MARKETS. An A eLANcE

Demand-City boom holds near peak, but
seems to be leveling off.
CattIe-Cattle population IS at record high,
1 per cent over year ago.
Hogs-Drop in supplies viii boost spring and
early summer prices.
Lambs-Stock sheep inventory on January !
was lowest since 1850.
WOOE-CCC offerings and new clip will put
pressure on spring prices.
Wheat-Small ''free'' stocks and possible soil
bank plan and higher loan rate are boosting
prices.
Feed Grain--Price Strengthening factors prob
ably will dominate spring market.
FIaxseed-Price has risen sharply with adj
vance in world market.
seeds-Price strength depends greatly on
whether "son bank plan is adopted
Feedstuffs-Steady to slightly higher prices
probably are ahead.
Hay-Shortages have developed in some bad
weather areas
Dairy Products-Props for manufacturing milk
and butterfat prices viii stay at past years
levels.
Eggs-Growers plan to buy 3 per cent more
replacement chicks, but early hatch is up 20-25
per cent.
PouItry-Continued rise in broler chick place
u1ents spell heavy spring market supply
Potatoes-Large supply probably will prevent
much further price rise.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1956-03-01


the driving force to reach higher levels
for the time being. Consumer income is
higher than ever before. High spending
has been partly on borrowed money,
however, and credit terms are tighter
than early last year, so that the urge
to spend has been weakened Slightly.
Consumer spending for food and cloth
ing continues at an all-time high. 1t
will hold near this level for the next
few months. The farm aid bill now be-
fore Congress provides increased funds
to boost domestic usage and exports of
farm surpluses. Hence, total demand
will be well sustained.
CATTLE - Prices for most classes
and grades probably will be mainly
steady to slightly higher in the next
two or three months. Markets have had
to absorb a large carryover of old
crop cattle, many of excessive weight,
and burdensome early supply of new
crop fed cattle. Arrivals will continue
large, but the peak of beef supplies
probably was passed in December and
January. Competition from other
meats will be somewhat less in spring.
Any drop in the beef supply is likely
to be most pronounced in the lowest
grades and possibly in long-fed heavy
cattle.
Slaughter of fed cattle appears to be
running about 10 per cent greater than
year ago, rejecting the increase in
numbers that had already had several
months of feed at the start of the year.
Total numbers on feed were only per
cent over a year previous. With
feeding results improbable, movement
Of cattle into feedlots since January
appears to have been less than year
ago. Hence, heavy current slaughter
is partly at the expense of summer and
fall supplies.
The cattle population on January 1
was / per cent larger than a year
previous and a new high record The
increase was in beef cattle In spite of
heavy slaughter Of cows and heifers in
1855, the beef COW inventory reached
a new peak. The 1855 calf crop of 43
million head was larger than ever be-
fore and another big calf crop is likely
in 1856. Hence, beef production and
market supplies of beef will continue
relatively large in the next two years
or longer.
HOGS-Prices had an extreme set
back from the. midwinter peak, but the
main trend probably will be upward
until midsummer. Arrivals have
dropped sharply since December and
competition from other meats is less
than at that time, but total meat sup.
plies are running 10 to Is per cent
larger than a year ago. In spite Of
heavy slaughter, only 482 million pounds
of pork had accumulated in storage uE
to February compared with sol mil
liam pounds year previous.
LAMBS-The main price trend proba
bly, will continue up for another month
or two but further gains are likely t,
be small. Total supplies probably vii
fall slightly in early spring, although
California spring lambs will soon begil
to move in volume and indications ar
that the proportion in slaughter flesl
will be greater than usual. Competi
ton from other red meats may shrinl
Montana farmer-stockman., 1956-03-01

further, but supplies of poultry will in
crease.
Trading in breeding stock on the
range is more active with eve lambs
at $2O5O to $22 cwt. and broken to
solid-mouth aged ewes at $11 to $13
head. In spite of the wool incentive
payment program, the stock sheep in
ventory on January 1 was 27,009,00O
against q, 137, 900 a year previous. It
was lowest since 1850.
WOOL - Prices probably will hold
near current levels in the near future,
but may dip slightly when new clip
woods become available in volume. De-
mand has slowed down in the last two
or three weeks.
WHEAT-Prices have been working
higher because of the chance the ''soil
bank proposal for reducing wheat acre
age will become effective for the 1856
season and that price support at 80
per cent of parity will be restored for
the 1856 crop The Presidents offer
to supply farm SURPRISES to Europe be-
cause of recent severe weather and
small free" stocks in some markets
also are contributing to price strength.
Rain and snow in the Southwest have
allayed drOuth fear as market factor
for while. Prices probably will con-
tinue strong for another month or SO,
if the ''soil bank plan is approved,
but decline from spring peak to a
midsummer low is to be expected
Support at 80 per cent of parity
would mean national average of about
s2.14 a bushel compared with $1.81
previously announced by Secretary Ben
son and support at $208 on the 1855
crop.
FEED GRAIN-A moderate uptrend
Of prices is probable in the months
ahead as result of increased con-
sumption, heavy use of corn loans, less
competition from government stocks
and, possibly, changes in the farm pro
gram that will reduce new crop acre
age. Apparent disappearance of feed
grains from harvest to January 1 was
about II per cent over a year previous
Livestock numbers are about pei
cent over a year ago with the prin
cipal increase in hogs which are heavy
consumers Of grain.
FLAXSEED - Prices have reached
the best level since harvest of the 1856
crop. Linseed meal prices have beeI
weak, but inseed oil prices have beeI
strong. World markets for flaxseet
have been rising and Winnipeg price
