Oct. 22. - (P) - The boom in livestock receipts, touch- ed off last week by the removal of Of !A controls, subsided sharply j today- as some markets declared , embargoes against further arriv als of meat animals until the num bers on hand can be shipped out to packing plants. Despite the drop in receipts, however, prices were mixed In most livestock markets. General ly, choice cattle and sheep were higher and hogs lower. Most of the commodity markets showed an upward trend, with higher prices on wheat, corn, oats, cotton, butter, soybeans, soybean Wil. cottonseed and cottonseed oil. I'.ggs Slightly Lewer Urr were eggs, poultry and coffee. The decline In eggs and poultry was slight, however. Cattle receipts, for the first time since the recent flood of shipments began, fell below a year ago. totaling 61.100 in the 12 prin cipal markets. Receipts yesterday were 136.800 and a year ago, 65, 852. Her Shipments Heavy Hog shipments were still heavy today, however, totaling 70.800 against 62.500 yesterday and 37, 298 a year ago. Sheep were 49, 300 compared with. 118,000 yes terday and 32,460 a year ago. At Chicago, hogs closed mostly $1.30 off. Good and choice fed steers and yearlings, were $1.00 Heher nd medium grades were r idy to strong. Good and choice ; slaughter lambs I were 23-30 cents higher. j Meanwhile, the agriculture de partment reported that meat pro duced under federal inspection the first week of uncontrolled market operations totaled 265.000,000 pounds. 134 percent more than the 114.000.000 pounds produced the preceding Week but nine percent under the 292.000.000 pounds a year ago 40 of Rents Registered Estimating that only 40 per cent of Salem landlords have regis tered with the new OPA rent con trol office here. District Inspector W. B. Hull of the OPA Tuesday reiterated that slowness of land lords to register their rentals will cause a delay in the date when property owners may present peti tion to the rent control board. W. B. Hull, district OPA Inspec tor, said Tuesday. It was expected by the local board thai petitions for rent'ln cr eases would be accepted Novem ber 1, but due to the lagging regis tration comparative tabulations of rent prices cannot be made by then. It will probably 'be Novem ber 20 before petitions can be -accepted by the board, Hull said. After November 4. registrants will find it difficult to register since field teams of the local board will be out of the city in other Marion county towns to set up registering offices. Hull said.
