Market Reports from Western Markets Week Ending January 19 1921
The Western News Service reports weak eastern hay markets due to poor demand with heavy prairie receipts and lower Western prices by $1 to $2. Grain and feed costs shift as flour and meal prices ease, while strong demand for alfalfa meal grows. Live stock markets show declines in hogs and lambs, with beef and dairy prices mixed or down, and wholesale meat markets softening overall.

Imported Lombardy poplar and cottonwood are less affected, but most native varieties suffer widespread damage.

Worldwide ostrich feather trade concentrates in London
In 1914 South Africa’s ostrich flocks dropped from 1,600,000 to 300,000. Germany and Austria stay out, England buys a few but too costly for France. The world’s feather business is controlled by about six men in London with holdings worth 9 to 10 million dollars. The United States dominates demand, setting prices from 60 to 100 dollars per pound though active markets could fetch 160 to 200 dollars.
