divided in its theories over January pro-
duct, SAYS the Times-Herald. January
prices are on a basis Of hogs al about
s.. 40. This is considerably under hogs at
present, which are avera ging the packer

a pretty good one; and, while he may
be willing 10 admit that January prices
will see soma further decline. he takes
the position the basis is low enough for
the start of q buying campaign. or
