Markets at q Glance

SuppIy-World production of farm produce
has regained most of decline due to war.
Cattle-Numbers on feed on Jan. / were 10
percent over last year and largest on record.
Hogs-Drop in receipts probably will bring
brief later winter or early spring rally.
81 of Is percent below last
year in number on feed indicates strong late
winter market.
Wool-MiIl of fine and half
blood staple woods has declined sharply.
. at-Produ selling probably will be
farther above loan value.
Corn-Increased purchases for export are
absorbing large country offerings.
Flaxseed-Government offerings probably
Will hold prices at support prices.
Seeds-Dealers want more alfalfa seed for
spring trade but show little interest in clov-
erS.
Byproduct Feeds-Prices are relatively
higher than for farm grains but well bal
anced rations remain advantageous.
Hay-Price changes probably will vary
greatly, depending on local supply.
Dairy Products-Milk-feed ratio will con-
tinue favorable but butterfat-feed ratio prob
ably will remain below average.
crease in early pullets for laying flocks next
fall.
Poultry-Heavy commercial broiler supply
probably will cause steady to weak trend on
other classes.
Turkeys-Growers plan to increase 1s4s
crop by rs percent.
Potatoes-Jan.- 1 stocks were estimated at
rs, 1000 900 to IS, 600, 900 bushels more than re-
Quirements.
~AppIes-Storage stocks are one-third below
average; price outlook continues strong.

Market Outlook
By GILBERT GUSLER

WORLD OUTPUT of farm pro-
duce is practically up to the prewar
volume. The harvests of 1913 prac-
tically ended the extremely severe
shortages of farm crops, due to dis
ruption of agriculture in wartorn
and to the postwar lack of
machinery, fertilizer and power.
Percentages of change in world
production in 1948 from the prewar
average, mostly 1859, were as
follows.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-02-01

brought severe losses to many cattle
feeders and has shut off demand for
feeder cattle. Purchases on the
break appear much safer than those
made last fall. If the decline in
prices for fat cattle levels off, some
Improvement in stocker and feeder
prices is probable toward spring.
The supply of stock cattle is likely
to be inadequate for graziers' re-
quirements.
HOG prices probably will have a
moderate rise in the next few weeks.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-02-01

Receipts are likely to decline 80 per-
cent or more in this period. Lower
retail prices have stimulated the
movement of pork into consumption.
The late winter price upturn prob
ably will be rather small and short
lived. Pushing hogs for market be-
fore mid-April appears advisable.
LAMBS on feed on Jan. l were Is
percent fewer than last year, 40 per-
cent fewer than the high record six
years ago and the fewest since 1925.
Prices for both lambs and sheep
probably will be steady to strong
in the next two months. Market
supplies will reflect the small num-
Der on feed. Owing to recent Sc
we're weather, California springers
probably will not be ready for mar
ket quite as early as usual. How
ever, the same influence may delay
finishing the older lambs on feed
in the western states. Stronger prices
for competing meats probably will
aid lamb prices in the next month or
two. Because of the discount for
weight, lambs should not be carried
to more than about 105 pounds.
WOOL prices probably will be
fairly steady in the next two or
three months. Demand for wool
clothing has diminished and mill
utilization has declined rather
sharply compared with a year ago.,
but mill consumption probably is
still more than twice the rate of
domestic production, which is being
reduced further by u~nfavorable
weather.
WHEAT prices probably will be
steady to slightly higher in the next
few weeks, but are likely to rise only
slightly above the loan level. Fol-
lowing the early winter increase in
sales, offerings by producers prob
ably will be lighter until prices
have had a moderate recovery.
Government buying has declined
materially, but may increase again
as more vessels become available in
March, unless the government ia

Recovery in world production of
meats and dairy and poultry prod
ucts is much slower than for crops.
Partial information indicates that
output of these foods in 1913 was
10 to Is percent below prewar.
On a calorie basis, world supplies
of foods per person are about up to
prewar levels in spite of an increase
of about 10 percent in the world pop
ulation in the last 10 years. Euro
pean countries are extracting IS per-
cent of flour from wheat compared
with II percent in the United States,
and a larger share of the coarse grain
and potato crops than formerly are
being used for human food instead
of livestock feeding. Also, produc-
ton of sweet potatoes. cassava and
some other crops for which world
estimates are not available is known
to have increased materially.
Agricultural production is not as
well distributed as in prewar years.
In the United States, it was 38 per-
cent larger in 1948 than the 1859
average, but it remains below pre-
war in some of the war ravaged
areas. Lack of buying power and
economic and political instability
hamper the movement from the
areas of abundance to areas of short
age both between countries and, in
some cases, within national borders.
Production probably will recover
further in countries which are still
below prewar and the wartime in
a in countries such as the
United States will tend to persist.
Farm SURPRISES probably will again
become a rather serious problem in
the next few years.
CATTLE prices for all grades ap-
pear to be due for some strengthen
ing in view of the drastic break.
Good steers are down over $12 per
100 pounds, or about one-third, from
the peak last summer, and are about
one-fourth lower than a year ago.
Supplies of beef and of all meats are
smaller than last year.
Price weakness in the face of the
smaller supply indicates some de-
cline in consumer buying power and
a tendency to spend a smaller per-
centage of available income for
meat. In the last two or three years,
consumers have spent nearly Z per-
cent of their income for meat COM
pared with a former average of 5
percent. Beef supplies probably will
decline moderately in the next 80
to so days and total meat supplies
are likely to drop 20 to 25 percent.
Numbers of cattle on feed on Jan
1 were estimated at 10 percent over
last year and the largest On record
Since cattle were sold exceptionally
early last year, the increase in the
supply of better grades during the
next three or four months over las
year may be considerably less thar
the number on feed indicates. Sup
plies of other cattle probably will bt
lighter than last year.
The drastic price decline ha,

80, 1852.
In his first major speech since
returning two weeks ago from a

Mr.. Hoffman disclosed that the

However, he cautioned that full
filling the target date 'is going

He spoke last night at a meet

AS a further means Of advanc-

He said this would be balanced by

He was the first scientist TO
