STOCKS OF EVAPRATED MILK BELOW AVERAGE MARKETING AGREEMENT PRICES UNCHANGED


STOCKS OF EVAPORATED MILK IN THE
HANDS OF MANUFACTURERS ON AUGU-sT I, AS
REPORTED TO THE U.S. BUREAU OF AGRIC'IL-
TURAL ECONOMICS, WERE CONSIDERABLY BELOW
AVERAGE, BUT THERE WAS AN INCREASE IN
STOCKS OVER THO::E OF JULY I WHICH AMOUNT-
ED TO 50,000,000 POUNDS, COMPARED WITH AN
AVERAGE INCREASE OF SUT 26,000,000
POUNDS, OFFsETTINC THIS, HOWEVER, IS THE
FACT THAT THE AUGUST I STOCKS TOTALING
203,835,000 POUNDS, WERE 31,000,000
POUNDS LESS THAN THE AUGUST I FIVE-YEAR
AVERAGE. THIS RELATIONSHIP, TOGETHER
WITH PRODUCTION THIS SEASON RUNNING
MATERIALLY DELOW LAST YEAR, PARTLY
ACCOUNT; FOR THE STEADY TO FIRM MARKET
WHICH CONTINUES TO PREVAIL. REGARDLESS
OF A GENERAL FALLING OFF OF DAIRY PRO-
DUCTION, EVAPORATED MILK DID SHOW AN
INCREASE IN JULY OF 102I MILLION POUNDS
OVER A YEAR EARLIER, FUT IN ALL OTHER
MONTHS OF 1934, THE YEAR TO YEAR COMPARI-
SONS SHOWED DECREASES, WITH THE RESULT
THAT FOR THE CALENDAR YEAR TO AUGUST I,
1934 PRODUCTION WAS 98 MILLION POUNDS
LESS THAN THE CORRESPONDING PERIOD OF
1933. THLRE WAS A DECREASE OF 242
MILLION POUNDS UNDER 1933 PRODUCTION
DURING THE FLUSH PRODUCTION PERIOD ALONE,
MAY, JUNE, AND JULY.

TRADE OUTPUT OF EVAPORATED MILK
EXCEEDED THAT OF 1933 EARLY IN THE YEAR,
AND AGAIN IN JUNE, SUT DURING ALLOTHER
MONTHS WA; LESS THAN LAST YEAR. FOR THE
PERIOD, JANUARY TO JULY, INCLUSIVE1
THERE WAS AN ESTIMATED DECREASE IN 1934
OF 60 MILLION POUNDS UNDER THE FIRST SIX
MONTHS OF 133. SOME OF THE SIGNIFICANCE

OF THIS COMPA.IS-N IS REMOVED, HOWEVER,
WHEN IT IS RECOGNIZED THAT ESTIMATES OF
MONTHLY TRADE OUTPUT DO NOT TAKE INTO
ACCOUNT STOCKS HELD BY WHOLESALE GROCERS,
BECAUSE OF A LACK OF DATA. THE LAST
QUARTERLY REPORT OR;F WHOLESALE GROCERS'
STOCKS, WHICH APF'LIES TO JUNE 30, SHOWS
THAT ON THAT DATE IN 1933, THIS CLASS OF
DISTRIBUTORS WERE CARRYING STOCKS ALMOST
DODULE THE AMOUNTS USUALLY HELD, AND
ALMOST DOUBLE THE STOCKS HELD DN JUNE 30
THIS YEAR, THE AMOUNTS THIS YEAR DEING
ASOUT AVERAGE. THUS, A LIGHTER TRADE
OUTPUT IN 1934 MAY DE PARTLY ACCOUNTED
FOR DY LIGHTER STOCKS CARRIED DY. WHOLE-
SALE GROCERS THIS YEAR. IT IS POSSIBLE
THAT THE HEAVY MOVEMENT OF EVAPORATED
MILK FROM MANUFACTURERS HANDS IN JUNE
THIS YEAR MAY HAVE DEEN DUE TO WHOLESALE
GROCERS STOCKING UP IN ANTICIPATION OF A
PRICE INCREASE, SINCE ADOUT THAT TIME
THERE WAS A PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE
EVAPORATED MILK MARKETING AGREEMENT-AND
REMOVE THE EXISTING MAXIMUM WHOLESALE
SELLING PRICE PROVISION. THIS AMENDMENT
IS STILL PENDING.
AVERAGE WHOLESALE SELLING PRICES
OF EVAPORATED CASE IN JULY WERE
PRACTICALLY THE SAME AS IN JUNE.
SOME PFICE SHADING WAS SAID TO
HAVE TAKEN PLACE, OUT THE VOLUME
OF -USINESS ON SUCH A BASIS WAS
PROOADLY NOT LARGE IN RELATION
TO TOTAL SALES.
