In accordance with the policy of the

convened in Washington a meeting of
Agricultural Advisory Board and the sp
industry to consider the situation in the
The conference lasted for three day
executive committee of the fifty packing
for pork products and with the members
foreign pork purchases.
The conclusions of the conference w
The entire marketing situation has j
so changed since the September joint q
conference as to necessitate an entire
alteration in the plans of price stabi
lization. The current peace talk has
alarmed the holders of corn, and there
has been a price decline of from 25
cents to 40 cents per bushel. The fact
that the accumulations of low priced t
corn in the Argentine and South Afri- c
ca would, upon the advent of peace 1
and liberated shipping, become avail
able to the European market has cre
ated a great deal of apprehension on
the part of corn holders. This decline
has spread fear among swine growers
that a similar reduction in the prices
of hogs would naturally follow. More
over, the bower range of corn prices
would, if incorporated in a 13-to-1 ra
tio, obviously result in a continuously
falling price for live hogs. In view
of these changed conditions many
swine producers anticipated lower
prices and as a result rushed their
hogs to market in large numbers, and
this overshipment has added to and I
aggravated the decline.
The information of the Department I
of Agriculture indicates that the sup
ply of hogs has increased about 8 per
cent., while the highest unoflicial esti
mate does not exceed 15 per cent. in
creased production over last year. On
the other hand, the arrival of hogs
during the last three weeks in the
seven great markets has been 27 per
cent. more than last year, during the
corresponding period, demonstrating
the unusually heavy marketing of the
available supply. In the face of the
excessive receipts some packers have
not maintained the price agreed last
month. On the other hand, many
of the packers have paid over the
price offered to them in an endeavor
td maintain the agreed price. The re
sult in any event has been a failure
to maintain the October price basis
determined upon at the September con
ferenlce and undertaken by the pack
ers. Anothler factor contribluting to
tile break in prices during tile month
hlas been thle influenza epidemlic; it
has sharply curtailed consumpnltion of
por-k pr-oducts and temporarily deC
creasedl the labor- staff of the packers
about 25 p~er cent.
Tile exports of 13i0.000,000) Iountds

inlcreasedi demands of tile allies are
continuing, and are in thlemselves
proof of thea necessity for tile tar-ge

Food Administration since its founda

the Live Stock Subcommittee of the.
cial members representing the swine
hog market.
S, and during this time met with the .
firms participating in foreign orders
of the Food Administration directing
ere as follows:
reducer and the insurance of an ade
uate future supply.
These foreign orders are placed
ipon the basis of cost of hogs to the
sackers.
As the result of long negotiations
eiween this body and the Packers'
sommittee, representing the 45 to 50
mnckers participating in foreign or
lers, together with the Allied buyers,
i under the Chairmanship of the
rood Administration, the following un
lertaking has been given by the pack
rs
In view of the undertakings on the
art of the Food*"Administration with
egard to the co-ordinated purchases
f pork products, covered In the at
ached, it -is agrped that the packers
larticipating in these orders vill tin
lertake not to purchase hogs for less
han the following agreed minimums
or the month of November, that is a
laily minimum of $17.50 per hundred
>ounds on average of packers' droves,
xcluding throw-outs. "Throw-outs"
o be defined as pigs under 180
)ounds, stags, boars, thin sews and
kips. Further, that no hogs of any
rind shall be bought, except throw
>uts, at less than $10.50 per hundred
)ounds. The nyerage of packers'
broves to be construed as the average
)f the total sales in the market of all
logs for a given day. All the above
.0 he based on Chicago.
W1e agree that a committee shall be
ippointed by the Food Administration
0 ch'ek the daily operations in the
various moaricets with a view to super
isim antd demonstration of the carry
ing out of the above.
The ability of the packers to carry
out this arrangement will depend on
there being a normal marketing of
hogs based upon the proportionate in
crease over the receipts of last year.
The increase in production appears to
bei a maximumn of about 15 per cent.
and we can handle such an increase.
If the producers of hogs should, as
they have in the past few weeks, pre
maturely market hogs in such Increas
ing numbers over the above it is en
tirely eyond tie ability of the pack
ers to maintain these minimmus, and
thlerefore we must have tile co-oipern
tioni of tile producer himself to main
tain these results. It is a phlysieal

It is helieved by the conference that
his new plan, brised tie it is upon a
iositivye minimumn biasis, will bring bet
er results t~o the producer than nyeuvr
ige prices for the mont hi. It does not
umit top prices and should narrowv
lie matrglns necessary to counitry buy
3rs in more variable markets. It is
>elieved thiat the plan should work out
lose to $18 average.
Swine producers of the country will
zontribute to their own interest iby
iot flooding the market, for it must be
Ivident that if an excessive over per
~entage of hogs is marketed in any
