World V wool
prices expected
to take drop
By Gaylerd P. Godwin
UPI Stiff Writer
WASHINGTON (UPI)-The Ag
riculture Department says world
wool prices are expected to de
cline moderately during the re
mainder of 1963 because of com
petition from manmade fibers,
In a review of (lie wool situa
tion, the Department said that
during the early months of 1963,
world prices were the highest
since late 1957 and early 1958 for
the finer grades of wool, and the
highest since early I960 for the
medium and coarser grades. De
mand was stable for the lower-than-normal
supplies, due to low
er carryover stocks and smaller
production.
The Department said consump
tion can be expected to remain
steady through 1963. Total use of
all fioeri is increasing, the agen
cy said, but wool's share is de
creasing. The higher level of
wool prices probably will result
In a greater blending or substi
tution of manmade fibers. This,
in turn, the Department said,
will cause a moderate price de
cline during tha rest of 1963.
Domestic use of wool, cotton,
and manmade fibers in 1962 to
taled 38.4 pounds per capita. This
was 8 per cent more than I year
earlier.
The average price received by
domestic wool growers in the
open market for shorn wool dur
ing April was 49.6 cents per
pound, crease basis. The Depart
ment said this price, the highest
since November, 1957, can be ex
pected to decline moderately dur
ing the last half of 1963. .
The Crop Reporting Board said
planted acreages of the nine
vegetable processing crops for
1963 total 1.831,000 acres. This
compares with 1,657,000 acres
planted to the same crops in
1962 and 1,643.000 111 1961. The de
clines for tomatoes, sweet com.
green lima beans, and cabbage

snap beans, beets, cucumbers,
greed peas and winter spinach.
The Foreign Agricultural Ser
vice (FAS estimates world cattle
numbers total a record 1.1 bil
lion head, and hug numbers total
a record 496 million head.
The cattle total is 19 million
head more than in 1962, up 169
million head from the 1951-55 aver
age, and 99 million head above
1956-60.
The hog total Is 6 million head
