Ter and the smaller companies.
Chrysler had dropped from about
~ per cent and the combined
output Of the smaller companies
from approximately 10 per cent.
None or the industry analysts
win predict that Chrysler and
the smaller concerns win regain
all the volume they lost last year.
Many Of them do say. however.
that Chrysler has q good chance
Of regaining some of it. They
add that mergers among the

CHICAGO. Jan. l.-cattle
prices remained unusually stable
throughout 1854 while hog prices
dropped sharply. although not as
sharply as some livestock men
had expected. after mid-year.
Sheep and lamb prices were
lower than last year, rejecting
e 8 per cent increase In the lamb
crop.
Looking toward the future, the
Agriculture Department pre-
dicted prices Of feed cattle next
spring and summer are likely
to be almost the same as this
year"
The department expected hog
prices to average below q year
ago throughout this winter. re-
fiecting a boost in the autumn
pig crop estimate. Prices for
later next year win depend In
part on the size Of the 1855
spring pig crop.
Stability in cattle prices
largely reflected relatively or
derby marketing, at least In COM
parison with the deluge Of forced
sales created by the drought In
1863 However. total market
ings were above 1858. High
price for the year was set at
Chicago on April 5 at $3.50.
At the start of the year the
number Of cattle and calves on
farms and ranches totaled nearly
"a million head--a new all time
record. AS q result of heavy
cattle slaughter. the number on
farms today Is estimated . little
below a year ago.
Cattle feeders who bought cat
tie In the autumn of 1853 and
sold them In the spring and
summer Of 1854 made larger
profits than usual, according TO,
the Agriculture Department. As
q result, feeders were more con-
fident this past fall than Q year
earlier about future prices.
One reason for fairly heavy
cattle marketings was lessened
interest in further expansion Of
beef COW herds in the Eastern
corn belt and Of milk cow herds
In some regions that produce
cream or manufacturing milk.
At the start OF the year hogs
on farms totaled 40 million
head. the smallest number since
1888. This was II per cent be-
low a year earlier and "A tper
cent smaller than the 1943-52
average.
As q result Of the small sup
ply, hog prices were high as the
year started. A top Of $27.25 In
Chicago in January was the peak
for that month since 1913. On

tween Chevrolet and Ford for

spot for most Of the last two
decades.
a possible obstacle to another

ahead lies In the threatened
showdown between labor and

At that time one Of the major
companies probably will be asked

ously could hamper production

may have some significance In
this connection is that the OBJ

more generally as q guaranteed

Goal of the campaign is to re.
move unsightly litter and trash
from roadsides, parks and other
places in the county and it's COM
munities. Long time objective is
to have every person in Montgom-
cry County become litter con-

criminate disposal of rubbish on
highways, farms, homes and pub
lie places.
Motorists are asked to estab.
fish a practice of carrying paper
bags when on family outings as
receptacleS for Kleenex tissues,
candy and chewing gum wrap
pers, paper cups, fruit Feelings,
ETC., with proper disposal made
of the bags during or at the end
of the trip. This practice alone
would eliminate two-thirds of
