of which touched peaks for the
year or longer before meeting sales
resistance, numerous stock market
leaders today operated in losing
territory.
Issues of companies with good
peace prospects continued to at

idea the invasion would be success
full and that a conclusion of the
European conflict might come
sooner than expected. Some Gus

were trimmed elsewhere, however,
to await more definite news from
the fighting fronts.
Specialties such as Packard
turned over in blocks running to
$4,000 shares before midday. Rails
were heavy. The pace slowed even
tually and fractional declines were
in the majority near the close.

VIA Extends Hog
Weights on Program

To protect hog growers who are
unable to market at present and
are forced to feed above 800
pounds, the VIA has made tenn
porary extension of the price sup
port program to include good and
choice butcher hogs weighing
300 to $50 pounds. The second ex-
tension of the support program
became effective on Jan. Z. To
help prevent market gluts the
price support limit was temper
arily raised to 800 pounds on
Dec. % from the original an
nounced range of 200 to 270
pounds. The move should encour-
age more orderly marketing and
help relieve market congestion.
It is not intended as an induce
ment to feed hogs to heavier
weights and is purely emergency
measure that will be cancelled
when the emergency has passed.
Growers are urged to keep hogs
weighing less than 200 pounds off
the market until the market con-
gestion is relieved.
