Market Outlook
BY GUSLER

mainly steady to higher in late fall
and early winter. The movement
from farms will continue to fall off
and large exports and a normal mill
ing rate will bring about steady
shrinkage in terminal market stocks
which have already begun to dimin-
ish. Up to the end of August 3d.
600, 600 bushels had been placed un-
der government loan and 100000
bushels had been signed by the CCC
under purchase agreements.
Substantial additional a m o s
have been impounded since that
date. Many farmers are holding
without loans and will not sell until
prices advance appreciably or until
they can sell in a new income tax
year. Owing to the prospect of a
of about 275, 000, 900 bush
els, however, prices are not likely to
rise much above the loan value.

Markets at a Glance

consumer incomes to average about as nigh In
1949 as in l948.
Cattle-Increasing supply OF shortfeds will
bring further price decline in late fall and
early winter.
Hogs-Prices probably will continue to de-
cline in next two months, although major
part of fall break is over.
Lambs-Moderate price rise Is probable over
next three or four months.
wooI-Mi1l buying Is small because OF slow
demand for goods
Wheat-Declining movement from farms and
shrinking market stocks probably will bring
moderate price upturn-

Flax ~Seed-Prices will remain at support
level; government continues as chief buyer.
Seeds-Total supplies of legume forage and
grass seeds appear small for next springs
needs.
Feeds-More profitable feeding ratios have
Increased demand for mixed feeds
Hay-Steady to slightly higher prices are
probable in late fan.
Dairy Products-U- S. department OF agri-
culture expects prices to average about same
In 1948 as in 1948.
Eggs-Prices Will round seasonal peak In
next month or six weeks.
Poultry-Increased commercial broiler OUT
put will offset most OF decrease In farm flock
supply.
Potatoes-Goyernment buying of surplus and
rising support level will bring higher prices
by winter.

World production of wheat this sea-
son is placed at $3.50, 600, 900 bushels,
which is s percent above 1947 and 4
percent over the 1859 average.
SEED prices probably will fluctu-
ate near current levels in late fall.
Total supplies of legume and grass
seeds probably will be rather light
compared with next seasons plant
ing needs.
DAIRY PRODUCT prices are ex-
pected by the u. S. department of
agriculture to average about the
same in 1949 as in 1948. Milk pro-
duction is expected to be slightly
larger next year. While farmers will
have fewer cows, dairy feeding ra-
tios will be more profitable and,

CONSUMER INCOMES will aver
age about as high in 1949 as in 1948,
if government economists views
prove to be correct.
The combined average of prices
for farm products, which was 6 per-
cent lower on Sept. Is than the C
ord peak in January, 1948, probably
will decline further in the next few
months, mainly as a result of lower
prices for meat animals, but, aided
by government supports and con-
tinued high buying power, it prob
ably will level off on a rather high
plateau.
CATTLE prices probably will
be mostly steady to lower during
the next two months. Although they
have already declined sharply, great
est weakness is likely to be shown
by shortfeds and by extreme low
grades.
Marketing of grassers will begin
to slacken IN the next 80 days but
the usual prewinter cleanup prob
ably will bring in a raft of extreme
low grades during late October and
November.
Prices for stockers and feeders
probably will weaken further as
prices for shortfeds decline, although
demand for feeders will remain rela-
lively broad. At the probable price
for new corn, the feed cost of gains
on cattle will be less than prevail
ing prices for fat steers. Hence, cat
tie can be fed with much less than
the usual margin between feeder
and fat cattle prices.
HOG prices probably will continue
a downward trend for the next two
months, although the 81 break in the
last eight weeks means that the ma
jor portion of the fall decline is over

Control System Under
.Anti-InfIation Law

Nv the Associated Press

President Truman, yesterday
split up among four Federal
agencies the task of creating
voluntary, industry-wide alloca-
ton programs for scarce items,
as provided by the Republican,
sponsored anti-inflation law.
Secretary of Agriculture Anderson
took over the program as it relates
to scarce farm products: Secretary
of the Interior Krug, all fuels; Di-
rector j. Monroe johnson OF the
Office of Defense Transportation
transportation facilities and equip
ment. and Secretary of Commerce
Hartman, all other products.
To forestall any hardships caused
by production cuts, MI. Truman's
executive order directed that "in-
dustry, labor and the public gener-
ally be granted opportunity for
hearing before an ALLEGATION agree
ment is made. s
Clark's Approval Needed.
The agreements will become ef-
fective only after approval by At
torney General Clark, Mr.. Truman
ruled. The industries then will be
immune to antitrust prosecution.
Under the Taft Wolcott bill signed
into law reluctantly by the Presi-
dent last Tuesday, the agreements
may provide voluntary priority, al
location and inventory controls over
scarce products which basically af-
feet the cost of living or industrial
production. Mr.. Truman, who had
asked for stronger wage and price
control powers, called the Repub-
lican bill "pitifully inadequate.
Except for its completely volun-
tary nature, the machinery out
lined by Mr.. Truman bears striking
similarity to the wartime ALLEGATION
system operated by the War Pro-
duction Board. 1t even authorizes
the creation OF industry advisory
committees" like those which aided

Committees to Be Set Up.
To coordinate and steer. the pro-
gram, Mr.. Truman instructed the
four officials to set up working
committee" of representatives from
each agency. These would choose
their own chairman.
Secretary Anderson, besides being
empowered to consult with farm
groups on agreements covering
agricultural products, was assigned
responsibility for voluntary curbs
on speculative trading on the COM
modify exchanges. He also was
directed to carry out the food and
feed conservation program author
lied by the law, in collaboration
with the Cabinet Food Committee.
The fuels assigned to Secretary
Krug, said the President, include
coal, coke, petroleum and petroleum
products, and natural and manu-
factured gas.
Secretary Harriman's broad field
of action apparently would include
steel, pig iron, nitrogen for fertilizer,
farm machinery and various types
of industrial equipment needed at
home or abroad.

ROME, Jan. 3.-The United States
and Italy today signed an accord
under which interim American aid
will be furnished the Italians to
tide them over until the Marshall
plan may become operative.
Premier Alcide de Gasperi and
Foreign Minister Carlo Sforza
signed for italy and Ambassador
James G. Dunn for the United
States. Similar agreements were
signed yesterday by Austria and
France which, like italy, have
pledged themselves to abide by con-
ditions set by the United States
Congress in voting the $522 ,000, 600
interim aid program.
Italy's share of the program is
expected to be somewhere between
$160, 900 900 and 5000, ,0o0, ,o0O The

Mrs. David Wallace, mother of

Roosevelt Plaque
Gets Last Niche

BY the Associated Press

LONDON. Nov. 12.-The second
memorial to President Roosevelt
dedicated this year in London will
be unveiled in Westminster Abbey
today.
The specially designed plaque is
a more modest symbol of remem-

1t will, however, be an unusually
significant memorial in that Mr..
Roosevelt will be the first head of
a foreign state ever so honored in
Westminster Abbey. Furthermore,
the plaque will occupy the last re-
naming niche in the abbey.
The Roosevelt niche is above the
roll of honor of civilian casualties
in the last war. &

by Prime Minister Clement Attlee
and former Prime Minister Winston
