PACKERS OUTLOOK
DECLARED BRIGHT.
Favorable Year Is Seen Fol-
lowing Gains in Recent
Months.
BY J. C. ROYLE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK January 3-Every In
dication points to a favorable year IN
1929 for the packing house industry
and for live stock producers. There
seems little chance OF lower prices for
live stock or meat products, although
the price levels promise to be fairly
stable.
There will be an adequate supply of
meat animals. but the market is not
likely to be flooded by heavy market
ings. There will be lot of corn fed, but
the high price of corn at present does
not give hope of any slump in finished
animal prices.
These facts, according to men thor
oughly verSsd in conditions in the live
stock industry, indicate a continuation
of the basic factors which dominated
the situation in 1928. A resume OF the
situation was made today by G. r.
Swift, packer, of Chicago.
Good Prices Obtained.
"The year just passed" said Mr..
Swift, "has been a remarkable one in
many ways. Cattle and beef prices
reached new peace time levels while
sheep and lamb prices, were continued
on the high level of recent years.
Average weekly hog prices rose from
low of $805 in March to $1245 in
September The brief shortage in July,
August and September, however, was
succeeded by heavy receipts in the last
quarter of the year, accompanied by
another severe decline in prices. How
ever. receipts as a whole were only
about 10 per cent higher than in 1927
while the average prices were only
5 per cent less than in the previous
year
THE shortage in market supplies OF
cattle became acute and prices scared.
Range cattlemen obtained prices for
their stock that helped compensate for
the lean years from 1921 to 1925.
Cattle feeders had good year, but
their profits were limited by the high
prices they had to pay for feeder
cattle. Receipts at markets were about
10 per cent smaller than in 1927 and
prices of native beef steers rose from
$11.70 in 1927 to $14.00 in 1928. Sheep
and lamb receipts continued to increase
but prices failed to decline, indicating
an Improvement in the demand for
lamb, which showed an average price
gain of IS cents hundred for the year.
From the standpoint of the meat
packers, the last year has been fairly
satisfactory, although the reduction IN
cattle receipts and the high level or
beef and cattle prices added to the diff
ficulty of making a profit in the beef
business"
Hog Supplies.
"The probability that beef cattle
prices will be fully maintained is in
creased by the shortage of range cat<
tie depleted by growers to take ad-'
vantage of. 1928's high prices and by
the present high cost of feeder cattle
and the building up of dairy herds.
There is some talk of shortage of
hogs following the Government survey,
but the way hogs were marketed in
December indicated no shortage OF
supply"

and now president of the republic.
Another was the then President
Adolfo Diaz, conservative.
Until recently the United States
has followed a policy Of sheer ex-
pediency in Nicaragua and else
where in Central America and even
that was seldom based upon any
real knowledge of the situation.
In 1907, President Roosevelt in
duced the five Central American
governments to meet in Washing
ton and enter into a non-interven-
ton treaty with one another and
an agreement not to recognize any
Central American government
which had come into power through
revolution or coup d'etat. Fur
thermore Central American court
of justice was created ito decide
every difference or difficulty that
may arise between them"
Yet within decade we ourselves
had violated the spirit, if not the
letter, of every one of these agree
ments which we had helped tc
frame and, by refusing to abide by
a ruling of the Central American
court bearing on the Nicaraguan
canal, we killed the court.

HOOVER FAvORS
MARINES STAY
IN NICARAGUA
U. S. May Keep Soldiers for
Another Two Years; to
/ Reduce Force.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP sIMMs

Foreign Editor, scripps- Howard Newspa pers
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26-While
Herbert Hoover is known to be
strongly, opposed to keeping the
marines in Nicaragua minute lon
ger than necessary, it is not believed
he will order all of them home
within the next two years at mini
mum.
The question has come alive again
due to the senate's surprising ges-
lures last Friday and Saturday. On
Friday, on an amendment to the
cruiser bill, the senate voted SO to 30
to bring the marines home from
Nicaragua before July l. But, on
Saturday, when given a chance to
reconsider its action, the senate re-
yersed itself by vote of 48 to 80.
President Elect Hoover, therefore,
must decide for himself when to re-
call the marines, and his first hand
knowledge Of the situation is expect
ed to Lead him to allow part of the
forces, at least, to remain for some
{ to come. The rest will likely
be ordered home, a batch at a time.
Those left behind viii be used to
organize and train nonpolitical
Nicaraguan constabulary or mill
tary force.
When the President-elect was in
Nicaragua last November, the lead
ing members Of both major parties
down there personally appealed to
him to allow some of the marines
to remain for an indefinite period
two or three years at least. Among
those who talked to him on the
subject was General Jose Mario
