NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Today's native will probably
achieve success but there are trials
before you and you will probably
suffer some privation before you
reach goal. The mind is little
too sensitive and perhaps too crit
ical, considering the conditions.
There is also danger of adverse in
fIuences from friends.

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 di-
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
of 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 centra! market, they also
removed an equivalent portion of the
supply which balanced the lessened
demand.
No competition was lost this
process. i was simply m' out to:
the interior, markets, whr.e it. = NO

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

Paving Of RI Roads WAS Big Factor
in Growth Of Direct Selling

From 1920 to 1880 the mileage Of
h~ard-surfaced roads in the IL Corn
Belt States grew from 154,521 to
277,764 miles. During the same period;
the number of motor truck registra-
tons in the Corn Belt States increased
from $4,000 to 1,278,000, according
to the federal bureau of public roads.
The staccato roar of the motor truck
brought in its wake a profound change
in livestock marketing methods "a
change which is best described by
comparing the farmer of today with
the farmer Of 20 years. ago. rs
The farmer of 20 years past had to
rely on q team and wagon to haul his
hogs over a mud road to the nearest
railroad shipping point. He could haul
only on certain shipping days" when
trains and stock carr were available,
usually one, two, or at the most three
days a week. His effective marketing
radius was small. The slowness of
wagon transportation tied him y the
shipping point and the railroad fur
nished practically his only contact
with livestock markets.
Today, good. roads and trucks have

Interior Markets Do Not :. s

"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
ut 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 fluctuated all the
way from 70 cents under Chicago to
slightly above.
On very few days did the Chicago
price and the average interior price
