will be fairly broad. Since total feed
grain supplies will be excessive, how
ever, any Improvement in prices is
likely to be relatively small.
FLAxSEED prices are holding at
the government support level New
crop pressure will be at its peak in
the next month or six weeks. The
total supply is 81, 800,0 900 bushels, or
about 25 percent over last year.
SEED prices have strengthened
because of indications of small crops
of alfalfa, clovers, timothy, red top
and blue grass as a result of wet
weather which caused harvest time
losses or prevented proper filling.
Alfalfa seed for fall planting is re-
ported to be quite carce. Growers
sold early seed crops at a faster rate
and at higher prices than last year.
DAIRY PRODUCT prices probably

Markets at q Glance

Economic activity-Employment and con-
sumner income remain near all-time high.
Cattle-Choice steer prices may hold UP
for a while but good grade seems to be turn
ing downward.
Hogs-Downward trend probably will start
within 80 days.
Lambs-Range producers are reported to be
holding eve lambs to rebuild flocks.
WooI-Price outlook appears to be turning
less favorable.
Wheat-Owing to increase in supply over
early season timates any rise over loan
value will be quite small.
~Corn-Prices for new crop delivery are about
10 percent below prospective loan rate.
Oats-Moderate price improvement is prob
able in late fall after rest of crop is under
cover.
Flaxseed-Total supply is about 40 percent
over actual utilization in past season.
Seeds-Wet weather has reduced crop pros
poets for major legume and grass seeds.
-Feeds-Trend of prices for oil meals, corn
feeds and apimal protein feeds probably Will
continue
Hay-Goo pastures are cutting down utili-
cation of hay.
Dairy products-High prices are checking de-
cheese.
Eggs-Price trend probably will be mode
rately higher in next two months.
feeding ratio favors
feeding chickens and turkeys to strong weights;
winter broilers are likely to be profitable.
crop prospects Will
keep prices down to support levels which
rise IS to 10 cents per 100 pounds from Sep
TENDER to March.
A-ppIes-Prices probably will rise from OPEN
ing levels for fall and winter varieties.

EMPLOYMENT and total personal

reached in June, but numerous
currents have created uncertainty as
to the future trend of economic ac-
tivity. Bumper crops have already
Topped off much initiation from prices
for grains and cotton-a trend which
probably will extend to meat ami

The durum wheat supply is S.
10000 bushels compared with 3d.
10000 last season. Mills ground 49,
100000 bushels in the past season
and total disappearance, including
exports, was 43, 5000 bushels.
Hence, supplies this season appear
quite ample.

prices have declined about so per-
cent from the peak last winter.
Moderate improvement is probable
in late fall and early winter after the
remainders of the crops are under

take grain out of storage to sell ex-
cept at somewhat higher prices. De-

Market Outlook
By GILBERT GUSLER

year. Pressure to move these stocks
will tend to reduce fall prices.
The hog-corn ratio will continue
highly favorable for the next IL to
18 months. Close selling of older
hogs and of new crop hogs as fast as
good weights are obtained appears
advisable in the next 80 to so days.
After the fall price decline begins to
level off, carrying hogs to heavier
weights to make up for the shortage
in numbers probably will pay. Since
breeding for spring filters in 1949
probably will be increased mate
rally, early filters which can be
marketed in late summer next year
are likely to be especially profitable.
LAMB prices probably will con-
tinue to work lower for the next 80
to 60 days because of the fall move
ment and increasing competition
from other meats and poultry. The
supply will be lighter than in pre-
vious years because of the extremely
small crop so that prices will remain
relatively high.
Prices for feeder lambs probably
will decline less than fat lambs be-
cause of broad buying to use album
dant fall forage and the record sup
ply of feed grains. Reports from the
range indicate active demand for
breeding ewes, yearling ewes and
eve lambs with a tendency to sell
old ewes from range holdings and
hold a large proportion of the w
lambs for requirements.
WOOL markets have become ex-
tremely quiet. Mills are well stocked,
growers and dealers have relatively
small holdings remaining and uncer-
tainty over the outlook appears to
be growing. Prices are showing an
easier trend on some spot woods as
well as in wool and tops for future
ketS.
WHEAT prices appear to be sta
bilizing moderately below the loan
level. They probably will rise to or
slightly above the loan value by mid
winter. Movement of the new crop
will soon begin to subside and step
ping up of exports and the current
high rate of milling will gradually
bring the supply within the limits of
available storage space.
The crop and carryover total about
125, 900, 900 bushels more and use as
feed will be less than expected two
months ago, however. 1t is doubtful
if exports can be increased by an
equivalent amount so that any price
rise above the loan value later in
the eason is likely to be small I'M
less conditions turn unfavorable for
the 1949 crop.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-09-01

will rise less than usual during the
fall months. Owing to good early
fall pastures, an abundance of grain
and favorable feeding ratios, pro-
duction probably will decline less
than usual in this period. 1t prob
ably will continue lower than last
year, however, since the number of
milk COWS on farms is 4 percent less
than last year and the smallest in
II years. Production of butter is
running a'little larger than last year
and cheese production is about 2
percent less compared with de-
creases of 20 to Is percent for both
earlier in the year.
EGG prices probably will main
tain an upward trend for the next
two months. Production is slacken-
ing and is below current consump-
ton and moderate Withdrawals are
being made from storage. Prices for
lower grades appear to be moving
above the government support buy
ing level. Production is expected to
remain less than last year due to a
reduction of 4 percent in number of
layers and 9 percent in pullets not
yet of laying age on farms on Aug.
l compared with last year.
CHICKEN prices probably will be
steady to slightly lower during the
fall. Offerings of springers from farm
flocks will increase, although the in
crease will be partly offset by
smaller numbers of commercial
broilers. Competition from other
meats will increase after September.
TURKEY prices are expected to
be at an exceptionally favorable
ratio to feed costs this fall, which
will encourage feeding to heavy
weights.
POTATO production probably will
be considerably larger than domestic
markets will absorb at support
prices. Intermediate and late crops
combined were estimated as of Aug.
l at 3 percent over last year and 1
percent over the 1937-46 average.
Present prospects probably are better
than on Aug. 1. Government sup
port purchases for export as flour
and for diversion to starch factories
and to livestock feeding will con-
tinue necessary to maintain prices.
The September support level
varies by states from $2.25 to $2.85
per 100 pounds for u. S. No. / in
new bags fob. country shipping
points.
APPLE prices probably will rise
gradually from the starting levels
for the main crop.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-09-01

flationary force during the war, the
federal government is spending
somewhat less cash than it is taking
in. With cheaper food looming up,
the chance of a fourth round of wage
increases and industrial price rises
is being reduced.
CATTLE of choice and prime
grades probably will hold near cur
rent levels a few weeks longer and
the top may go slightly higher, but
prices for the good grade appear to
be turning downward. Medium and
common grades probably will con-
tinue the lower trend which began
in the last several weeks.
Numbers on feed in the cornbelt
are estimated at IL percent less than
last year and the second smallest on
record. Only q percent had been
on feed over z months compared
with 20 percent a year earlier. Hence,
supplies of long-fed cattle will con
tinue scarce.
However, the current premium for
finish will stimulate high pressure
feeding of old and new corn and
early selling, SO that supplies of
warmed up and shortfed cattle prob
ably will begin to increase in the
next 80 to so days. Supplies of grass
cattle will be at the years peak in
this period.
Prices for stocker and feeder cat
tie may decline moderately during
the fall, but probably will hold up
better than prices for most slaughter
grades. Record feed supplies are GER
tain to mean active buying of all
suitable feeding stock. In the range
states, strong demand is reported
with indications that the fall move
ment of cattle and calves will not
be as large as last fall.
HOG prices probably will turn
downward in the next SO days. The
high point may already have been
passed. A downward trend from the
late summer peak usually starts by
the last half of September. 1t may
be delayed slightly this year by
holding to use new corn. Storage
stocks of pork on Aug. l were about
100, 100000 pounds larger than last

.2,064 NLRB Cases Filed
In December, Set Record

The National Labor Relations
Board announced today that a rec
ord breaking total Of 2,064 cases was
filed with Its offices during Decen1-
Der. The number of petitions for
shop elections of various types also
was unprecedented.
The rush of cases, greatest IN the
12-year history OF the board, repre-
sents 40 per cent increase over the
November total.
Robert N. Denham, NLRB general
counsel, who has charge Of board
field offices and the processing and
prosecution of cases, attributed the
record total partially to the fact
that a number of the larger unions
held off until recently using the
NLRB under the Taft Hartley Act.
Some of the big unions still have
not filed non-C Communist afddavits
and other documents required by
the labor law.
OF the 1904 cases filed last month,
SO per cent, or 1925, involved petit
lions for various types OF elections,
most of them for recognition as bar
gaining agents or for the union
shop. Unions filed 178 charges OF
unfair labor practices against EN-
ployers, while employers filed 81
such charges against unions.

Symphony Fund Drive
Kickoff Self Feb. 3

A kickoff" luncheon for COM
mittee chairmen and workers, to be
held February 3 in the Mayiower
Hotel, will launch the National SYM
phony Orchestra Associations 1948
sustaining fund campaign which has
a goal of $165,000.
This sum Is necessary to maintain
Washington's orchestra without q
deficit through next season. The
campaign will run through Febru-
airy 20.
Edward Burling, IT,, q member OF
the National Symptoms Board OF
Directors, has accepted the chair
manship of the fund drive. A part
ner of the law firm of Covington,
Burling, Rublee, Acheson and Shorb,
and a member Of the District Bar
Association, Mr.. Burling occupied
the same position in the orchestras
campaign organization OF a year ago.
He also has been prominently iden-
titled with Community Chest and
Red Cross drives.
In accepting the craftsmanship,
Mr.. Burling said the forthcoming
campaign can be a success only If
every member of the community
lives up to his responsibility Of
supporting one of the most impor-
tant parts of the cultural life of the
Nations Capital.
THE National Symphony Orches-
ira is not CRYING wolf, wolf,'" Mr..
Burling said. 1.-THE orchestra's Ad-
ministration Committee has stated
that every cent of the sustaining
fund goal of $165,000 must be raised
if the National Symphony is to con-
tinue to fulfill its vital function in
the life of this city beyond the cur
rent season."

Mr.. Lewis has asked that it be used
to pay $100-a-month pension to

Under the court rules, Mr.. Lewis
may take 20 days in which to answer

chooses to join in it, At this stage
the operators are not hopeful ot
that development.
