PROSPECTS BRIGHT
Large Movements Out of
Storage Mean Better
Market in Spring.
A large out-of-storage movement
of eK Is cited by the bureau of
agricultural economics as the
most Important development In the
poultry and egg situation during
the past month. This - increases
the chances of more favorable egg
prices to the producer this winter
and next spring, according to the
bureau.
The number of laying hens on
farms stands at a record low lev
el for this time of year, but egg
production per hen has been high.
This heavy production per hen
is keeping tho market volume of
eggs above last year's level. The'
bureau pointed out, however, that
normally rigorous winter weather
Is likely to curtail the high rate
of production and cause market
ings to be under those of 1137.
Therefore, egg prices this spring
may be somewhat above those of
VJ'tf and. as the year progresses,
the spread between prices receiv
ed in li38 and 1937 is expected to
widen, unless consumer incomes
decline more sharply than anti
cipated at the present time. The
usual decline in egg prices is not
expected to be as sharp this win
ter as a year ago because of the
much smaller size of farm flocks.
With respect to poultry prices,
the bureau said that the early peak
of cold storage holdings of frozen
poultry this season, together with
the fewer chickens on farms, will
tend to keep chicken prices In the
first half of 193N above those of
a year earlier. A larger hatch of
chickens is expected this spring
than last, however, which prob
ably wilt increase the poultry sup
ply In the last half of the year and
bring chicken prices then under
those of the year before.
