Past Week Market
Prices Reviewed
Feed markets were unsettled dur
ing the week ended May 19, as values
were adjusted to price ceiling which
became fully effective May 18, ac
cording to the U. S and North Caro
lina Departments of Agriculture in
the Weekly Market News Service
Review.
The index number of wholesale
feedstuff prices remained unchang
ed at 18.50. Wheatfeeds, however, ad
vanced to the full ceiling limits while
oilseed cakes and meals declined
moderately to levels well below the
March maximum. The demand for
limited quantities of wheatfeeds
available for immediate shipment
was urgent but improved pastures
tended to reduce consumption of
high protein concentrates.
The nominal market for farmers'
stock peanuts in North Carolina and
Virginia is weaker but practically
no farmers' stock has been bought
during the past week as holders are
asking prices higher than mills are
willing to pay. Shelled and cleaned
peanuts are also weaker and in a
light demand as large buyers are
limiting purchases, pending further
information regarding the effect of
the overlal price ceiling of shelled
and cleaned peanuts and peanut
products. Meanwhile, the Carolina
and Virginia new crop is approxi
mately one-half planted.
In Chicago hog and cattle prieee
were not measurably changed from

75 cents to $1 and fat sheep strong
to 25 cents higher, following sharp
ly curtailed supplies. In contrast, hog
values gained 10 to 15 cents on the
Carolina and Virginia markets dur
ing the period. The close top stood
at 213.25 in Rocky Mount; $13.30 in
Clinton, Fayetteville, Florence and
Lumberton and $13.50 in Richmond.
With a 12 per cent seasonal gain
for the week ending May 14, pro
duction of creamery butter record
ed the greatest weekly change shown
in the two and one-half years such
reports have been available. Late in
the period 92 score butter wholesal
ed at 37 cents per pound in New
York in contrast to 37 cents a week
ago.
Supplies of Tar Heel lettuce, peas,
strawberries, sweet potatoes and tur
nips decreased but beets, cabbage,
snap beans and squash gained in vol
ume when compared with last week.
Wholesale prices in New York were
mixed. At the close prices of beets,
cabbage, strawberries and turnips
were slightly weaker but values of
snap beans, squash and sweet pota
toes were slightly higher.
Cotton prices declined 2.0t? a bale
for the week. Prices of other com
modiites were lower and securities
were higher. The volume of sales of
spot cotton in the 10 markets was
about the same as in the previous
week but substantially smaller than

To The Voters Of
Martin County:
I beg to advise thatjl filed as a can
didate for the office of judge of the
Recorders Court, for Martin County,
at the request of many of my friends
and county officers and for the fur
ther reason that I am willing to per
form my share of the public duties,
and if the people of this county wish
to trust me to do the work I shall
be glad to serve them, notwithstand
ing the fact that the office will not
greatly help me financially. I can't
afford, under the circumstances, to
use my automobile traveling over
the county in an active campaign
and I wish the people to understand
that I will greatly appreciate their
confidence if they wish to trust me.
I do not appreciate those who try to
buy the support of their constituen

intelligent and I trust their good
judgment in making choice.
Sincerely,
