One, fast-moving, volatile, dynamic, wide-swinging. The other, more measured in pace, risks, and potential for profit. Our Commodity Research Department has just prepared revealing reports on both that are yours for the asking. Corn—a Special Situation Report covers the present situation and outlook, debates whether prices will stay closely tied to loan levels—whether possible Russian purchases and other key developments may cut down current oversupplies. Focus on Pork Bellies takes a penetrating look at the recent substantial advance in pork belly prices— evaluates the outlook for bellies in terms of expected cutbacks in hog marketing, diminished demand for bacon, and relatively large stocks in storage.

Feed cattle prices bent downward only slightly on Monday despite an unresponsive early carcass trade and the continued absence on the market of one major packer because of labor difficulties. However, there was a good demand for cattle to be slaughtered at points outside the immediate Omaha area. Marketings were poorly distributed over the trading period with near 45 per cent of the four day total arriving on Mon day.
