NEW YORK. Sept. 23- UP —Cotton
prices faltered after rising to the high-
est levels in three weeks on the de-
ferred deliveries, and ended the week
with small net changes either way., .
At Friday’s close the list ruled 5
points lower to 6 points higher than the
close of the preceding Saturday.
Buoyancy of the 1945 deliveries stem-
med directly from the proposals of
farm state legislators to hike the price

gave prices an additional lift.
Price lifting proposals advanced by
southern state representatives included
—1. Government purchases of all 1944

ing a slow start, although activities
continued to be hampered in some dis
tricts because of labor shortages.
Mill demand for spot cotton contin-
ued disappointing, although a spotty
improvement was noted in some areas.
Carolina and other southeastern mills
bought fair amounts of local cotton at
gins and warehouses, but overall de-
mand remained small. Carolina pro-
curers sold between 40 and 30 per cent
of current ginnings, with about 30 per
cent disposed of in Georgia and Ala- |

to choice kinds sold from 810 to
511 in Wichita. In Oklahoma City,
calves sold from 812 down. Late
in the. week, cows also turned
downward at several points, but
closed very strong at San Antonio.
Steers were in extremely light sup-
ply at steady to slightly lower ____________________

Hogs continued their active steady
trend, with most markets still re-
porting celling prices on the bulk
of offerings. Top butchers closed
the week in Fort Worth at $14.55,
Oklahoma City and Wichita $14.45
per ett. San Antonio still had a
rather slow demand, but prices held
steady at last week's downturn, and
the top was $14. Stocker pigs
moved upward at both Fort Worth
and Oklahoma City as a result of
scarce offerings.
Sheep and lamb markets were
irregular, but springers generally
were weak while ewes held steady
to unevenly higher. Heavy market-
ward movement of light weight
feeder lambs has caused supplies
to accumulate at some midwestern
markets with a very poor outlet
from buyers who are awaiting more
definite developments in the feed
and pasture situation. The wool
market continued very slow.
Egg and poultry markets were
steady to firm under a fairly good
demand. Improvement in the
quality of egg receipts brought in-
creased returns to the fanner
Current receipt* ranged from 33 to
35 cents a dozen at the principal
southwestern markets, with pur-
chases made mostly on a loss-out
basis Heavy hens brought 30 to
33 cents s pound Dealers in Dallas
and Fort Worth paid 33 to 33 1-3

agent, s says the cattle and sheep
Most fruit* and vegetable*
brought steady price* at southwest
consuming centers as the week
closed. Denver continued to re-
port a weak trend on several com-
modities from nearby producing

at Fort Worth also had an unsettled
tone. Onions declined early in the

chase program went into effect Sept
interests of his county consume
more annually than I* produced In
the county.
For that reason he has been buy-
ing quite a lot of maize on the
plains and trucking it down Re-
cently he returned with a consign-
ment secured near Tahoka “If the
price doesn't go too high, we expect
to get 100 tons and distribute it
through our co-op store here."
-Combine maize wasn't much
around here this year” was the way
he explained the grain situation
But there will be a silver lining to
the situation "Stockmen have
sown much winter grain, cats and
barley not much wheat, principally
for grazing and not harvesting. Our
chartered co-op here has sold about
1500 bushels of cats and 500 bush-
els of barley Most of it has
already been sown. We plant the
small grain and get it back through
fattened livestock" Sheep are do-
ing well, as are cattle.
The range was reported as "get-
ting in good shape" after being
dry during the summer "Plenty
