PEANUT RESTRICTIONS NO LONGER EXIST. Sell all Your Peanuts, Buy More, or Still Hold Them. The removal of the restrictions placed upon the marketing of peanuts by the federal food ad ministration, immediately upon the showing made by the Geor gia State Bureau of Markets, leaves the market in that product wide open to the influence only of the law of supply ahd demand. It was promptly recognized by the food administration that, in the absence of a stabilized price, these restrictions should never have been placed on peanuts at all. With the removal of the restric tions, already announced from Washington, anyone one can buy peanuts now without a license, hold long as they want to and get all they can for them. The Federal Reserve Bank has declar ed that peanuts stored in a repu table warehouse, are just as good collateral as cotton. “While in Washington,” said Director Jackson, “I ran across a large manufacturer from Port land, Me., who makes a crisp from peanut oil. He was greatly dis tressed over not being able to buy any peanut oil, although he stated he was in the market for ten tank cars of it and had offered more than the market pric*, but found sellers were holding for still more. The name of this manufacturer will be furnished on request. “If anyone has any doubt about the peanut meal market being strong, let him try to contract to buy some, and he will find out. “The State Bureau of Markets renews its advice to market pea nuts very slowly, and producers will get a better price for them than has been prevailing this Beason.” Examination Carrier be Held at Vidalia.
