Average Hogs Bring
More Than S13a
Hundred Pounds
Best Grades Range

On Chicago Market
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO, March 3.-Average
hogs brought more than sl3 hun
dred pounds and best grades sold as
high as $685. today as prices spurted
10 to 20 cents in an active market.
The s1335 peak was 10 cents a
hundred pounds above last weeks
top and established another new
four-year record. Average cost. at
about $3.50, was highest in more
than a decade.
Live stock circles attributed the
advance to an overnight cut in ship
ments and to continued strength of
dressed pork markets. The salable
run locally at $4,000 head was 1000
head below expectations.
There was no new word from
Washington regarding price con-
trolls. On February 25 Secretary of
Agriculture Wickard said hog prices
we're high enough" and the Gov
ernment faced the prospect of in
voking price controls Today's top
price was 10 cents and average price
about 25 cents a hundred pounds
above quotations prevailing when
Wickard made his statement.
Hog prices have advanced spec
tacularly in recent months. A month
ago top price was $12.40 and average
cost sl2.18. Two months ago top was
$11.75 and average $11.31 and three

NEW YORK, March 3.-Short
covering in handful of blue chips

feet today after leaders had ex-

While there was no particular rush
to buy in sold out issues, the fact

bellwether was pushed up about 8
points near the final hour, but lost
part of the gain. Brokers said the
short line in this issue was fairly
wide and, in view of the idea it had
dropped around SO points from its
1941-42 peak, those who wanted to
cover found it a bit difficult. Du
Pont, International Harvester,
Chrysler and Union Pacific were
among others that climbed point
or so at the best.
Dealings picked up for a while but
slow-downs kept the volume under
100000 shares.
Rails assayed a mild recovery sor-
tie at the start in the wake of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
ruling granting an average freight
rate lift OF. about per cent. The
majority soon faltered but steadied
eventually along with other groups.
The war picture was still none too
cheerful marketwise While reports
from the Southwest Pacific indicated
the Japanese drive in Java may
have stalled, the Burma situation
remained critical and the latest
sinking of United States destroyer
by a U-boat off New Jersey chilled
bullish sentiment to some extent.

The bond market was kept on a

Mr.. Cargile said the automobile

victory cars to meet essential needs
and still not interfere with defense

Churches have key role In the
civilian defense program. the Rev.
Francis McPeak. executive director
Of the social welfare department of
the Washington Federation Of
Churches. said today.
Facts about local churches, which
the department has compiled, are
proving of value in studying the
use of these edifices for feeding sta
tions, AFRAID shelter and emer-
gency bilieting, Mr.. McPeak said.
The reference material includes
maps showing the location of more
than 400 churches by census tracts
and data on the type of structure,
the number and kind of rooms,
kitchens, heating and other facili-
ties. Mr.. McPeak added:
Because they include well-knit
and smoothly functioning groups, as
we'll as because of their facilities,
churches may be expected to pro-
vide natural channels for many
civilian defense activities.
This has been shown very clearly
through the recent experience in
Great Britain, where the clergy and
pastoral workers of all kinds have
turned out unreservedly in the meet
ing of communal needs. Over there
they are writing a new chapter on
the scope of services which link
church to the welfare of its COM
munity.
Washington's defense will be dis
cussed by Chairman Randolph of
