all of the past few months' sales have as yet
moved into actual consumption, for preliminary
tabulations of stocks in hands of wholesale
grocers on September 30 reveal that this class
of distributors was carrying more than double
the stocks of a year earlier, but active buying
and the firm asking prices of manufacturers
are definite indications of the healthy. tone of
the market.

Manufacturers' stocks on October 1 are
reported as 160,578,000 pounds, compared with
343,132,000 pounds on October 1 of last year,
and a 1931-35 average for that date of
207,872,000 pounds. Except for 1931, this
year's October 1 stocks were the lowest for
that date since 1926. In 1931, the quantities
on hand Octoberl utc only 136,000,000 pounds,
but it is to be noted that in 1931, production
of evaporated milk was lower than in either of
the two preceding years, and trade movement was
sluggish, particularly during the latter part of
the year. :

September production of evaporated case
goods, estimated at approximately 186,000,000


pounds, was a 38.0 percent increase over
September 1935, and was 39,000,000 pounds heavier
than the previous September high, which occurred
in 1934. The seasonal change from August to
September this year was an increase of 1.5 per
cent. In 1935, the comparison was a 16.0 percent
decrease, and during the past five years the
average August-September change was a 15.5 per
cent decrease. Production this year was
apparently stimulated by the strong market tone
and the relatively light supplies of this class
of goods.

Average wholesale selling prices of
evaporated case in September of $3.19 per case
represented no material change from August,
although prices in some areas averaged slightly
higher, due principally to different manu-
facturers selling in these areas. The above
average price for September was 60 cents per
case above the September 1935 average. Prices
to producers supplying condenseries averaged
the sane as in August, $1.74 per cwt. for 3.5
percent milk, but were 52 cents per cwt. above
August 1935.
