The conference lasted for three daya, and durlnr thla time met with the riecullve comuilttre of the lift y packing tlruia participating In foreign orders for Mirk producu and with the mcmlx-re of the Food Aduiliilatrallon directing foreign wrk purchaae. The ronclualona of the conference were aa followa: The entire marketing situation hu so changed ellico Ihe Septcmlcr Joint cot, f en tice aa to nceeiuilliile an entire alteration In Ihe pluna f price aialil llmitlim. The row-lit peace lulk haa alarmed the holdera of corn, and ihcre hua been a price decline of from cents In 40 crnta per bushel. The fail thai the accumulations of low priced com In the Ariietilliie ami South Afrl ca woulil. usm Ihe advent of H-ace and lllu-ralrd ehlpplng. become availa ble to llie KuroH-un market haa cre ated a great deal of apprehension on the pun of i-orn holder.

On the other Iniii.l, ihe an: m' -f boga during Ihe laal three !. In the seveu great nmrketa ha li n er cent, more than laat )enr. ilui.i: toe corrvei Kind lug period, de.:. i 'm.:'.i. the unuaunl'y l.avy marketing of the available supply. In the face of the evceaalve rt-cei.ta some iwckera have Dot niolntalni-J the price agreed laat month, on Ihe other hand, many of Ihe pn ken have paid over the price offered to them In an endeavor to nialnii.lii the agreed price. The re sult In any event haa been a failure to maintain the October price bual determined upon at the September con ference and undertaken by the pack- era. Another factor contributing to the break In price during the month hn hccii the Induenu epidemic : It haa ehnrply curtailed consumption of pork product and temporarily de rreaacd the labor elan of the pack era about S."i per cent The cMH.rts of lrtO.OW.OOO pound of pork products for October com pared with sbout ft2.000.000 pound In October a year ago, and the eiiort orden placeable by the Food Administration for November, amount to 1TO.0O0.0D0 pounda as contrast ed with the leaner exports of ns.000.0ti0 for Noember. 1U1T. The Inrreawd demand of the allies are continuing, and are In themaclTe proof of the necessity for the large production for which the Food Admin istration asked. The Increase In ex port demands nppeara to be amply suinclent to tu up the lucrenso lu hog pmducil ui, but unfavorable mar ket conditions existing In October af ford no fair Index of the aggregate supply nnd demand. It must be evident that the enor mous shortage In fats In the Central Kmplre and neutral countries would luimeilliitely upon peace result In ad ditional demand for pork product which, i top of the heavy shipment to the Allies, would tend materially to Increase the American exporta. In aamtich aa no considerable reservoir of supplies exist outside of the United Suites It seems probable that the present proiecllve supplies would be liiatlciute to meet thla world demand with the return to peace. So far as It la possible to Interpret thla fact. It ap pears that there should be even a stronger demand for pork product after the war, and therefore sn.v alarm of hog producers as to the effect of pence Is unwarranted by tho outlook. In the light of these circumstance It I the conclusion of the conference that attempt lo hold the price of hog to the price of corn inny work out to the tllsiidvantngc of pork producer. It la the conclusion that any Interpre tation of the formula should be a broad gauged policy applied over a long period. It I the opinion of the conference that In substitution of thr previous plant of atahlllrnllon Ihsi Live Stock Subcommittee or tne Agn 'cultural Advisory Hoard, together v llh the specially Invited awlne reprccnla tlve. should accept the Invltutl. n of the Food Administration to Join with the Administration and the packers In determining the prices at which con trolled eximrt ordera ore to be placed. This will be regularly don. The In fluence of these order will be directed to the mnliitenanr of tho common ob ject namely. Ill nhlUintlun of the ertce of live hoc so as o secure as far aa It la possible fulr returns to the producer and the Insurance of an ade quate future aupply. These foreign ordera are placed Uxin Ihe basis of coal of hoga lo the packera. Aa Ihe renUt of long negotiation between thla body and Ihe Pucker' Committee, representing fbe 4.1 to 80 packera participating In foreign or ders, together Kith Ihe Allied buyers, all umler Hie Chairmanship of Ihe rood Ailuiliilstratlon, the following un dertaking haa been given by Ihe park era : In view of Ihe undertakings on the part of ihe Food Admlulatratlon with regard tu the co-ordinated pun-haec of (Mirk produi-la. covered lu Ihe at- I lached. It la agreed that Ihe packera irtlriitiiig In these orders will un dertake not to pun-base hoga for teas than Ihe following agreed mlnltoutna for Ihe month of Novemln-r, that la a dnlly minimum of 117 .MJ per hundred pounds on average of packera' drove, excluding throw-outs.

Further that no hogs uf any kind shall be bought, except throw outa, at leaa than (10.50 per hundred (xiunda. The average of puckers' klmvea to be construed ua the avei-n-t !1if Ihe total aales In the market of all hog for a given day. All te abov to tie based on Chicago. We agree tlint a committee shnll be apMliitcd by Hie Ko.nl Administration to check the dally o-rations In Ihe vartoue markets with a view lo super vision and deinoiiKtratlon of the curry ing out of the above. The ability of the packers to carry out tills arrangement will depend ou there being a normal marketing of hog based upon the proportionate In crease over the recelpta of laal year. The Increase In production appear to be a maximum of about 15 ier cent and we can handle such an tncnuse. If the producers of bogs should, as they have In the past few week, pre maturely mnrket hog In such Increas ing number over the above It la en tirely beyond the ability of the puck er to maintain these minimum, and therefore we null have Ihe co-owru-tlon of the producer himself to main tain these results It Is a physical impossibility for the capacity of the packing house- to handle a almtlar over-flood of hogs snd to And a mnrket for the output The packer are anx ious to co-operate with the producer In maintaining a atabllluitlon of price and to see that producers receive a fair price for their products. (Signed) THUS. E. WILSON, Chulrmun Packers' Committee. The plan embodied above was adopt ed by the conference. The Food Administrator has appoint ed a committee, comprising Mr. Thom as K. Wilson, chairman of the Pack en' Committee ; Mr. Kverett Drown, president of the Chb-ago Livestock Kx change; Major Itoy uf the Food Ad ministration, Mr. Louis D. Hall of the Ilureau of Markets, to undertake the supervision of the executlou of the plan In the various markets. Commis sion men are aaked to co-operate In carrying out the plan emliodled lu the pnekera' agreement It must be evi dent that offera by commission men to sell hogs below the minimum cstsb llshed above is not fnlr, either to the producer or the participating puckers. Mr. Drown has undertaken on behulf of the commission men In Ihe United States that they will loyally support the plan. It la believed by the conference that this new plan, based aa It I upon a positive minimum basis, will bring bet ter results to the producer thnn aver age prices for the month. It does not limit top prices and should narrow Ihe mnrglna necessary to country buy era In more variable markets. It Is believed that the plan should work out close to $18 average. 8wlne producers of the country will contribute to their own Interest by not flooding the market, for it must be evident that If an excessive over per centage of. hoga Is marketed In any one month price stablllrntlon and con trol cannot succeed, and It Is certain that producera themselves can contri bute materially to Ihe efforts of Ihe conferences If they will do their mark eting In as normal a way ss possible. The whole situation as existing at present demands a frank and explicit assurance from the conferees repre sentednamely, that every possible effort will be made to maintain a live hog price commensurate with swine production coals and reasonable sell ing values In execution of the declar ed policy of the Food Administration to ue every agency In Its control to secure Justice to the farmer.
