markets, feeders are outselling fat
lambs. Many orders for breeding
ewes are untitled even though buy
ers are taking some broken-mouthed

for slaughter.
WOOL - Prices probably will
maintain the recent high level and
may possibly rise further. Offerings
are extremely small as most of the
clip is out of first hands. Mills are
fairly well supplied for the next few
months, but are purchasing particu-
lar lots to piece out their lines. Brit

Markets at q Glance

Observation-Disclosures forces will hold sway

prices for grassers, are probable in nearby
future.

percent from summer peak to early winter
low.

eve demand will support prices for slaughter
classes.
wooL-Domestic prices show 1886 percent
rise over pre-Korea level.

point for the season.

be upward through crop year.

at Minneapolis.

crops exceed last years
Feedstuffs-Fan low point in prices prob
ably will be reached in next month six
weeks.
Hay-Rain damage has reduced supply and
will increase feeding waste in some areas.
Dairy Products-Steady to slightly rising
prices are probable during fall drop in milk
flow.
Eggs-Top grades will soon pass price peak,
Chickens-Steady to slightly lower prices
probably ahead
Turkeys-Supply will be record high but
number of consumers and their buying power
are greatest ever.
Potatoes-Excessive crop will mean steady
to weak fall market.

mand and military needs are greater than

LAMBS ~ Prices probably will
fluctuate widely with slightly
lower trend in the next few weeks.
Supplies will increase moderately
from the peak movement of range
and cornbelt lambs. Prices of beef,
pork and poultry probably viii be
lower. The advance in wool has
raised the value of pelts, but the in
crease is already reflected in lamb
prices.
Continued strong demand and stiff
prices for the light offerings of feed
ing lambs and breeding ewes will
prevent much weakness in prices for

Market Outlook
By GILBERT GUSLER

IN SPITE OF the newly-voted eco
nomic control law, inflationary
forces will be on the loose in coming
months. Financing the government
deficit by borrowing from banks
will add materially to the money
supply. Employment has increased
nearly 100000 over the previous
record peak in 1948 and income per
person is the highest ever.
The general level of prices of
farm products probably will hold its
summer rise during the heavy mar
keting season in early fall. Farm
cash income, in July-August was
equal to, or perhaps little higher
than last year and, during the rest
of 1850, is likely to compare just as
favorably with 1949, the u. S. de-
partment of agriculture states. But,
farm expenses also are rising. Farm
net income may be about Z percent
less than in 1949.
CATTLE-Prices for better grades
probably will continue to seesaw
with sidewise main trend in the
near future If weakness prevails,
rebound late in the year is likely.
| Supplies of fed cattle probably will
continue heavy in the next few
weeks.
While the peak of the movement
of longfeds may. be passed by mid
| October, the supply during the rest
of the year is likely to be much
larger than a year earlier Steady
to weak prices are probable on
grassers during the peak movement
which will take place in the next
month or six weeks.
Steady to weak prices probably
are ahead for stockers and feeders.
Current prices for feeder cattle and
feed offer little margin of profit I'M
less fat cattle prices are higher next
winter and spring. The usual trend
is downward over that period. De-
mand probably will continue
stronger for light yearlings and
calves than for older cattle because
of the possibility of reducing cost
with cheap grass and roughage and
heading for the high late summer
market next year.
HOGS-Prices will trend down
ward for the next three months, and
are likely to drop around 20 percent
from the summer peak. The fall run
is expanding with receipts of new
crop light butcher hogs increasing
faster than supplies of sows and
old crop butcher hogs are declining
Arrivals will rise rapidly in the mex
30 days as producers will try tt
beat the fall price drop.
Receipts are likely to increase x
to 100 percent from early September
to mid-December. Supplies will b.
larger than last year, but prices are
likely to average higher because O
increased demand and higher price.
for competing meats. The hog-corr
price ratio is likely to remain fairly
profitable.
