THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER 394 (54) Old Fashion Methods IN CHURNING Cannot be " equaled. , for ' that reason we have built The Peco Reliable Churn on the same principles of the old stick dasher motion which has produced the best results in churning for nast Generations. We- have adopted the stick and dasher principle to a rotary motion, thereby saving; one-nan to two-imras urnc rcijuircu ujr the old methods. The Peco Reliable Churn Is Absolutely Sanitary The crock can easily be scalded and put out in the sun to dry, while the old wooden churn when thoroughly dry, would leak or fall to pieces. . . The Peco Reliable Churn can be operated either by hand or motor power, furnished from farm lighting plant or city service.

Crop a i and Market News The Cotton Market Situation; THE cotton market has been recerit- ly; in a state q suspended- anima tion. Futures ' have fluctuated a good deal, one way or the other, but -mainly in v the downward direction. ' Spots have been inactive, without substan tial change in quotations. - The de mand for the time being is chilled, and. coiild only operate at concessions in 'the; pricei-hile;rhlders;:prce wait. : i'jP vrr,;'::V-ci)'''irIv'; .The t rouble comes from'the furth r demoralization', in - foreign J exchange. Recently:, there has Maeen renewed weakness, and rates have fallen ; to levels which, wduld have been deemed incredible a f ew ; months . ago." Ex change has become so, unsettledthat some regular dealers have . refused to buy jthe . bills,;; talcing them pfily for collection." The exporter" in such cases would have to speculate on the exchange, and would be liable to be ruined on a single shipment, if he was not very strong financially. In any event he would be liable to incur a loss altogether out of proportion to his commission on the shipment It is readily se'en how such a state of things must interfere with the export trade, but so far there are still some big bankers that will buy the ex change as usual.. Of course if the ex porter took the chance on the ex change, he would also stand a chance of a big profit ;-but this the conserva tive exporter is reluctant to do, cer tainly not on a large scaled Conditions seem chaotic in Europe. To extricate themseives, it appears that there is :only one thing for the people to do, and that is to get to work and produce wealth. To do this, raw materials are necessary, and cotton is one of the leading prime es sentials. That normal conditions will be restored in time there can be no -reasonable doubt ; but with, this restoration we must expect also de flation in prices attendant On the in-, crease in general production. . With regard to cotton it seems that mills have sold their output far ahead at prices which amply warrant the pay ing of current values for cotton. Therefore, we can afford to ;: await the passing of these paroxysms of weaiaiess. W. l. WILLIAM a. Savannah, Ga. : steady , with " Wisconsin, ' Michigan and Min. nesota,.

DEPORTS from the leading North Carolina peanut producers centers indicate that growers are being offered locally 89c per pound; for Virginias and $33.40 per bu for Spanish. 'There- is a strong tendency to hold for 10c. Only a very small percentage of the , crop remains in the hands of the growers at their loading points although : ' some have stored their stock in Suffolk warehouses. A limited quantity of good seed ' stock can still be purchased direct from the growers. ' The Peanut Market Situation QFFICIAL figures just made public by the v Department of Commerce indicate that the Chinese peanut crop is no larger than last year, and about 44 per cent off in quality. Tnis will strengthen the growers in their homing movement, despite the fact that the trade is buying very slowly. The continued effort to bear the market, on the strength ot the foreign situation has well nigh run its . course, and increased prices seem near. The . better demand for shelled goods is erad. ually narrowing the differential between shelling stock and Jumbos; White Spanish, as the supply nears exhaustion, are going still higher.. . . . . J.

PRICES OF BUTTER, EGOS, POULTRY AND HOGS Monthly Review of North Carolina Producers Prices (Issued -by the Division of Markets of the JSlorth Carolina Agricultural Extension Ser vice, Raleigh, N. C) " ' Cotton Market ' ? " THE month closes with the cotton market rather dull, and with little change from the. week previous. The demand for bet ter grades still continues good, with very little demand for the lower erades. The pro ducers show no inclination to sacrifice their lower grades at these prices, as they realize the better grades are scarce, and nothing would be gained by pressing the lower grades . at this time. ' Following are given quotations for middling cotton on Jan. 31. at a few of the different. designated spot markets over the belt; New Orleans. 39.88c: Savannah. 39.50c; Galveston, 42.25c ; Norfolk, 39.00c; Memphis, 40.50c; Lit tie KOCk, 39.50C. Cowpeas and Soy Beans Much Higher POWPEAS are exceedingly scarce and in tin usually great demand. Growers have ap parently sold what few they had and only a very limited quantity remains in the hands of. the dealers. Prices have increased stead ily, good seed now bringing $5.75 to $6 under united supply and heavy 'demand. u ' The crreat shortage of seed cowpeas has increased largely the demand for soy. bean seed. The anticipated $4 level has Deen reached and. Dassed. and best seed stock is now under heavy demand at $4.50-4.75. Only very limited-offerings remain unsold. : Apple Market Slow and Draggy APPLES continue weak with movement stock are decreasing. New York Baldwins A 2V inch ranged $7.50$8.50 per barrel in most consuming markets, and Northwestern Wine- saps were bringing $2.503.50 per box m lead ing Eastern jobbing markets.
