CABBAGE IS
STILL AT $12
~ --
Craggy Market With
Bad Weather Is
Blamed
A drwggy market, due to unfavor
able weather conditions In the
north, lias lield cabbage at $12 per
ton the past week, with Indications *
of general Improvement in market
conditions early next week.
A re-survey of cabbage tonnage,
ordered by the federal department,'
Is expected to disclose that due to
weather conditions the cabbage
crop in all early producing sections *
will fall short of the February 1 es-;
timate. Many Valley shippers are 1
urging growers to hold cabbage, as
serting that the tonnage outlook
does not warrant a price of less
than $20 per ton to the grower.
Carrots also maintained a steady
price throughout the week at 30 to
35 cents per bushel hamper in the I
field. The demand has been heavy,
and market reports indicate no de
crease in demand or price.
Beets have ranged from 15 to 20
certs per hamper in the field, with
a light demand, but a strengthen
ing of the market is predicted.
Turnips have brought growers
very profitable prices, ranging
around 13 cenu per dozen bunches I
of four, and the demand is holding
steady with indications of better
prices when weather conditions in
the north become more lavorable.
The acreage of turnips is compara
tively small, all shipments moving
out in mixed cars.
Spinach, which was dragging
prior to the cold weather of Febru
ary 9 and 10. which damaged the
crop in the Winter Garden section,
has held at 10 cents per hamper in
the field the past week. The Win
ter Garden is expected to show
stronger in the deal next week, in
dicating no increase in price or de
mand.
Saturday weather reports from
the nortli were more favorable than
at any time during the week, and
was reflected in increased inquiry
for all lines of fresh vegetables.
Shippers were expressing more op
timism. with the prediction that
the retail trade, which Friday end
Saturday showed renewed activity,
would be reflected in better quota
tions next week.
Early bean shipments will start
next week, and the first early pota
toes are expected to move Friday or
Saturday, with carloads moving
about March 10.

RAILMERGER
ACT REPORTED
Bill Will Facilitate
Consoldiation of
Railways
WASHINGTON. Feb. 23.—(/Pr—
Legislation to facilitate widespread
railroad consolidation was reported
favorably to the senate today at the
end of a week during which some
of the country's most important
rail interests have advanced specif
ic plans in the same field to the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Senator Fess. republican, Ohio,
acting for the majority of the sen
ate interstate commerce committee,
presented a consolidation bill with
an explanation of its purpose and
the statute modifications it contem
plates
Though the text of the measure
made no reference to the individual
consolidations pending, its terms
have Intimate association with the
enterprises now launched which
look to creation of giant rail mer
gers. some of them planned on a
scale looking to the fusion of 15 or
20 sizable transportation systems in
one management unit.
The latest and perhaps the lar
gest of these proposals were sub
mitted to the Interstate Commerce
Commission only three days ago,
one by the Baltimore and Ohio Sys
tem, which asked approval for the
acquisition of nearly 8.000 miles of
additional line. The other consol
idation proposal was submitted by
the Van Sweringen interests of
Cleveland, who asked the right to
build out of rail properties they
now control and others they hope
to buv. a new eastern trunk line
with 14,000 miles of track.
Though these projects affect only
the northeastern quarter of the
country, there is awaiting the com
mission’s final word the provision
ally completed merger of the North
ern Pacific and Great Northern sys
tems. in the northwest, whose joint
control of the Burlington System,
reaching southward to the Mexican
gulf, would put 25.000 miles of road
in a single merger.
The bill repeats the sanction of
former statutes even for the consol
idation of “parallel and competing
railroads,” which was once forbid
den by anti-trust legislation.
In nine years little consolidation
has gone through.
The program of L. F. Loree. for
merging the Kansas City Southern,
Mlssouri-Kansas-Texas. and St.
Louis Southwestern, met with flat
re lection from the commission, as
did the proposal of the Norfolk and
Western to lease the Virginia sys
tem.

COTTON MAKES
^ADVANCE
Activity Is Shown In
Market Despite
Short Day
NEW ORLEANS. Feb. 23.—(/P)—
Despite the short Saturday session
and the fact that New York re
mained closed, the cotton market
here was quite active today and
prices advanced practically 50 cents
a bale from the previous close.
Strong Liverpool cables and reports
stopping of March notices were the
main supporting influences and
March contracts after reacting
from 1930 to 19.20 rallied and
closed at 19.27. or 7 points net
higher. The general market closed
steady at net advances of 7 to a
points.
Liverpool cables were 7 to 11
points higher than due and '.-ere
reflected in opening gains of 9 to
10 points here. March sold at
19.30, May 19.49 and July 19.58.
Some selling followed reports that
notices for delivery of 15.000 bales
of March cotton had been Issued
and on the subsequent drop March
traded to 19.20. or 10 points under
the highs and parallel with the
Jrevious close. May eased off only
points to 19.43.
A good demand developed at the
23-point difference in prices be
tween the months, probably in
duced by reports of the prompt
stoppage of the notices. May con
tracts rallied to a new high at
19.60 or 10 points above the pre
vious close.
The market ruled steady during
the final trading due to shorts cov
ering and final prices were within
a few points of the best with May
at 19.48 and Julv 19.57.

The prediction that western and

shippers and rate men. who assert
that the recent decision of the In

According to the dec'Mon of the

the reduction ranging from 23 09

commission unon its own motion
and some of the evidence brought
to light in the investigation and
suhseonent hearings was ©f a sen

WHEAT MART '
PRICES DOWN
_
General Selling Of
Crop Is Cause of
Decline
CHICAQO, Feb. 23.—(JF>—General
selling of wheat today carried prices
down, and doubt apparently increas
ci that domestic winter crop dam
age will turn out to be of unusual
extent. On the other hand, demand
for flour to be shipped to the Orient
was said to be enormous.
Closing quotations on wheat were
unsettled. 1-4 cent to 5-8 cent net
lower, with corn at the same as yes
terday's finish to 1-2 cent off. oats
showing 1-8 cent to 3-8 cent de
cline. and provisions unchanged to
a rise of 32 cents.
Wheat values received their inl
ti.1 downward impulse today large
lv fr?m the fact tha. Liverpool and
Winnipeg quotations had dropped
yesterday while American markets
were closed. This action was asso
ciated with reports that large quan
tities of unsold Argentine wheat that
was afloat en route to Europe were
pressing for an outlet.
Sellers of wheat here placed much \
stress on Kansas dispatches assert-!
ing the winter crop in the principal i
wheat producing area of Kansas,.
the banner wheat st j of the coun
try. appears to be in good condition.
Considerable buying of wheat fu
ture deliveries developed today to
ward the last, after word carae from
London telling of demand on a
huge sc ile for flour to go to the
Orient. There were also reports
about need of rain for Australia and
of continued purchr .:s rf wheat to
satisfy the w*ant of India. Late
rallies, nevertheless, failed to over
come earlier losses here and export
call 'ir wheat from North America
was again of disappointing volume..

MID-WESTERN REVIEW
KANSAS CITY. Feb. 23 T*_
<U. S. D. A I—Livestock trade dur
ing the week under review around
the 11-market circuit was featured
by a sharp reaction on cattle with
trade the most active In several
weeks. Continued light receipts and
an Improved tone in the dressed
beef market were the strengthening
factors. Killing classes at most
'oints are closing unevenly Maher
; with maximum gains of 50075c. A
I decidedly weak undertone developed
at Chicago late in the week on fed
steers and yearlings and most of the
early advance was erased. Stocker
and feeder trade was slightly more
active but the inclement weather
continues to reduce country pur
chases. Stockers ruled steady to
slightly higher while moderate to
sharp upturns were effected on
feedrs. Aggregate receipts were
around 148.300 a decrease of 2.000
from last week and 24.000 short of
the same period a year ago.
Hogs soared to new high price
levels for the year and current val
ues at most centers rest at the
week’s high points. A general ad
vance of 50075 was obtained with
a lote top of $10.95 at both St. Lou
is and Chicago. Total offerings
were around 588.200 against 706.
894 last week and 803.757 a year ago.
After opening at weak to lower
prices fat lambs rallied and the
week’s early loss was more than re
covered at most markets. Chicago
closed with a net advance of 350
50c while firm to slightly higher
prices were In order at other cen
ters. Fat ewes were unevenly stea
dy to 25c lower. The supple approx
imated 254.150 a decrease of 36.500
from last week and 25,000 less than
the same a year ago.

STOCK MARKET
HAS VACATION
Offices Closed Tight
As Workers Enjoy
Three-Day Rest
NEW YORK. Feb. 23.—0P>—The
entire machinery of the stock mar
ket rested today. The Saturday
closing two weeks ago, and those
of last spring, were for the purpose
of catching up with back business,
and commission house and invest
ment bankers officers hummed with
activity as usual. But today, not
only was the stock exchange closed,
but member officers were closed al
so, and it was a holiday for clerks
as well as floor traders.
The banks were open for the us
ual half day, but as all securltlaa
markets, and all of the commodity
markets with the exception of wheat,
followed the stock exchange's ex
ample in taking a three-day holiday
from Washington s birthday to Mon
day, Wall street wore a Sunday as
pect. Many of the shops and res
taurants of the flnancialt district
had decided that business would MOC
warrant staying open.
Much of the gloom that pervaded
speculative sentiment when the
stock exchange was closed two weeks
ago. while the Federal Reserve
boards warning against excess use
of credit for speculation was fresh,
had been lifted by today, and trad
ers enjoyed their holiday in a more
peaceful frame of mind. The drop
In stock prices appeared to have
been checked. The volume cf busi
ness fell off during the week to the
3.000,000 share day average, and
with business in reduced volume,
traders hope price levels may be
maintained until the credit atmos
phere clears.
The credit outlook for the next
few weeks was not regarded as
cheerful. Next week the month end
money strain will be felt, and soon
thereafter* will occur the shifting of
balances Incident to the March 15
income tax payments, and new
treasury financing, the treasury will
issue new short term notes to re
trace the (570.000.000 in 3 3-8 and
3 7-8 per cent notes that mature on
that date. With the aensltlvness
of the call money market. Intensi
fied by the Federal Reserve policy
of curtailing credit, the call loan
rate shot up to 10 per cent on Feb.
15. and credit requirements
were light compared to what
will be March 15.
