date a year ago. World prices have
been strong. Higher price support in
prospect for the 1856 crop will tend to
maintain 1855 crop prices.
SEEDS-Prices probably will con-
tinue firm. Supplies of legume and
grass seeds are about one-eighth above
average, but stocks of winter cover
crop seeds are far below average.
Combined supplies of 27 seeds total
1888 million pounds compared with s.
year average usage of 9O3 million
pounds. Growers own a larger proper
ton of the supply of leading seeds than
usual. If the proposed ''soil bank" plan
should become effective this season,
usage of perennial seeds would be SUBJ
stantially increased.
DAIRY PRODUCTS - Prices will
gradually sag during the production in
crease in the next four months. They
will be about as high as year previ-
Gus unless support levels are changed
on April 1. Prices for bottling milk and
cream probably will have the largest
decline. Prices for lower grades of
butter not eligible for support will de-
cline more than better grades which
are already selling at or near support
levels.
Government support purchases of but
ter in 1855 were down so per cent and
cheese purchases were down SO per
cent from 1854. Recent increases in
production over a.year previous have
forced larger support purchases than a
year ago. Labor returns from cows will
be higher than in 1855. Prices for milk

POtatoes-Stocks 3.5 per cent over year

Montana farmer-stockman., 1956-02-01

cows and heifers probably will advance
moderately in the next few months.
EGGS-Prices are likely to work
slightly lower in the near future, then
move irregularly sidewise until March
or early April, but will be slightly
smaller than in 1855. Layer numbers
are down about per cent. Good con-
sumner demand, storage buying by
breakers, larger hatchery purchases
than a year ago and some shell egg
storage buying probably will hold
prices at good levels.
With current returns from eggs high
Iy attractive, farmers are buying Is to
20 per cent more early chicks for re-
placement pulletS than last year, so
that egg production is largely to be
larger and prices somewhat lower next
fall and early winter than they were
this season. Buying enough chicks to
maintain a normal number of layers
and starting them early seems to be
the best course.
POTATOES-Me stocks in
So states on Jan. 1 were estimated at
1911 million bushels against 1928 mil
lion bushels last season and a 1945-54
average of 1885 million bushels. Stocks
are still relatively heavy, but con-
tinued diversion to starch and flour
plants and to feed use and cutting out
under marketing agreement regulations
will hold down movement into table
market channels, so that recent price
gains may be maintained. Disappear
ance of potatoes thus far has been
greater than generally expected.

In the year beginning April 1, lamb
producers will be eligible for the wool
incentive payment based on live weight
sold. A subsequent owner will be eligible
for payment only on the weight he adds.
Payments will be made only on I'M
Shorn lambs.
WOOL - Prices probably will be
strong to slightly higher in the next
two or three months. Unsold stocks
other than government holdings and
foreign woods in bond are small. Thus
far, the governments monthly offerings
of 612 million pounds have been read
lily absorbed. Mill consumption contin-
ues moderately higher than year ago.
Foreign markets have been edging up
ward.
WHEAT - Prices have Ieveled off
following their fall and early winter
rise. Whether they will resume the
uptrend will depend on the amount
placed under support, changes Con-
gress makes in the farm program and
on whether drouth persists in the South
west. Producers may sell little more
freely at the start of a new tax year.
Loan entries through December Is
were only 22S million bushels against
351 million bushels a year previously.
Unless they were unusually heavy in
the final weeks, tightness in total ''free'
stocks in general is likely to be slight
However, free supplies of some class
es may run short.
Weather and political moves may
stimulate speculative holding that will
strengthen prices. Wheat in the central
and southern Great Plains is in a pre-
carious state because of a 14-week dry
spell. Some relief has just been re-
ceived and there is still time to restore
the crop if weather changes.

SIGNS MULTIPLY that the urban
boom will level off in the next few
months. The new year began with in
dustrial production at peacetime peak
about IL per cent greater than year
earlier However, factories have been
turning out goods faster than they were
bought.
Urban incomes have been rising to
a new high nearly every month and
consumers have spent so fast that con-
sumner short and intermediate term
debt increased nearly SIS billions in
1855 to new peak of around $35 bill
lion
Nevertheless, stocks of goods in fac
tory warehouses and on trade shelves
accumulated They totaled $81.3 bill
lions at the end of November against
$76.9 billions when 1855 began.
Auto production and housing starts
have already slackened and some other
factories are likely to slow down in
coming months to work off stocks on
hand or prevent further accumulation
CATTLE - Better prices for most
classes and grades probably are not
far ahead, but gains will be small.
Numbers on feed on Jan. were esti-
mated at 5,823, 900 head against $685.
900 year ago and a 1945-54 average
of 5,OO1, 900 head. The number that had
been on feed three months or more on
Jan. was up 80 per cent from a year
ago.
StOcker and feeder cattle prices prob
ably have started their seasonal climb.
In spite of mean fat cattle market
and drouth in the Southwest which is
forcing close culling and marketing of
some cattle, Texas reports an advance
of 81 cwt. in prices for light stock
cattle and calves since before the holi-
days. High asking prices retard trad
ing. Inquiries for young replacement
COWS are numerous and offerings are
scarce.
HOGS = The main trend of prices
probably will continue upward until
midsummer. Arrivals in January are
running substantially below the near
record supply in December and prob
ably will drop about One-third from
January to June or July. Packers will
bid aggressively until hogs are selling
substantially higher on hog product
values than they have been recently
Low prices for pork have stimulated
a high rate of consumption which con.
sumers will try to maintain until re-
tail prices are appreciably higher. II
spite of heavy slaughter, most of the
pork has been consumed. Less ha.
gone into storage than usual. Hog.
weighing 230 pounds or less are bring
ing premiums of so cents to 81 a cwt
over 24Os to 27Os and 81 and So ovel
those weighing 800 pounds and up.
LAMBS-Prices probably will NOV,
81 to 81 cwt. higher in the next three
months. Market supplies are likely f
decline 10 to Is per cent from January
to April and other meats will becom,
less plentiful. Numbers on feed OF
January l were per cent less thai
last year. Most of the decrease is il
the weston Cornbelt and southwestern
wheat pasture areas Although supple
are smaller, prices are likely to re
main lower than last season becaus
of cheaper beef, pork and poultry.
