred, greasy. 24 to 28. 
Australian markets on the higher grades 
show an advance of about two per cent.

A teacher had lessons to an infants’ 
class on the Ten Commandments. “Can 
any little child give me a commandment 
with only four words in it?” she asked. 
A hand was raised immediately. “Well.” 
said the teacher. “Keep off the grass,” 
was the reply.—Credit Lost. 
Don’t Feed the Soil 
Feed the Plant 
In the top eight inches of average soil there 
is enough plant food in the form of nitrogen to 
last for 90 years, in phosphoric acid for 500 
years and in potash for 1000 years. 
And yet that very spot may prove barren. 
Plants have to take up their food in solution, in 
the “sap of the soil.” All this food may be 
locked up so tightly by nature that the plants 
can’t get at it fast enough for the commercial 
farmer, and he has to put in the same food in 
the soluble form of fertilizer. 
Just so, a fertilizer may, by analysis, have all 
the necestary elements and yet not give the 
plant full value because these elements are not 
ready soluble. 
Put into your ground a fertilizer that will feed not 
your already overstocked soil but your hungry crops with 
food which is available and easily absorbed. 
Bowker’s Fertilizers 
have chemically correct elements—there is a brand to fit 
every need. More than that, these chemicals are blended 
and mixed so that they are rendered water-soluble and 
go into your ground in the most available form. Most 
crops do most of their feeding in 60 days.

years of experience. In writing, state what your crops are.
