INCREASED EXJG SUPPLIES; LOWER PRICES PREVAIL New Fori U Demonstrated In Town Thrills aplenty hav* been the lot of the scores of visitors to the show- rooms of Down and Richards, local Ford Dealers, who have been giving demonstratioris of the Ford V-8 for 1934, the past week. Those who have driven the now c.-jra themselves commented most fav- orably upon its greater power and .speed, quicker acceleration, smoother performance jind ease of control. There is ro question but that the new Ford V-8, while, basically like the hundreds of thousands of other Ford V-8's now on the roads, is a groat improvement over the cars of the last two years. NOT TALKING OF HOGS (By Haywire) Inside the village store the steam rose from wet boots and snow cover- ed overalls, blujc smoke drifted to the ceiling to mingle with the soot from the oil lamps. Outside the wind raged furiously, it swirled and eddied around the comers, drove the snow into drifts across the road and piled it up against fences and build- ings. A group of farmerg were sit- ting around the box stove discussing the affairs of village and country- .sidc, their talk wandering from pas- tures to politics,, from feed to fin- ance. "Waal I guess what this coun- try needs is a change of Govern- ment," volunteered old Abe from the Corners. "What would yoa change to?" enquired the man from the gaa- station. "Change of parties won't do no good," asserted Jake Simon, "what wo wart is a new form of Government, "And what might you have on yowrmind?" Abe enquired. "Thig here communism what the city folk? talk about," was the reply, "let us poor fellows get some of the money what's stored up in the tanks, let's share things around a bit." "You mean if you had a thousand dollars and 1 was hard up you'd shar« it with me?" "Sure I would," main- tained Jake. "And If you had two horses and I hadn't any you'd give me one?" "Sure." "Sure," came the ready reply. "And if you had two cows you' A do the same?" per- si.ited Abe. "Sure." "And if yoa had two hogs. . ." "Whose talking about hogs? I got two hogs." Receipts of fresh eggs have increas- ed in volume to some extent on the Toronto and Montreal markets, re- sulting in a fall in prices. An added factor in this recession of prices would appear to be a slackening in consumptive demand, probably due to prices charged to consumers being romewhat too high for the present kow spending power of the great majority of consumers at the present time. It is hoped that the some- what lower retail prices now prevail- ing will assist' in retail aales. Live Stock Report An overloaded market, coupled with the fact that packers and butchers are well stocked with beef and fresh cattle, sent cattle prices down 25c on the Toronto live stock market yester- day. Low receipts enabled the bold- over to be reduced from 1,700 head to 1,600. Hogs were the only live stock to show an advance, jumping 20c, and at the close were up 36c for the week. Calves, sheep and lamba closed firm. A few choice weighty steers sold from $4.50 to f5. Butcher cattle ra.-ged from $2.50 to $4.25, with good cows from $2.25 to $2.50. Canners closed unchanged at 75c. Choice fed calvesbrought tops from $6.50 to $7, with others down to $4.50. Light stockers brought $2.25 to $3.25. Milk- ers and springers sold slow at tops of mostly $35. The calf market closed steady and unchanged at $6.50 to $7 for choice vealers and $3 for common. Hogs advanced 20c under active buying to close at $5.85 f.o.b. for bacons, $6.10 off trucks, and $6.36 off cars. La nub trade held firm at $7.75 for good ewes and wethers. Culls, bucks and heavies ranged from $3.50 to $7. Odd choice lots of lambs went as high as $8.50. Starlings have another black mark against their record as destructive pests. Grai)e growers in the Niag- ara district claim they destroy the vines and crops. PERSONAI.
