for cattle to bring forth triplets.
That the three should be rigor

are puny and weak but here at

Market outlook for hogs during
the next year is not very encour
aging, if producers Increase pro
duction as much as the pig sur
veys indicate and export demand
remains! poor. Bays a report on
the hog! situation and outlook re
leased tills week by the college ex
tension service.
, Present rather low prices "for
hogs are not due to increased do
mestic supplies, but rather to
poor demand in this country and
greatly reduced exports, says the
statement. Hog production has
been increased substantially in
Europe ; where large amounts of
pork an d lard from this country
have been'Tnarketed. The- bus
iness depression, with lower prices
for other foods, also affected. the
demand and prices for hogs. -
1 Low, prices for feed grain la
stimulating hog production. The
spring pig crop in the; whole
country was estimated at! 2,5 per
cent more than in 19.30, and in
tentions to raise ' fall pigs, indi
cated a probable. Increase: of
around 18, per cent. The" indica
ted increase in the western states
was; 16 per cent and the probable
increase in fall pigs around, 30
per cent. The next pig survey will
be made In December. 1

Financial Stirs
Said to Retard
Prune Movement
The market situation on prunes
is dull and weak with almost no
sales "reported by growers ; Dry
ing Is now 'completed in ; some
sections, while most other local
ities wlllflniah this week. Driers
operating" for a few highland or
chards, will not be closed before
next week. Financial troubles) in
Europe this week have tended to
halt activities of exporters and
foreign, buyers.'. -i ; . . . j : !
The1 few price offers made to
growers by packers and the ask
ing price by growers -. indicate
that attitudes- of price are nom
inally unchanged from : a: week
ago. No activity. omoortance.
