Farm Cash Income
From Livestock
Boosted Sharply
Increased Production
And Higher Prices
Are Major Factors
BY WILLIAM LOCHNER,

CHICAGO, Dec. 7.-Increased pro-
duction and higher prices are becom-
ing big factors in helping farmers
realize improved cash returns on
their investment in livestock, market
experts said today.
Increased buying power of the
American people as a result Of ma
tional defense expenditures is help
ing producers move larger volume
of livestock into consumption chan
nels. Consumption of meats during
the first 10 months of the current
year was about II per cent over
year-ago levels. they said.
The greater cash return is being
reflected in the greater investments
farmers are making in livestock
production.
Feeding Increases.
Movement Of stocker and feeder
cattle as we'll as feeder lambs for the
four months ended October 81 into
the corn belt States have shown con-
siderable increases over the same
period a year ago and indications
are that the number of cattle and
lambs to be fed during the 1940-4l
season will be larger than in the
past season.
Although hog prices have averaged
lower through most of the current
year than last year. average cost in
November, when pork production
was about 10 per cent greater than
a year ago, stood at s6.11 per hum
dredweight, or IA cents higher than
in 1889
Heavier production has compen-
stated for the lower prices most of
the year, market experts pointed out
During the first 10 months hog
slaughter under Federal meat in
spection reached the highest level
for any similar period since 1928 and
was about % per cent greater than
in the same period last year.
1O-Month Total Higher.
Although cattle marketings dur
ing November were estimated to
have been about per cent smaller
than a year ago, slaughter during
the first 10 months topped year ago
figures by almost 200 900 head. Aver
age steer cost during November con-
tinued well above year ago levels,
reaching the highest level in three
years. Cost was S1208, against SO So
a year ago.
Cattle feeders have been getting
a margin Of 81 to S. for finished
cattle over thin cattle, compared
with an average of 50 to $3.50.
Lamb slaughter during the first 10
months of this year was about 10000
head above a year ago and market
ings for November were estimated
at slightly above year ago. Cost
of lambs in November averaged $9.35,
or 20 cents above year ago.

Buying inertia in lead accompanied
another cut in the price to 5.50-5.55
cents a pound.

tinue a policy of allocating sales at

Fovored Becouse of
Shorp Discount
BY FRANKLIN MULLIN,
Associated Press Market Writer.

CHICAGO. Dec. July, 1941,
wheat contracts, representing the
new crop, advanced cent bushel
today, leading a rally of all grains
which reduced or wiped out early
losses.
Buying of July wheat was at
tributed to dealers attracted by its
sharp discount under December and
May contracts. Helping to support
all wheat futures. however. were
signs of strength in securities and
revival of trade gossip concerning
the possibility of selling United
States Wheat to Spain.
December wheat was weakest
throughout the session, sagging Ia
cents early in the day to S77s, lowest
in more than week, and closing IA
lower than yesterday at 49,. May
and July fell 3s-ss with December
but closed 12-1 cent higher than
yesterday at 86ls-h and 81 re-
Spectively.
Corn closed unchanged to y
higher, December 5924 -5s. May so:
oats, ls-5s higher; soybeans, 3s-5s
lower, rye, l4-12 down, and lard un-
changed to 3 lower.
While there was no confirmation
that negotiations to sell wheat to
Spain were under way. this talk
which has been going on in the trade
for several weeks was revived bv

NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-THE stock
market today shook off some of its
lethargy. and finished a generally
do-nothing week with selective
rally centered on steels. shipbuild-
ings and industrial specialties.
While many issues had difficult
struggle to pin on small fractional
gains, active favorites were up a
point or so at the close and few
showed advances of 2 to g.
There was nothing particularly
outstanding in the news. either from
the war or home business sectors. to
promote the rally and brokers at
tributed it mainly to the feeling
of traders that, after about II
weeks of slanting downward, the list
was entitled to at least a technical
comeback.
Year-end tax selling continued to
put brakes on many stocks and fears
of what the tax bill may be next
year made for persistent wariness in
many speculative quarters.
Average Up Slightly.
The Associated Press average of
go issues was up 3 of point at AL,
the only plus sign registered in the
past six sessions. The composite
was unchanged Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday,; was off 2 Thurs
day and again unchanged Friday.
A hopeful portent was seen in
the fact dealings picked up on the

weeks mill operations would hold
around recent peak levels. Feverlsh
production in this field was exem-
plified by another jump of so cents

for heavy British orders in this
country to replace ocean war losses.

The IstleSs performance of the
stock department prior to today's

creasing Nazi bombings of English

of most Wall Streeters to form a
conclusion regarding the outcome Of
