Price of Pork NOIU
BeLOU April I, 1917,
LeUeL: Beef Drops

CHICAGO, Dec. 3.-Packers' prices on
pork have dropped below the pre-war
lever Of April l, 1917. according to a
review of the meat and livestock situa-
ton issued today by the Institute OF
American Meat Packers. Beef prices also
have declined. the report says, carcass
beef during the last week in November
showing q drop of o per cent over the
price on Oct. 1, and II per cent lower
than on Sept. 1.
The decline in pork loins during No
ve1nber, the report points out, amounted
to 81 per cent; smoked hams, 35 per
cent bacon from 10 to IS per cent, aud
various other pork products from 10 to
AZ per cent
Declining trends of commodity prices
and of grain, the report declares, were
the chief causes for the reduction In the
price Of packers products.
Persons In the trade" the report
says, ARE reluctant to say whether the
bottom Of prices has been reached.
A cut of from 20 to rs per cent In
cement prices was reported from Hi
nois. Tennessee and Michigan. Reduc-
lions Of from to II per cent In the
price of lumber was reported from Mil

HOG PRICES
UP rs CENTS
Trade in Cattle .Draggy-
Lambs S1.75 Higher.
RANGE OF noG PRICES.

Hog prices were Is to 20 cents higher
at the opening of the local live stock ex-
change here today, due TO heavy orders
from Eastern packing houses and smaller
receipts than have been coming into the
market lately.
Local packers bought a large number
of hogs, but the majority were bought
by Eastern shippers.
Local packers were of the opinion at
the middle of the forenoon trading that
they would be able to buy hogs lower be-
fore the close Of the market. They based
their opinion on reports that there were
between 1000 and 1900 hogs yet to come
on the market, and they did not believe
that orders from Eastern houses would
be sufficient to hold the prices up.
There was a top of $10.65 on several
loads. Of light hogs, and many more sold
around $1,000. The bulk Of the light
hogs brought S1050010.60.
Good heavy hogs generally brought
$1,000, with a few at $1,000
Mediums and mixed generally brought
$1,000.
Pigs brought S1O-5O@1O.75. and roughs,
S9G050.
The bulk Of sales ran close to $1OJ0@
1860.
Receipts Appropriated 1900.
The tone of the cattle market was only
fair, with light receipts at between coo
and 700. a poor quality Of cattle. and a
4
about steady, and at the middle Of the
forenoon trade there were no evidences
Of higher tendencies.
Practically all the usual buyers were
In the market, but sales were not large.
However, there was a good demand for
Gamers and a fair demand for cutters.
Trading on the caltmarket was draggy
with little demand and poor quality
stuff on the market.
Prices were barely steady, with the
bulk OF the good to choice veals at $3.50
M1350. and q very few at S14. There
were not ms many calves sold at S14 as
there were on the Thursday market.
Receipts for the day Appropriated 45O
With less than 200 sheep and lambs
on the market, sheep were steady, and
lambs were S150d1.75 higher. with a
ton Of S11T5, 25 cents less than was paid
for approximately 200 fancy fed western
lambs Thursday.

1t is becoming evident that the market
is now able to take care OF itself rea-
sonably well. On declines resistance de-
velops and this resistance is becoming
a little more pronounced each day, as
investors, recognizing the extremely low
valuations prevailing, are entering the
market with a little more confidence and
accumulating stocks with the view of
holding over the present depression.
Furthermore, the bankers attitude Is
more friendly, and the more confident
expressions here now are in sharp con-
trast with the warnings OF the early part
OF this year.
Business does not yet show q material
change, which Is quite natural

difficulties that the commercial world is
confronted with at this time but il is
well to bear IN mind that cur present
evils are not the result of oyerproduc-

public does enter the market we are
likely to experience another rise IN com

Wheat-It is beginning to be recognized
that the actual expectations and the
sales contaminated but not yet shipped,
have reduced our surplus to the point
where the amount normally carried over
at the end of the crop must this year
provide for seven months export bust
less, as well as the carry over. New
foreign demand has been slowed down
by the advance in prices, but private ad-
vices tell Of a large export business re-
Gently done on the Pacific coast. re
again call your attention to the dini-
cElty in filling export sales. as evidenced
by a further advance In the premiums
bid. 1t has been commonly accepted that
Southern Hemisphere wheat would sup
ply the continental demand after the
first Of the year. II there is any truth
in today's Australian cables which say
that the entire surplus has already been
sold, and If any damage occurs to the
Argentine crop, where it Is now remain
Ing during harvest, then the idea OF am
pie supplies from south OF the equator
Is dlssipated. The persistent and lib
eral foreign demand is the essence Of the
market and probably viii bring an ulti-
mstely higher range of values, but 1t
must be remembered that there is not
the usual confidence on - Dart OF the
investor In the way anticipating III
ture wants Because of this comparative
absence Of buying power the market will
be subject to numerous recessions- we
confidently believe tuat thee RECESSION
will prove opportune spots for invest
ments.
Corn-The strength in wheat has been
mainly responsible for the action OF corn,
but it seems to us that there is individ-
uality underlying this market. u arises
from the light receipts, the practically
total absence OF offerings by the country
and the fact that the consuming trade
has yet TO meet exhausted stocks and pro-
vide for future uses. The movement at
the present time is not large enough 10
meet local requirements OF industries and
feed dealers. Shippers with previous
sales 10 the East nave not yet provided
for these sales Therefore, they may oe
expected 10 appear In the spot market
at any time. Shipment OF corn from this
market back to the heart OF the corn belt
Is distinctly out Of the ordinary and
either disputes the idea OF a large sur
plus Of old coin or confirms the reluctant
selling Of the producer. Adyantag e should
be taken OF every small depression In
price 10 provide for future wants.
Oats-Thcre II no revival OF outside IN

US that the above remarks relative TO
corn apply with equal force to oats. This
being so. prices should work higher.
