HOG MINIMUM
CHANGED TO SIS
Food Administration Yields to Packers
Demands to Lower Standard-Mini-

At S17,


Demands TO Lower standard-Mini-
mum For November May Be Placed
at $17.
Chicago. Oct. s.-Protest by packers
at the $3.50 average minimum price
on hogs for October brought speedy
response from the food administration.
A wire from Washington said: after
carefully considering the recommended
ton Of producers. the food administer
ton deems it wise to modify the plan
of a fixed average Of $3.50 during
October TO minimum price of SIS. as
effecting substantially the same result
and being more practical in operation.
I'VE believe it viii do justice to pro-
ducers, unless something now entirely
unforeseen arises. in which event ad-
justment can be arrived at when No
vember prices are discussed between
producers and packers"
Several SIS droves were put up yes
teraay. Armour buying good drove
at s1s.25.
Packers took the position that an SIS
minimum was the agreement reached
at the conference last week.
With corn values going down 1t Is
improbable that a November minimum
higher than ST. will be possible. The
month system of averaging corn
cost Is attacked by packers on the
ground that new hogs have not been
on feed that long and that declining
market as the winter advances. which
will be the logical sequence Of con-
tinued depreciation in corn. will attract
hogs to market at deficient weight.
