Present Prices of Farm Products Afford Profit Moderate Optimism Prevails! in Agricultural Industry, Dc >pite Uncertainty of Euro pean Markets. Washington, March 6.—(Special.)-- j ' Moderate optimism prevails in the . grirultural industry, despite the un > rrtalnty of European markets to buy American farm products." says the I ailed States Department of Agricul ture, in its monthly agricultural re-| view published today. "The south is optimistic and plainly ! intends to plant more cotton. The corn belt apparently thinks rather bet- , tor of corn than it did a year ago. , but finds some difficulty in making up • its mind about hogs. The range •■•ounty is outspokenly for sheep, but i saying little* about cattle. "Prices of agricultural products are 1 regarded as high enough to maintain production of most of the important products, with the possible exception of potatoes. "The south looms largo in the whole I agricultural situation. It continental! Europe materially cuts down pur- | • bases of our wheat and pork this year, cotton may become something of a key crop. Well-informed men consider that an- i other billion dollar cash crop in the • aottonbelt would go a long way to off set a. failing European market for wheat and meal. In general, crop prices are non rel.t lively higher Ilian livestock prices, due partly to the present price of cot ton. Eggs and butter are the only products showing a price decline for the month, but this is usual at the . eason. prices of commodities other than food that farmers buy also ad \anced so that the January general in dex of purchasing power of farm prod ucts in terms of other eompiodities as worked out by the department stood unchanged at 68. A feature of the agricultural situa tion in January was an increase in the marketward movement from farms of corn. hogs, and rattle, where as shipments usually fall off slightly as compared with December. Stocks of eggs in cold storage February 1 were only slightly more than the av erage on that date in preceding years, the tremendous surplus of cold stor age eggs at the beginning of the sea son having been almost totally con sumed.
