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.
