Government Cuts Lard Buying,
Hog Market Stages Retreat

which the Government currently is
supplying the lard market alone
would have given live hog buyers
some cause for hesitation this week,
but they had another cause for
worry in the imposition of a price
ceiling at $685. a hundred pounds
for lard
These two factors, along with in
dicatlons that the dressed market
cannot sustain a rapid price rise,
combined to reduce hog quotations
this week. 1t was notable that the
heavy weight offerings, which have
the greater lard content. were un-
der most pressure. Lighter hogs re-
sisted the decline.
Some encouragement was af-
forded, however by cold storage sta
tistics which showed a substantial
downturn in lard supplies. On Dec.
l, cold storage holdings totaled IT,
OPT 900 pounds against 252,472, 900
on the same date last year. On Nov.
l. 1941, the total was 1916, 900
pounds.
Weighty steers were under pres
sure most of the week and sold down
as much as 81 under last weeks quo
tations. Fat lambs drifted lower.

New Paper Process
Opens Market for
Cotton Waste
Crane & Co. Reveals
Joint Research With
Mothieson AlkoIi
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. Dec. 20.-A paper
manufacturer and a chemical con-
Germ have successfully co-operated on
a research project which will open
a market for cotton by-products now
OF little value, it was disclosed today.
High-g grade paper. said E. o. Reed,
of Crane & Co, Dalton, Mass, pa
per makers. can now be made from
such cotton by-products as hull
shavings and the waste from GIN
ming, carding, and other cotton
cleaning operations.
A commercial chemical. sodium
chlorite. recently developed by the
Mathieson Alkali Works, Inc, has
made the new process possible, ac-
cording TO Reed.
The jointly solved problem, Reed
said. was to clean the raw cotton
f1bers without using chemicals that
weakened them and made them un-
! fit for paper manufacture.
It was discovered that when ever
the most discolored cotton fiber;
were boiled with sodium chlorite in
combination with other chemicals
and then bleached, the resulting
pulp was entirely clean and pro-
duced paper in every way equal to
the best quality Of paper made from
cotton rags.
The paper-making industry, Reed
explained, has long sought a prac-
ticable method of making paper
direct from raw cotton fibers.

Chicago Prices Near

Duy's Best Levels
By FRANKLIN MULLIN,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

CHICAGO, Dec. 20.-SOybean
prices rose almost cents bushel at
one stage. close to the limit permit
ted in todays session, injecting
strength as well as some life to the
otherwise languid grain trade.
Buying of beans was stimulated
by reports of the possibility that
ceilings placed on certain fats and
oils a week ago may be revised and
by advanced bids to country points
for supplies. Soybean Oil and lard
have held at ceiling levels all week
that were approximately cent a
pound below quotations prevailing
last week. Cottonseed oil interests
were reported to have been buyers
of beans for protection against CELL
ing revisions.
The wheat and corn advance was
held to IL cent, with investment and
commercial trade remaining restrict
ed because of uncertainty regarding
price control legislation. Some buy
ing was attributed to dealers cover
ing previous short sales due to the
action of beans. but milling and flour
trade was quiet

lard unchanged at ceiling levels.
The very favorable outlook for
winter wheat production next sum-
mer had depressing effect. Despite
the small acreage seeded, the Gov
ernment's preliminary forecast Of
production was much larger than
had been expected. The official FORE
cast of 630913000 bushels was only
1000 900 less than this years large
harvest although the acreage planted
is one OF the smallest since the first
World War The crop forecast, which
exceeded that of private experts an
nounced about two weeks ago by
almost 100000 bushels. was based
largely on the excellent condition of
plants and abundance of moisture.
Most of the strength of rye was
centered in December contracts,
trading in which ceases Monday
along with dealings in expiring de-
liverieS of other cereals.
