Farm Prices 8i Market Report

Following are excerpts from the weekly marketing report prapued by Mr. W. R. Shaw, Deputy Min- ister of Agriculture:

It is very difficult to forecast the future in potato marketing. I would point out. however, that up, to the present moment we have exported from Prince Edward Is- land over 7,200 cars of potatoes. or this lot 1.842.000 bushels have been seed. most of which have gone in 26 ships from Island ports. ll ships from St. John's and Hal- ifax. and the balance by rail. Most of this seed has gone to the Uni- ted States. This quantity of seed would be approximately 2455 cars. Taloing this from the total of 7200 cars would leave about 4.745 cars exported as tablestcck, or about 1200 cars more to date than was shipped all together in the previous season's crop.

As far as we can estimate there should be about 2800 cars still to go forward to market if our esti- mates of production are correct. It might be interesting to know that from thisitime forward until the end of the shipping season in 1952 we exported over 2400 cars. Conse- 'quentiy the supplies on hand to be sold this year are not material- ly in advance of last year's ship- ments. Incidentally the shipments in February of this year, with a weakening market, are over dou- ble the shipments that went for- .ward last February. It was notl

that potatoes really began to move for the winter season. i

Of course. we must realize that conditions of supply were some- what different. There is some feeling in United States quarters that their last storage estimates were a tie too generous. and there is apossibility that a. re-ex- amination of storage stocks may take place. particularly in Maine If it is found that those stocksare

of supplies in most consuming cen- ters. and the market immediately: reacted upwards. After a short period it was decided to release further supplies, andljust as soon as this was done the market came

"back to a. normal level. There is

apparently, if one can depend on statistics, no shortage of butter in Canada, and current production is of a fairly favom-able nature. New Brunswick and Nova Scotia mar- kets are now down to the usual level of 64c for wholesale. and 66c for Jobbing. The price here is 65c for Jobbing.

Eggs ”And Poultry

The egg market continues firm with a keen demand for the pro- duct. All surplus stocks are mov- ing out readily to other Atlantic Provinces. Payiing prices have ad- vanced two cents on AL and AM and dealers are now quoting for ungraded eggs delivered: AL 42, AM 39, AS 28, B 28, C 20; and for the graded pack delivered AL 48-50, AM 45-46. As 34-35. B 35. C 20; and are quoting retailers loose AL bi. AM 48, AS 37. B 37-38, C 29; and retail to consumer prices AL 59-63, AM 56-57, AS 44-46, B 44-46. C 36.

Paying prices up from this date last year. Producers were receiv- ing for ungraded eggs on February 26th, 1952: AL 31. AM 28. As 24, B 24, C 20. Producers are now re- ceivlng eleven cents a dozen on AL and AM and four cents a dozen on AS Grade B, over prices paid a year ago.

Just a reminder. The market- ing of a high quality product should be the concern of all inter- ested im the poultry industry in this Province. Producers in the care and management of flocks- Station operators in the proper grading and packaging of the pro- duct. Dealers in operating an ef- ficient marketing service for the product. In other words if every- one concerned would do his or her little bit, ll. high quality product would be placed on the market at all seasons of the year - at the highest market values.

nounced earlier the reaction on the -market would be very favourable and prices could strengthen very mater-ialLy.

A further influence is the move- ment: of seed within the United States. Up to the present there has been very little sale. and it is anticipated that this movement will expand rapidly in March. This is a factor that could also have a direct relationship to market de- mand. In any event. looking into the future these two prospects give one a hope that the present dis- turbing situation may be cleared p. and a more healthy cciiolition in the market develop at a later date. We all sincerely trust that this may take place.

further advance. As local rec decline. dealers are depending m on arrivals from Ontario and Prince Edward Island to supple- ment stocks. and supply a steady demand. The quality has improv- ed considerably.

Apparently quite a deal has gone through between the Island Co-operative Services and Swift's by which the former organization has purchased the dairy. and poul- try business of the Swift Canadian Company in Charlottetown. From this time on the egg station'and poultry killing plant ion Fitzroy street will be in operation. This should provide an extensive serv- ice for egg and poultry producers throughrut the Province in as much as the t ntral organization will be connecting up with a large num- ber of Co-operatives throughout the Province. We trust that the advent of this new administrative set-up will be beneficial in im- proving the grade and quality of egg and poultry products in this Province.

Livestock

There is a good deal of specula-, tion regarding the effect of the opening of the American market supposedly at March 1st on cattle prices. At this time the support on beef will be removed. and for that matter it is practically re- moved now. The real price of beef in Canadian centers is oper- ating at ac to 4c per pound lower than the stated floor price. There is a feeling in some quarters that there may be a. two-way movement in beef when the Border opens. and a gradual levelling out of prices. This is a matter, however. that only time can decide.

During the week all livestock prices and quotations at Moncton and Charlottetown remained un- changed, with Grade A hogs at Moncton 28.00, and B 1's 27.60. At Charlot'tet.own f.o.b. country points Grade A's are 27.00 and B 1's 26.60 Steers are ranging from 20.50 for choice at Moncton down to-11.00 to 12.00 for Common, with Cows 7.50 up to 11.75. At Charlottetown steers range from 11.00 up to 20.00 with cows-Canners and Cutters 700 up to 12.00 for Good. While these prices have been set the market generally is just a little uncertain.

Feeds

There have been some advances in the grain market due to an em- bargo by the Wheat Board on coarse grains to the Head of the Lakes. This has been done in or- der to facilitate shipments of wheat for overseas on general trade. While prices have eased a little on grains in the last few days with oats Noel feed at s2.59. and barley at 52.88 bulk carlots, it would ap- pear as if in the long run prices will strengthen. Futures are up 'lc as a respit of external trade. Oat stocks are only half as large in volume at the Head of the Lakes as they were last year at the same time. Support prices on grains in the United States are at present higher than the floor price in Can- ada. while action by the Canadian authorities which bumped up the ieturns on wheat to Western growers will help to strengthen all their feeds. No. l wheat in sacks is now quoted at s3.4l for the car- lot, and reflects a strengthening
