"The practice of slaughtering so-called broiler
turkeys weighing two to four pounds each
(which is approximately 25 per cent of the
weight of the matured bird) we consider waste
ful and we are appealing to the hotels, clubs and
restaurants, where they are mostly consumed,
to discontinue to serve them.
"We desire dealers to refrain from purchasing
these immature birds, and also that they en
courage producer to allow them to mature,
thereby increasing our meat supply. , ' !

Favorable at Start
Steady Market
By Joseph F. Prltchard
Chicago. Aug. 2. (L N, B. ) Corn was In
good demand and prices, at the close were 1 4
2 H c higher. Oats were irregular and un
settled with August unchanged to 4 c loseer ;
September unchanged to Ue higher, and October
4 c lower.
Pork and ribs were unchanged in price, while
lard was the smallest fraction better.
'Chicago. Aug. 2. (I. N. S.) On the corn
side at the opening of trade today there was a
strong undertone with the price slightly over
yesterday' close. During the trading there was
selling by longs through commission houses at
a good figure and the offerings were readily
absorbed.
On a small showing in oats, prices ranged
around the close of yesterday. The offerings
are small, and the car situation, which Is , be
coming acute, is attracting attention of - the
traders.
Provisions were slow, though a trifle higher.

REAU OF THE JOURNAL) Th food admin
istration announces fair price for flour are feed
prices for representative Pacifia coast point for
carload lots at the mills, adding the cost of
freight, packages and handling in less thsn ctr
lods. The price at Portland, Astoria. Tacoma and
Seattle, for flour is $9 95;' brtri, $23.16; mixed
feed. $24.40; middling, shorts and red dog.

and red dog, $25.75.
Fair price schedules rs being worked out far
every mill in the country.
The grain corporation wired many Pacific
coast mills today that practically every mill will
be notified of the maximum prices it mty charge
within a'dsy cr so.
The price named by the government for P- I
cific Northwest flour sales are unchanged from
those now in effect here. On the other hand,
it advanced the price California millers may ;
charge 20c per barrel, even though the millers I
'of the south have the same wheat price as the f
Pacific Northwest. Millers of the Northwest are i
not disposed to complain, because it will allow
them a chance to get into the California market.
The profits of the California millers will be in
creased. Tfew York Bond Market
