222, 1.-THE Direct Market

Publication 222, 1.-THE Direct Market
ing Of Hogs"
"There is a market difference in the
character Of competition at public
markets and at interior buying points.
At public markets the competition is
for a supply Of hogs that is physically
present, largely out of the control Of
the producers, and under the necessity
of early sale. At interior points it is
a competition to draw hogs, that are
still under the control of the producer,
to different points. Competition at
the public markets is more apparent
than at interior points since relatively
large numbers of buyers and sellers in
personal contact are readily observ-
abb at the former, while at the latter
the chief evidences of eompetition.are
the posted prices and the telephone
or personal requests being received
for bids on hogs.
But to the producer at home with
hogs for sale, the latter competition
is more useful since he is in a stronger
position opposite the buyer with his
hogs still at home than he would be

Chicago Hog Prices Strong On
Days Of Heavy Direct Receipts

Hog prices at the Chicago market
tend to be highest on Mondays and
Fridays, the same days on which d.
rect receipts Of hogs by Chicago pack
ers are generally largest
This fact was discovered In a study
of hog prices and hog receipts at that
market conducted by the U. S. Bureau
If Agricultural Economics.
Previous to this study, the belief
was held In some quarters that large
direct receipts of hogs by Chicago
packers had a depressing influence on
market prices. It was argued that the
packer buyers were weak bidders on
those days. Overlooked was the fact
that though large direct receipts re-
moved a portion Of the demand for
hogs at the central market, they also
removed an equivalent portion Of the
supply which balanced the lessened
demand.
No competition was lost this
process. It was simply mt . out to
the interior markets, where it Is no
less effective in maintaining-the level
Of prices justified by current condi--
tons Of supply and demand.
Results of the federal study are
shown in the accompanying chart

the fact that prices Of hogs every
where are determined by the current
and anticipated wholesale prices of
meat and by-products. However, it
cannot be said that prices at interior
markets are based on Chicago. AS the
federal economists stated, "A rise OF
a decline in hog prices is as likely to
appear first at the interior markets as
at the public markets"
Prices at interior markets In Iowa
and Minnesota are by no means uni
form, the federal study revealed. They
fluctuate from market to market,
though not to the same degree that
they 1uctuate from Chicago or other
central markets. The study indicated
that prices at any interior market are
more closely affected by prices at
other interior markets than they are
by central market prices.

Interior Markets Do Not
Base Prices on Chicago

"There is no fixed relationship be-
tween prices at any market and prices
at other public markets or at interior
points," declares the U. S. Bureau Of
Agricultural Economics in it's recent
report on the direct marketing of
hogs. data show that a rise or de-
cline in hog prices is as likely to ap-
pear first at the interior markets as
at the public markets."
This statement is borne out by the
chart shown below, based on data from
the Federal Market News Service.
During the period represented in the
chart, interior prices 1uctuated all the
way from 10 cents under Chicago to
slightly above.
On very few days did the Chicago
price and the average interior price
move exactly together. They dis

The shaded area represents the daily difference between hog prices at the
Chicago market and average prices at interior packing plants in Iowa and
Minnesota. The comparison is the basis of top prices for 220 to 250-Pound
hogs. The chart does not show actual prices, but merely gives the daily amount
that interior prices were under Chicago prices.
For example, in February the average prices at interior plants ranged from.
zoe to 2c under Chicago. In March, the interior prices rose very close to
Chicago prices o this particular weight of hogs even exceeding the Chicago
price O. n day.
The chart shows that interior markets do nt base their prices n a fixed
diRerendal under the Chicago market IS many suppose If they did, the
shaded area would be uniform in depth throughout.

The top half Of the chart shows that
the number Of hogs received direct by
