alarmed the holders of corn, and there
has been a price decline of from 25
cents to 40 cents per bushel. The fact
corn in the Argentine and South Afri-
ca would, upon the advent of peace
and liberated shipping, become avall-
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 lower range of corn prices
would, if incorporated in a 18-to-1 ra-
tio, obviously result in a continuously

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
excessive receipts some packers have
not maintained the price agreed last

of the packers have paid over the
price offered to them in an endeavor
to maintain the agreed price.
sult in any event has been a failure
to maintain the October price basis
determined upon at the September con-
ference and undertaken by the pack-
ers. Another factor contributing to
the break in prices during the month
has been the influenza epidemic; It

The exports of 130,000,000 pounds
of pork products for October com-
pared with about 52,000,000 pounds
In October a fear ago, and the
export orders placeable by the Food
Administration for November, amount
to 170,000,000 pounds as contrast-
ed with the lesser exports of
98,000,000 for November, 1917. The
increased demands of the allies are
continuing, and are In themselves
proof of the necessity for the large
production for which the Food Admin-
istration asked. The increase in ex-
port demands appears to be amply
sufficient to take up the Increase In
hog production, but unfavorable mar-
ket conditions existing in Octcber af-
ford no fair Index of the aggregate
supply and demand.
It must be evident that the enor-
mous shortage in fats in the Central
Empires and neutral countries would
immediately upon peace result in ad-
ditional demands for pork products
which, on top of the heavy shipments
to the Allles, would tend materially
to increase the American exports, in-
asmuch as no considerable reservoir of
| supplies exists outside of the United
States. It seems probable that the
present prospective supplies would be
| inadequate to meet this world demand
| with the return to peace. So far as it
is possible to interpret this fact, it ap-
pears that there should be even a
stronger demand for pork products
| after the war, and therefore any alarm
of hog producers as to the effect of
peace Is unwarranted by the outlook.
In the light of these circumstances
it is the conclusion of the conference
that attempts to hold the price of hogs
to the price of corn may work out to
the disadvantage of pork producers
the formula should be a
| broad gauged policy applied over a
long period. It Is the opinion of the
conference that In substitution of the

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 beyond the ability of the pack-
ers to maintain these minimums, and
therefore we must have the co-opera-
tion of the producer himself to main-
tain these results. It is a physical
impossibility for the capacity of the
packing houses to handle a similar
over-flood of hogs and to find a market
for the output. The packers are anx-
lous to co-operate with the producers
In maintaining a stabilization of price
and to see that producers receive a fair
price for their products.
(Signed) THOS. E. WILSON,
Chairman Packers’ Committee,
The plan embodied above was adopt-
ed by the conference.
The Food Administrator has appoint-
ed a committee, comprising Mr. Thomas
E. Wilson, chairman of the Pack-
ers’ Committee; Mr. Everett Brown,
president of the Chicago Livestock Ex-
change; Major Roy of the Food Ad-
ministration, Mr, Louis D. Hall of the
Bureau of Markets, to undertake the
supervision of the execution of the
plan in the various markets. Commis-
sion men are asked to co-operate in
carrying out the plan embodied in the
packers’ agreement. It must be evi-
dent that offers by commission men to
sell hogs below the minimum estab-
lished above 18 not fair, either to the
producer or the participating packers.
Mr. Brown has undertaken on behalf
of the commission men in the United
States that they will loyally support
the plan.

positive minimum basis, will bring bet-
