Boston, Mass, Jan. 22.-The wool

Tin Of new business although the
volume Of trade from this source is
small. The fact that domestic fine
and one-half blood woods continue to
be considerably below foreign wool
q Tar grade is the cause of much
comment among the trade and sew
eral members feel that indications
point to a trend toward these grades.
Medium woods, however, continue to
be in demand. All branches of the in
Gustry still look forward to the open

interest. The upward tendency of

Fleece woods are showing a fair

regarding the future.

DECREASE DUE To
LOW HOG PRICES

Washington, D. c. Jan. l9-H0o
production has passed the crest in
TIE surplus producing regions and a
downward movement in production is
well under way, according to the re-
suits Of the December 1928 pig SUI
vey of the department of agriculture
cooperating with the post office de-
partment through the rural carriers.
The survey shows a decrease of 81
per cent in the number of sows far
rowing in the fall of 1928 from the
fall of 1922 for the United States. A
decrease of 81 per cent in the corn
belt IS shown. In the June 1923 pig
survey stated they intended to breed
70 per cent more sows for fall for
rowing in 1928 than in the fall of
1922. The intended increase in the
cOrnbelt at that time was shown as
% per cent.
The decrease on fall narrowing is
no doubt the result of low hog prices
in June and July of 1923. Man,
sows that were intended for fall far
rowing in 1928 were marketed instead
as indicated by the fact that 61.8 per
cent of the hogs slaughtered at pack
ing plants during August, Septembei
and October were sows, compared
with 1913 per cent for the same
months the previous year, which is
interpreted as an increase in slaughter
of about 100000 sows for this per
iod. This is also supported by the
fact that while there was an increase
OF about 25 per cent in the inspected
slaughter of hogs during the four
months, July to October 1928 inc,
over the same period the previous
year, the average weight per head
was about the same for the two years
indicating that the number of sows
slaughtered must have increased at
least prOpOrtionately with the in
e in the total slaughter.
While the survey shows that the
sows narrowed in the fall of 1923 de-
creased 81 per cent for the United
States and 81 per cent in the corn.
belt from the previous year, the ac-
tuaI pigs saved were reported as
having decreased only So per cent
for the United States and 3.8 per
cen for the cornbelt.

mild winter has permitted feeding
on the open range until recently. This
has tended to conserve the feed sup

caused further decline in the condi-

siderable complaint is noted in west

though abundant is lacking in nutri-

reported in Texas but will tend to
insure a favorable year. The excel

LAY LINK ACROSS OCEAN

The creation of u super-radio broad
casting system on national and in
irrational basis was suggested yes
rday in a statement by Guy e.
Trip, chairman of the board of di-
..ctors of the Westinghouse Electric
.,ud Manufacturing Company. Mr..
Trips system would have six or SO
Aigh-powered super stations, in
t"rconnected by wire and radio, to
distribute complete and vel balanc-
~ programs" into every home in the
United States. Supplementary to
.nis he would have a secondary sys-
trrn of very low-powered stations to
lake care of purely local wants.
While the Westinghouse chairman
does not mention the American Tele-
ihone and Telegraph Company by
;tame in his statement, he refers 10
ne recent disturbance over the al
eyed attempt at monopoly or the
stir by saying that every community
.ihould be reached by more than one
service, because matters OF taste anc
interest cannot be standardized ana a
monopoly of broadcastlnS would be
contrary to public policy.
Outline Of Plan.
Mr.. Tripp outlines the plan as fol-
2ows:
i. By a pickup system of radio or
wire, a number of super-poWer brcad-
aStinG ntattonS judiciouSly located
within central areas would gather
rrogram material wherever available
-yithin their specified territories.
-. Each of these supcr-radio broad
casting. stations, as focal point for
:, particular area, would radlate a
regular and organized program, made
available by its own pickup sy.tem
or from the pickup system OF an area
served by some other broadcasting
station in tho chain.
"3. On occasions when desired, the
entire country could become d COM
munication unit in the interlink ed
:adio chain, or, alternately, separate
programs might be sent out from
stations of the chain.
~ In addition to the Super-radio
stations, there would be local stations
in the various communities. These
would have two functions (a1 to serve
,ocal interests and give expression to
local talent, and (b) pick up by the
radio repeating process, the most i'm
portant of the programs of the super
stations and pass these on to the local
owners of receivers of limited range.
The operations of the local stations
would be independent or the SUPER
system and would supply that variety
If program and appeal to local in
-ereSt which is essential for COM
pletely satisfactory broadcasting.
''5. To control this sy tenn impair
TALLY in the public interest, there
should be created an interstate radio
commission vested in full powers to
make and enforce regulations.
The electrical industry, which has
solved the problems of super-power
in its technical phases, which has
developed the equipment and methods
entailed by these vast schemes, rests
under the definite obligation to make
