markets where initial sales have
been firm to 5 percent over June
levels but below last seasons high.
While mill utilization in the United
States may have passed the peak, it
will remain relatively high and sub
stantial purchases of foreign woods
will be necessary before another do
nestle clip will be ready. This will
help to sustain prices in southern
hemisphere markets but may not
lead to a further rise over recent
record high levels.
WHEAT prices may hold near re-
cent low levels for the next few
weeks, but are likely to work up

apparent that the market is tighten

storage situation. Receipts have de-
clined sharply at winter wheat mar
kets. Large exports scheduled for
September and October and a con-
tinued high rate of milling will re-
duce the pressure still further.

indications are that growers are

SEPT. 7. ls4s


MOST ANALYSTS seem to be-
feve that current levels of consumer
buying power will continue during
the rest of 1948 and early 1949.
The outlook is becoming more
two-sided, however. Lower prices
for farm products as a result of in
creased crop output, indications that
production has more than caught
up with demand in some soft goods
industries, especially textiles and
shoes, and Tightening of installment
credit are symptoms that the infla-
tionary boom may be running out
and that, while activity is likely to
continue high for some time, a fur
Their upsurge is unlikely.
In the past, economic activity in
the United States has shown a pro-
nounced cyclical behavior. The pres
ent upward phase has already lasted
much longer than most economists
deemed possible. Hence, activity
may round the top of the cycle in
the next IL months.
CATTLE prices for practically all
classes and grades probably will
work lower during the next two
months. Prime steers probably will
lag behind and may hold near re-
cent top levels for a few weeks.
Prices for good and most choice
slaughter cattle probably are already
past their peak. The favorable feed
ing ratio with new corn is encourag-
ing active movement of cattle into
feedlots, and is likely to lead to a
flood of shortfeds a little later on.
Early October often has been the
end of highest fall prices, especially
in years of large corn crops. Excel
lent grazing. has caused holding of
lighter cattle on pastures and ranges
and reduced August supplies, but
with leases running out and the
frost date only a few weeks ahead
the major movement of grass cattle
will occur in the next go days.
HOG prices probably will begir
a downward trend in the next 81
days to a low point in early winter
The autumn decline usually start
in September in years of large corr
crops. Light receipts in the last tw,
months were partly due to holding
back to use some new corn; hence
receipts are likely to pick up rathe
rapidly in the next few weeks wit
producers rushing to market to bea
the fall price drop. Pressure to Sc
the rather large storage stocks prob
ably will contribute to the decline
LAMB prices probably will cor
tinue weak for the next 80 to 6

probably will increase 10 to 20 pei
