CEILING PLACED
ON PORK PRICES
Set AT High Level OF
March 81 Period; e.
fective March q

CHICAGO, March 10.-tR-Price
advances in the hog market. which
had carried swine to 16 year
peaks, were halted today when
price administrator Leon Hender-
son announced temporary whole
sale ceilings for most pork pro-
ducts.
Henderson froze wholesale pric-
es of 80 per cent of the nations
pork products at the highest levels
prevailing between March 8 and
March 7. The order becomes ef-
fective March %.
Early trading, prior to Hender-
sens announcement, was slightly
higher, but packers and shippers
lowered their bids after word
reached the market that the long
expected ceilings had been impos-
ed. Closing quotations were off 10
to Is cents a hundred pounds from
yesterday.
Before issuance of the freeing
order, best hogs sold at $13.75
hundred pounds. This equalled the
peak on August 6, 1887. The pre-
vious high was established Oct.
Is, 1926, at $3.50. Average price
yesterday, at 1882 was the high
est in is years.
Up to this week hogs had ad-
vanced for seven consecutive
weeks, one of the longest sustained
upturns in market history On Dec
5, 194l, before America entered the
war, top price was 5000 and av-
erage price 1892.
Officials Of leading meat pack
ing companies generally approved
Henderson's action, expressing
confidence that there was no in
tention to interfere with the indus
try's manufacturing and servicing
processes.
John Holmes, president of Swift
and company, said it would be
the company's policy Ito carly
out the order in its entirety and to
cooperate fully with the govern
ment departments concerned"
George A. Eastwood, president
Of Armour and company, said
"stabilization of wholesale pork
prices. will tend to stabilize
also the prices which consumers
pay for pork cuts. and the prices
producers obtain for live hogs.
at levels fair to BOTH
: Livestock men waited anxiously
for the producers reaction to the
order. They pointed out that in
; recent weeks, whenever there was
talk of imposing ceilings, farmers
promptly reduced their shipments
to major centers.
If the freezing order is main-
tanned through the war, trade
, circles said, it will keep pork quo
! tations well under levels at tanned
during the first world war. Some
pork cuts rose as high as so 1-2
cents a pound wholesale here in
, February, 1918 they said.
The ceiling on resh pork 1oins
here, on the basis of the order,
is set at 27 IL cents a pound
: These cuts sold today at 26 to 27
! cents.
Trade circles also said that If
the order restrains live hog prices,
they will be well under the first
world war tops. The monthly av-
erage price for hogs in September,
1918, was $1965 and the all-time
, high monthly average hit $21.85 in
July, 1919. 3
