WHEAT PRICES
CLOSE DOWN IN
LATE REACTION
Chicago (IP) Showing unexpected
reserve strength, wheat recovered
from s break of about l'i cents Just
before noon on the board of trade
Tuesday, but closed fractionally
lower. The setback was caused by
selling started by easiness at Min
neapolis and weakness in securities
combined with profit taking. Trade
was no large but support was In
evidence on the dips and the mar
ket easily Influenced. Strength at
Liverpool was a factor. Corn suf
fered heavy pressure during the
latter half of the session and was
sharply lowr. Oats held about
steady.
At the close wheat was 'i to S
cent lower, corn was " to 14 cents
lower and oats were 4 cent lower.
Provisions were steady.
Chicago, (Influenced by un
looked for sharp advances In Liv
erpool wheat quotations, all grain
values here went higher early Tues
day, statements credited to Chair
man Legge of the federal farm
board that agricultural comm mo
dify prices had reached bottom,
attracted much notice and so like
wise did Liverpool reports that
Russian offerings of wheat abroad
were fewer and at higher prices.
Opening hi to V.ic up, Chicago
wheat future delivery contracts
held near afterward to the Initial
range. Corn started unchanged to
luc rise, and subsequently con tin
ued firm.
MEAT PRICES
MUCH LOWER
Chicago ;p) Most meats are
wholesaling now from one-fifth to
one-third lower than a year ago,
William Whitfield Woods, of Chi
cago, president of the Institute of
meat packers said at their conveiv
tion.
The wholesale prices of fresh pork
cuts are slightly lower at present
than last October but the prices of
smoked pork cuts are slightly high
er, he said. The decline In beef
prices, compared with a year ago,
run from 20 to 30 per cent, varying
according to grade and weight. In
general the choicest gades have de
clined least. Veal prices are from
13 to 20 per cent lower than a year
ago. Wholesale price of lamb, which
reached the lowest level since 1914
In September, are still very low,
and at present is about 30 per cent
lower than October 1929.
He said the aggregate production
of meat for the year would probably
re siigntiy smaller than In 1929. He
added that the stocks of meat in
cold storage In October 1 were 20
per cent lower than Oct. 1, 1929.
NEW LOW PRICE
FOR TEXAS TURKEYS
Cuero, Tex. (LP) In this village,
the turkey capital of the nation,
the price was quoted Tuesday at
12 cents a pound, a new low for
many seasons.
Growers were urged to hold their
flocks and market only the choic
est birds at present, as packing
plant operators said they expected
an advance to probably- 18 cents,
however, when the holiday market
opens November 7.
ExperU predicted a normal crop,
despite drought conditions and low
prices.
