SOUTH SIDE men
FAVOR MINIMUM
PRICE ON HOGS
Decision From Washington
Comes as Surprise to Local
Commission Men; Think
Boards Disagreed.

News yesterday from Washing
ton that the present minimum hog
price which expired last night viii
be continued until a decision is made
BY the president, has completely
upset the belief Of most South Side
men associated in the stock indus
try. The theory was general that
the minimum limit would cease to
be effective at the end of the month
unless a new minimum price was
fixed. Now it is stated there will
be no action before Monday.
The general impression at the
South Side exchange is that the War
board and the food administration
stabilization committee have dis
agreed and placed the matter before
the president.
Commission men at the South
Side exchange are generally in favor
OF a continuation of the minimum
price. They believe it would be an
act Of good faith on the part Of the
government to continue the mini
mum price for another month.
May Raise Price.
The possible discrimination of a
minimum price does not necessarily
entail drop in hog prices, how
ever, according to T. H. Schroer,
chairman of the local bureau of
markets. Mr.. Schroer believes that
if embargoes affecting neutral and
other countries are raised the for
sign demand for pork products may
even raise the price of hogs. Great
Britain is now in the market for
these products, and it is said that
packers are already loading ships
preparatory to the lifting Of the en-
barge.
AS a result Of the uncertainty Of
March hog prices unusually large
hog receipts were recorded for the
last month. The run for February
IS estimated to be $4,000 head heav-
ier than during the same month a
year ago. 1t is believed that the in
crease would have been nearer 1885,
coo head had t not been for car al
lotments. local embargoes and the
nnfayorah.e weather conditions Of

held in unbroken session, if neces-
sary, until the term ends.
