MARKET AWAITS WOOL CLIP 
W ITH the domestic wool-clip shortly 
to come into the market, it is not 
surprising to see the general tone of 
the raw-wool market somewhat unset¬ 
tled. Active consumption of wool in 
this country and abroad has stimulated 
the market for weeks, although the 
large turnover of stocks recently has 
weakened prices on foreign markets. 
The general view, however, is one of 
potential demand, and trade gossip on 
a large American clip now at hand 
does not indicate that prices should 
ease off except temporarily during the 
spring season. Country-point informa¬ 
tion, particularly from the West, states 
that contrasting on this season’s fleeces 
is widespread, but only upon a small 
proportion of the production in most 
of the wool-producing sections. In mid- 
March, the feeling was generally one 
of quiet optimism on the 1923 clip. 
POTATO MARKET ACTIVE 
An exdted potato market developed 
due to car shortage, bad roads and 
light stocks in the city markets. Prices 
jumped from $2.25 per 150-lb. sack de- 
high as 45 to 47c. It has been many 
years since brown eggs sold for more 
than whites on the New York market, 
as they did last week. 
At this time last year the egg mar¬ 
ket was very weak, and extra fancy 
nearby whites were quoted at only 
33 to 36c, with fancy hennery browns 
at 26 to 27c. 
DRISSED POULTRY OUTLOOK 
From January 1 up to March 7 re¬ 
ceipts of dressed poultry in the four 
largest markets were 69,973,874 lbs., 
compared with 40,504,094 lbs. in the 
same period last year. The amount of 
dressed poultry on hand in the four 
largest markets on March 7 was over 
17,000,000 lbs. in excess of the quantity 
on hand at the same time last year. It 
is reported that the quantity of poultry 
on farms this year is much larger than 
a year ago, which will probably result 
in larger shipments of fresh poultry. 
The peak of the storage holdings was 
reached last year about the middle of 
January, but this year stocks contin¬ 
ued to pile up in storage until Febru¬ 
ary 10, when the peak was reached.

livered New York City to $2.60. Some 
shippers quoted as high as $2.90 in 
C31*lotjS 
In the yards, States sold from $2.50 
to $3 per 150-lb. sack, depending upon 
quality and condition. Arrivals were 
light. It is the general opinion that if 
the car shortage continues and the 
hauling is bad, prices will hold steady. 
APPLES HOLD STEADY 
At this time last year best A grade 
Baldwins were selling wholesale at 
$7.60 to $7.76, compared with $6.25 per 
hbl. last week. Greenings, best, A 
grade, last year at this time brought 
$11 to $11.50, compared with $5 to 
$5.25 now. Carlot shipments of bar¬ 
reled apples in entire country to March 
3 were 67,605, compared with 29,020 
last year to that date. 
EGG MARKET UNSETTLED 
Cold weather and storms delayed the 
normal seasonal increase of shipments 
of eggs last week, and receipts at New 
York were actually lower than the 
previous week. This resulted in hold¬ 
ing prices up, and for several days 
Western brown and mixed-color eggs 
were so scarce that many sales of them 
were made above quotations. Because 
of the heavier shioments now in tran¬ 
sit, the break will undoubtedly come 
before you read this page. Many in 
the market believe that prices will hold 
up fairly well till after April 1, how¬ 
ever, because of the early Easter and 
the Jewish Passover demand. 
Nearby white eggs showed some in¬ 
crease in volume, but moved fairly 
well. Most State eggs sold around 41 
to 43i^c, hut finest Jerseys went as 
receipts per lb., choice, sold at 18c; 
prime, 16 @ 17c; good, 14 @ 15c; me¬ 
dium, 11 @ 13c; small or common, 6 @ 
10c; hind saddles, with skins, 16 (® 
20c; without skins, 18 @ 22c. 
FEED PRICES CHANGE SLIGHTLY 
The Buffalo feed market was dull last 
week, with slight declines in a number 
of commodities. Prices on carlots f. o. b. 
Buffalo in 100-lb. sacks March 7. were; 
Gluten feed, $46.56 ; cottonseed meal, 36 
per cent, $47.25 ; oil meal, 33 to 34 per cent, 
$49 ; standard spring bran, $34.75 ; hard 
■winter bran, $35.75 ; standard spring middlings, 
$34."75 ; choice flour middlings, $36.25. 
LOWER GRADE HAY DECLINES 
Receipts of hay considerably in¬ 
creased last week, but most of the ship¬ 
ments from New York State were 
under grade. Prices declined to a mod¬ 
erate extent on these undergrades, but 
top grades are still comparatively 
scarce. 
Railroads have issued more permits, 
and unless weather conditions in the 
country hold up the movement, the 
New York market will be well supplied 
within the next two weeks. 
Since February 10 the withdrawals 
have not been sufficient to reduce the 
excess over last year. 
It is encouraging, however, that the 
consumption of poultry seems to have 
considerably increased, and there is 
some demand for our poultry m British 
Live broilers have been arriving in 
small lots from Long Island, Pennsyl¬ 
vania, Boston and Virginia. 
BUTTER OUTLOOK GOOD 
Owing to heavier receipts, prices de¬ 
clined last week, but on March 8 the 
market closed firmer owing to informa¬ 
tion that new arrivals were falling off 
a» -] increased buying on the part of 
chain stores and other large organi¬ 
zations. 
At this time last year, creamery 
extras sold wholesale at 37 to 37140, 
compaTed with 47c per lb. on March 8 
this year. 
CASH GRAIN QUOTATIONS 
The following were cash grain prices 
at New York March 9:

2 mixed corn, 91 %c; No. 2 white oats, 5bc ;

CHOICE DRESSED CALVES SCARCE 
Supplies of country-dressed calves 
increased last week, and double re¬ 
ceipts are expected from now on. 
Fresh, choice calves are scarce and in 
demand, but trade for ordinary grades 
is only moderate. Stall calves sold at 
irregular prices. On March 8 fresh 
MINERALIZED WAUR 
ROUTS CHICKEN LICE 
Tablets Dropped Into Drinking Fount* 
Banish Vermin, Make Fowls Grow 
Faster and Increase Egg Yield 
Any poultry raiser can easily rid his flock 
of lice and mites, make chickens grow faster 
and increase their egg yield by simply add¬ 
ing minerals to the fowls’ drinking water. 
This does away with ,all bother, such as dust¬ 
ing, greasing, dipping and spraying. The 
necessary minerals can now be obtained in 
convenient tablets, known as Paratabs. Soon 
after the fowls drink the mineralized water, 
all lice and mites leave them, 'riic tablets 
also act as a tonic conditioner. The health 
of the fowls quickly improves, they grow 
faster and the egg yield frequently is doubled. 
Little chicks that drink freely of the water 
never will be bothered by mites or lice. 
The method is especially recommended for 
raisers of purebred stock, as there is no risk 
of soiling the plumage. The tablets are war¬ 
ranted to impart no flavor or odor to the eggs 
and meat. This remarkable conditioner, egg 
tonic and lice remedy costs only a trifle and is 
sold under an absolute guarantee. Th^ tablets 
are scientifically prepared, perfectly shfe, and 
dissolve readily in water. 
Any reader of this paper may try them 
without risk. The laboratories producing 
Paratabs are so confident of good results that 
to introduce them to every poultry raiser they 
offer two big $1 packages for only $1. Send 
no money, just your name and address —a card 
will do — to the Paratab Laboratories, Dept. 
889, 1100 Coca Cola Bldg., Kansas City, Mo., 
and the two $l packages, enough for 100 gal¬ 
lons of water, will he mailed. Pay the post¬ 
man $1 and postage on delivery, and if yen 
are not delighted with results in 10 days—if 
your chickens are not healthier, laying more 
eggs and entirely free from lice and mites-- 
your money will be promptly refunded. Don t 
hesitate to accept this trial offer as you are 
fully protected by this guarantee.
