recent lows. Active American buy
ing is reported. Other foreign pri-
mary markets also show upward
trends.
WFEAT-Prices probably viii be
mainly steady to higher in the next
two or three months. Pressure from
the spring wheat crop is past the
peak. Weather has reduced slightly
the millable portion of the crop.
Holding by producers, fair milling
demand, large export program and
stability in general commodity mar
kets viii contribute to price strength.
Freer selling by producers when
prices rise moderately over the loan
value less handling charges and COM
pletion from the large Canadian crop
probably viii prevent any big addi-
tiona1 rise.
FEED GRAINS-Prices probably
will work moderately higher during
the late fall and winter. New crops
and carryovers total only about $780,
100000 tons compared with 156, 2O0,-
600 tons last season when utilization
for feed, food, seed, export and in
dustrial purposes was about 127,-

Markets at a GIonce

Demand-Steady to higher trend in con-
sumner income is probable in fan and early
CattIe-Long probably win continue
scarce; short-fed supply is likely to increase
soon.
Hogs-Big increase In receipts as bulk of
crop natures is likely to depress prices to late
November early December low point.
Lambs-Price trend probably win be steady
to higher in next few months.
WoOi--World prices have rallied sharply.
Boston quotations are up 8-10 cents a grease
Wheat-Declining receipts, large export pro-
gram probably Will cause moderate addi-
tional price rise.
Feed Grains-Reduced supply increased
livestock needs and government holding prob
ably will tighten markets later on.
Flaxseed-Steady to slightly higher prices
probably are ahead.
Seeds-Reduced crops win largely or fully
offset heavy carryoYers.
Feedstuffs-UsuaI trend Is up from October
to December January.
Hay-Prfces are lower than last year IN
cornbelt and northeast. higher in most other
areas.
Dairy Observation-Disclosures production prob
ably win push prices up in next month or
six weeks
EsEs-Prices probably win soon start sea-
sonal decline. Pullet production is increasing.
PouItry-Low prices are causing curtailment
by commercial broiler plants.
PotatOes-Moderate supply and good de-
mand probably will cause steady to higher
trend.

Many early contracts for range
lambs were made by spectators and
have not yet been taken up by actual
finishers.
WOODWORK prices appear to

turned strong with advances of 20
to 80 percent, sometimes more, over
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1951-10-15

CATTLE - Prices probably will
continue steady to strong for top
grade cattle and steady to weak on
the middle and lower grades in the
nearby future. Total receipts have
increased to the largest volume since
January, but remain substantially
lower than last year. The increase
has consisted mainly of lower grades.
Long-fed, highly finished cattle
have become increasingly scarce.
Large diversion to feedlots has held
down the total slaughter supply.
With packer demand weakened by
the OPS drive to enforce the drove
cost ceiling, prices for some grades
have dropped 81 to So cwt. below
recent peaks. Receipts of extreme
low grades probably will begin to
diminish by late November, but the
supply of short-feds probably will
soon begin to increase.
Demand for stocker and feeder cat
tie has slowed and prices have de-
clined 81 to So a cwt. at some mar
kets. Many finishers have their feed
lots largely filled so that further buy
ing may be less urgent. The extreme
asking prices reached in September
scared out some buyers.
Frost damage to the corn crop has
not been extensive enough to cause
any material additional demand for
feeder cattle. Most of the range cat
tie have been contracted, but many
of the smaller producers are reported
still to have cattle for sale.
HOGS-The main trend of prices
probably viii be down until late No
vember or early December. Aided
by increases in many of the pork
ceilings, prices recovered about half
of the late summer break brought
about by the record early movement
of spring pigs. Bulk of the crop is
not yet ready for market and some
hogs probably are being held back to
use soft corn. But, receipts will IN
crease so to IS percent in the next
two months and pork prices are
likely to drop below ceilings for a
time.
LAMBS-Prices probably will be
steady to higher in the next two or
three months. Offerings will decline
moderately from the October level.
Average finish will improve after
| another month &c fed lay,,I,c rovI.o.
the dwindling supply of grass-fat
lambs. Pelt values probably viii i'm
prove from both longer growth Of
wool and from some recovery in wool
prices.
Feeder lamb prices have declined
moderately. The premium over fat
lambs led sellers to divert as many
as possible into feeder channels.

SCHOOL LEVY PASSES; 5 COUNCIL men
AN EDITORIAL
OUR COUNCIL

The present six Lonoon City Council will be replaced by
council January f The people OF London have
their choice whom they wish TO represent them tor
the years We offer herewith suggestions which
hope the council will accept helpful and constructive
First feel that the council should adhere TO the
vous practice of placing ordinances three separate readings
that the public may be informed of the councils intentions
the passage of ordinance unless ii be ACTUAL
EMERGENCY The council has passed 20 ordnan
ces years and Of them have been EERGENcY
ordinances We have objected TO these sfeamroer tactics We
have told that if the public not satisfied they need only
petition council within limited time and the matter might be
recondeed Experience shows that when legislation has been
hurried through by the OF susPendng rules il
difficult TO back-frack.
Secondly feel that all department heads police chief fire
chief and Others be given full authority and responsibility for
their departments Each department head must and should be
responsible to the council for his actions and those OF the
infeered in departmental affairs going over the
heads of the police and fire chiefs by influencing city employ
directly turn certain city employees the depart
ment head directly TO favorife councilman.
Thirdly would like to the council publish financial
port several times We feel that such statement
necessary for the public welfare Under the mode Of
duct which has been used by the council it impossible
get the facts and the figures e spending of public funds
particular We cite the expenditure of labor and
money to build the city and township gsraee North Walnut
street The council appropriated certain OF cash for the
project but ii unknown how much city labor being used
the ob For all practical the council spending only
certain amount of cash but they do consider CITY labor
part OF the cost Matter of fact the council did The
sfeadasy held to he premise that they BUILDING with
tree labor II is that private contractor would have
completed the building long Instead the construction ooes
on and on piece by piece and at what unknown eos+7
Lastly we pledge the council cooperation aood
fah The council must realize that lob which re-
ques facts We feel that TO the citizens Of our town

i OUR
"a TOWN

Our Football Contest is
very successful, we think, and
this supposition is further inn
pressed upon us by the fact
that we received entries from
all over the country and last
week we got two entries via
air mail from Leesburg and
Pensacola Florida! John ".
Dillon, stationed with the
Navy at Pensacola and Betty
Mathis of Leesburg both sent
us their selections. Although
they didn't win this time we
nevertheless thank them for
participating. Reminds me
that once was in an auto
wreck at Leesburg and spent
about week in the hospital
at Ocala which is but a few
miles away. Best time / ever
had in hospital. Matter Of
fact 1t was a very hospitable
hospital!

Old Haywood Snugg, the
woman's home companion
and the guy who put the

that as far as he can see,
if they give women equal
rights, it'll be quite a come
down for the fair sex!

ARMlSTlCE
All of the veterans organi-
cations are working hard for
a proper Armistice Day pro-
gram up at the Court House.
Take off a half hour Monday
at IL o'clock and attend. 1t
is small thing to do and
it will make a better person
Of you if you'll take the time
to honor our dead of all wars.
Local schools will dismiss
early SO that the children
can attend. Many of these
same kids will be fighting in
a few years no doubt SO you
can do them the honor of
just being there.
