increase in uve jiock
Marketings Predicted
E» the Auonited Pres*.
Plenty of beefsteak, pork chops
and ham and lamb will be avail
able for the public the rest of this
year and the first part of 1940, the
Agriculture Department reported
yesterday.
In a general summary ol the Na
tion's livestock situation, the Bu
reau of Agriculture Economics pre
j dieted that marketings of livestock
j in the next few months would be
larger than a year earlier
Most of the increase will be in
hogs and grainfed cattle, it was
said, because of the large corn crop
this year and the surplus corn car
ried over from last year's crop.
Drought conditions in the North- ■
east and Western range areas also
are expected to affect marketing,
i Cattle, sheep and lambs normally
fed in these regions will be marketed
in larger numbers.
The bureau predicted, however,
that the total number of hogs, j
cattle, sheep and other livestock on
farms at the start of the next year
would be larger than a year earlier.

Livestock Markets
Follow Irregular
Course in Week
Steer Prices Uneven,
Hogs Recover, but
Lambs Slump
The following review of the
livestock market for the week
ended August 17 was prepared
for the Associated Press by the
United States Department of
Agriculture:
CHICAGO, Aug. 19.—Mixed price
movement featured the livestock
markets this week. Medium weight
and heavy steers sold off 15-25c gen
erally, while good and choice light
yearlings held to steady levels. Hogs
made noticeable recovery from re
cent low levels, while spring lambs
received one of the season's most
severe price slashes. Top steers made
$10.30, yearlings $10.15. hogs closed
at $6.40 down, while the late lamb
top rested at $8.50, after having sold
up to $9.15 early in the week.
It was distinctly a fed steer and
yearling run in which good and
mime sihuf.s preuonnnawu, ana
buyers having numbers in their fa
vor tried diligently to enforce
sharply lower prices. But scarcity
of little cattle offset any bearish
ideas in that branch of the trade
and late sales reflected no import
ant price change Meanwhile, the
rank and file of the steer crop,
comprising medium weights and
weightly bullocks, escaped with a
15-25c downturn. Top of $10.30 was
paid Monday and a few loads sold
later at $10125. but there was little
here to sell above the $10.00 line. In
fact, it was a $9.00-9.65 market on
load after load of all weights in
eluding 1500 pounders at $9 25. Com
mon and medium grades were con
spicuously scarce, it being emphat
ically a run of fed cattle. Cows
were scarce and canner and cutter
grades made a 15-25c Advance which
was not received by the good and
choice quota. Several loads of light
heifers turned at $9.00-9.65, a few
head to $9.85, while grassy and grain
on grass offerings sold from $6.50
8 25. Few western grassers arrived
and there was also a limited amount
of business in the Stocker and feeder ,
division, mostly at prices ranging
downward from $9.00 to $6.50 and
below.
Hog Prices Recover.
After having dipped last week to
new low levels dating back to 1934.
hog prices turned upward early in
the week and closed at the high
point of the period.
Weights 180 lbs. down finished
steady to 25c higher, while heavy
butchers and sows gathered a 40
50c advance, top standing at $6 40
Thursday.
Late sales of good and choice 180
270 lbs. Were mostly at $5.95-6.35
with heavier butchers at $5.40-600.
Having been punished more se
verely than other hogs in the re
cent decline, butchers and sows
made a corresponding recovery this
week.
Spring Lambs Drop.
Spring lambs lost price ground
steadily throughout the wepk. closing
with a top of $8.50 after having es
tablished a peak of $9.15 on Monday
muni Mica ui uauvc anu ncairiu
spring lambs were over a spread of
$855-9.15, cumulative downturns
having uncovered a net lass of 60
75c during the week.

Chicago Grain
Br the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. Aug. 19.—Wheat prices
rose more than a cent a bushel to
day to the highest levels in about a
month, reflecting reports of disturb
ing European political developments.
Prices in other world markets also
were higher.
Tending to hold the upturn in
check, however, particularly in Eu
ropean markets, was the hesitancy
of many dealers to take market ac
tion pending definite indications of
the effect of the 1930-1940 United
States export subsidy program,
under which business could be done
for the first time today. Some
domestic old crop wheat was re
ported sold abroad, but no an
nouncement was made during the
market sesaten of any business
pending.

Value of U. S. Homes
To Show First Rise
In Nearly Decade
Mortgage Bankers Expect
$750,000,000 Gain
During This Year
Br the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Aug. 19.—The Mort
gage Bankers’ Association for Amer
ica asserted today that the value of
the Nations homes will this year
show the first Important net in
crease in nearly 10 years.
"In the five years before the mar
ket crash in 1929,” said S. M. Waters,
president of the association, “more
buildings were built or repaired than
were tom down or destroyed, but
the trend has been the other way
until last year.
“The Nation's city mortgage debt
went from $9,000.000 000 in 1920 to
$22,000,000,000 in 1930 and then
dropped over $4,500,000,000 in the
next seven years.
“In recent years we have, in a
sense, been living on our ‘home’ cap
ital. Last year the turn came and
we increased this asset by about
$300,000,000. This year the net gain
ought to be around $750,000,000.
“A gain in home mortgage debt J
like this means permanent progress J

Steel Gains Support
Upward Trend in
Industrial Index
Associated Press Average
Near Peaks Recorded
Last Autumn
By FREDERICK GARDNER,
Associated Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK. Aug. 19—Steel,
backbone of the capital goods indus
tries, re-enforced a summer busi
ness revival this week with another
sharp boost in operating schedules.
Rising hand in hand for weeks,
the Associated Press weekly index
of industrial activity and the steel
production rate got back virtually to
the peaks registered last autumn.

***'- OW.VJ i. a LC went LU XJ6.1 per CclT L
of capacity, up 2 points from the
previous week, in what seemed to
some business observers a broaden
ing of improvement in the vital ma
chine-making industries.
The advance in steel, partly in
preparation for the motor indus
try’s start on production of 1940 cars,
more than offset a further decline in
assembly of automobiles. Auto out
put, trade estimates showed, was at
low ebb for the year as the industry
geared its plants for the new models.
Business managers planned for
the autumn months in face of an
other European crisis which many
feared would duplicate the prolonged
spell of tension in financial centers
preceding the Munich pact last
September. Selling in security mar
kets, causing a fall in stocks toward
the end of the week, was attributed
by brokers mainly to nervousness
over a possible showdown on Poland.
Going contrary to the stock mar
ket. the Associated Pross industrial
index was up for the fifth straight
week. It has advanced since mid
May from around 81 to 94. The
peak last autumn was 94.9.
The index, with component groups
based on latest figures available,
calculated on 1929-30 levels as 100,
compared as follows:

The summer pickup in steel pro
duction drew much comment in
financial circles because frequently
in the past an advancing steel rata
has been the best indicator of recov
ery in the capital goods industries,
the center of business depression in
recent years.
The Iron Age said “Business is
coming from such widely scattered
sources as to indicate a solid founda
tion for the coming months when
automotive requirements will be
added to those already apparent.”
