Yet after Stabilization Affects Feed Feed grain supplies and prices will be sharply affected by three steps taken y the federal gov ernment announced as intended to stabilize prices and bring about a more normal movement of sup plies, the state AAA committee reported this week. Prices of oats and barley have been Mfrosenn t the high est prices prevailing during the -five-day period. November 29 to ; December S, 1943. In an nouncing this action, the OPA said that permanent . price reg ulations on these feeds would be issued within SO' days. Market prices of both grains have been above or at parity. The war food administration announced an increase in the price of feed wheat of 20 cents a bushel, which will raise the price to Oregon feeders to about $43 a ton; compared with" the previous $37 price. Orders not yet delivered may be cancelled, as price at time of delivery prevails. By way of explanation, the WFA said: "Feed wheat for some time has been priced substantially below other grains. This change will help in conserving transportation since the relatively low prices of feed wheat made it difficult to prevent unnecessary hauling of feed wheat into some areas and other feed grains out of the same areas. "Heretofore feed wheat has been supplied largely from stocks acquired by CCC under its loan programs in earlier years; hence forth, it will be necessary to meet the demand for this grain for feed from purchases made by WFA In the United States and foreign countries. The maximum price of corn has been raised nine cents a bu shel to $1.18 at Chicago Ey the OPA, bringing the ceiling to full parity. The increase is not uni form throughout the country, as adjustments have been made in some markets that OPA believes will result in more normal move ment of corn to all areas.
