Cattie-Lower prices for top grades steady
to higher prices for bottom grades are in pros
pect.
Hoss-FaH pig run probably will be heavy

Lambs-Prices for fed lambs and slaughter
ewes probably will rise in early spring

Wheat-Spring rise in prices Is likely 10
be small unless crop prospects decline.
Rye-With prices down to feed grain Ievea,
steady to higher market is probable
Feed Grains-Large utilization and loan inn
poundings of probably will strengthen
prices.
Fiaxseed-Large impounding may cause
tight market later in season.
Seeds-Shifting from higher-priced to lower
priced seeds may cause some price leveIling.
Feedstuffs-New chick and pig crops will tn
crease demand during spring.
Hay-Steady to weak prices are probable In
most areas.
Dairy Products-Increase of IS TO 35 per-
cent In milk flow will push prices TO support
levels which are slightly lower.
Eggs-Steady prices are probable la early

Poultry-Price improvement probably VIII

Potatoes-Support prices will average SC O.

pared with Australian woods which,
in dollars, are nearly back to the
peak year ago, while domestic
wool prices are substantially lower
than at that time. Mill utilization
continues at relatively high rate.
Imports of woods purchased last fall
are large, but will be needed.
wHEAT-Prices probably will adj
vance moderately In the next month
or two. The midwinter decline
placed prices in most areas below
the loan value where sales by pro-
ducers are likely to be small Export
sales have increased.
In the last three weeks, about TO-
100000 bushels have been taken un-
der the International Wheat agree
ment. Export purchases probably
will continue larger than in early
winter. Crop comments are slightly
less favorable with drouth only
partly relieved in the central and
southern great plains and some flood
and freeze damage and heaving in
the central and eastern states.
However, unless new crop pros
poets decline materially, prices are
not likely to advance as much as
last spring. Jan. stocks were 40,-
100000 bushels more than a year
ago and exports in January are
likely to be considerably less than a
year ago. The amount placed under
the support program up to Dec. 81
was less than a year ago. Unless a

Early springer supplies will be
small but may not sell as high as
year ago because of lower prices for
poultry. The California crop will be
light but the proportion ready for
slaughter in March and April may be
larger than last year or two years
ago. Prices for slaughter sheep prob
ably will reach seasonal peak in
April

prices are probable in the next
month or two Domestic woods ap-

Market Outlook
By GILBERT GUSLER


COMBINED DOMESTIC and ex-
port demand for farm products prob
ably will hold rather steady level
for several months to come, if the
coal miners return to work. Indus
trial production is largest since last
April, although it is shrinking in
some areas due to shortage of coal.
Prices received by farmers con-
tinue to lose ground relative to farm
costs. The index of prices received
was slightly higher in January than
in December, but was IL percent
lower than year ago and % percent
lower than the all-time high two
years ago.
The new parity index of prices
farmers pay, taxes, interest and
wage rates was 3 percent below a
year ago and S percent below its
peak IS months ago. Prices received
by farmers in January were only "a
percent of parity compared with an
average of lis percent OF parity in
1947, the high year.
CATTLE-Lower prices for good,
choice and prime grades, relatively
steady prices for medium grades and
steady to higher prices for common,
cutter and canner grades probably
are ahead. Although most finishers
are topping out their feedlots at me-
dunn or good grade, the proportion
of good steers is slowly increasing
and probably will rise gradually as
the feeding season progresses.
Stocker and feeder prices are
likely to be relatively strong in the
next two months Early demand for
grazing cattle is broad and offerings
are light. Both in the cornbe1t and
on the range, the tendency is to ex-
pand beef herds. Supplies of stock
cattle from Canada have been run
ming considerably less than year
ago and the spring supply which
formerly came from Mexico will
again be lacking.
HOGS-Prices may be somewhat
erratic in the next month or six
weeks, while rounding the late win
ter peak and adjusting to new
support level after March 81. Cur
rent prices are close to the March
support level, so that any further
rise is likely to be small, unless re-
ceipts are extremely light.
Since last falls pig crop was 10
percent larger than a year previous,
was farrowed earlier than usual and
probably has been pushed for early
sale, March arrivals are likely to be
rather heavy, especially in the latter
part of the month. Prices after
March will depend partly on the new
support level, but heavy selling in
March may lead to light supply in
early April.
LAMBS-Prices for fed lambs and
slaughter ewes probably will be
steady to higher in March and April
Supplies are likely to decline in this
period. Discounts for heavy lambs
will remain large and may increase

duce the commodities. We know
that, but our Department of Agri-
culture should put its most COM

PIMA IN MARKETING
Commodity groups represent
ing wool. grain cotton and to-
bacco decided 70 withhold their
fire on charges that USDA is
encroaching on the private field
OF marketing. when they ap-
peared before congress to testify
on the need for $4,000. 100000
increase of Commodity Credit
Corp. borrowing authority.
1t was realized that CCC would
need the additional authority to
guarantee farmers that price support
pledges would be carried out.
But the commodity groups haven't
relaxed in their attitude that CCC,
through the Production and Market
ing administration, is entering a
wedge in the field of private mar
keting of farm products.
At some opportune time in the
future, the question is expected to
be brought to a head with a full
scale explanation to congress of just
how PIMA is invading the marketing
field.
