BOX 266, LITITZ, PA. 17543 iril 13. 1974 TRADE BALANCE IN BLACK .. . The first favorable balance of trade in 3 years for the U.S, was brought about largely by a record surplus in agricultural trade. 1973’s agricultural trade surplus of $9.3 billion wiped out a deficit of $7.6 billion in nonagricultural shipments, leaving an overall trade surplus of $1.7 billion. Agriculture’s contribution was built on the sale of $17.7 billion worth of U.S. farm products abroad, against U.S. foreign farm imports of $8.4 billion. WHEAT NOTES ... A record pace of exports and prospects of unusually small wheat stocks are pushing wheat prices at the farm to record levels. USDA economists expect farm prices for the 1973-74 marketing year to average around $3.90 a bushel, up from $1.76 in 1972-73. STOCKS DROP...TotaI wheat use in 1973-74 is ex pected to approach 2.6 billion bushels, well ahead of 1973’s 1.7 billion bushel crop, which will cause old-crop stocks next July to be around 178 million bushels. This would be the second year in a row that stocks have been cut in half. However, supplies of 1974-crop wheat harvested in June should ease the Street Address & R.D. Address pressures on what is shaping up as the smallest carryover in 27 years. In addition, some purchases of 1973-crop wheat for export have been deferred and quotas on U.S. imports of wheat have been temporarily lifted. COTTON EX PORTS ... Two shortages, one of shipping space and the other of bunker oil, threaten to cut into U.S. cotton ex ports in 1973-74, industry sources have told USDA. The record-large quantities of products awaiting export have already strained transportation facili ties... and 'this problem is being further aggravated by the tight worldwide supply of bunker oil. Some ports are supplying vessels with only enough fuel to reach the next port of call while in other cases the ships can’t get any oil at all. Some U.S. vessels are now sailing only when they can carry enough bunker oil for their return journey and the extra fuel limits their freight capacity. Though over 6.5 million bales of cotton are still scheduled to be shipped out during the remainder©! the marketing year, industry sources express doubt that exports will even reach the current USDA estimate of approximately 5.7 million bales. FERTILIZER FACTS .. . More fertilizer is expected to be produced this year than last. .. though farmers still may not be able to get all they need. 1974 supplies are expected to be up 8 percent for both nitrogen and phosphates and 5 percent for potash. But the prospective large increase in crop acreage plus the PUBLIC AUCTION AT THE NEW HAT & GAVEL AUCTION CO. THURSDAY, April 18, 6 P.M.
