Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
CONGRESS adjourns, and, everybody
sighs with relief.
Everything considered, congress has
done a fairly good Job. It has passed
a tax bill that should provide aome
' thing like enough money to keep the
government operating. It has passed
laws easing the financial stringency.
It has passed a relief bill whose
provisions are aa yet Inadequately
understood, but at least It Is a relief
bill.
"eET the country sig,hs audibly with
relief because congress has ad
journed. Why?
Because the country has been
afraid that congress, after going
, ahead and doing a lot of good things,
might then go ahead and do enough
bad things to undo the good that
. has been done.
ARE you looking for algns of Im
provement In the business situa
tion? Here la one:
A carload of hoga sells foe (300
y more on the Chicago market than the
same carload would have sold for a
month ago.
AND here la another:
' A carload of cattle today brings
' (650 more than the same carload
would have brought on the Chicago
market at the low point In May.
-
ON MAY 28. hogs sold on the Chi
cago market for $3.30 a hundred.
A week ago hogs sold on the same
market for $5.55. This Increase has
come about ' through . 34 successive
advances In price.
A year ago, cattle prices on the Chi
cago market averaged $7.65 per hun
dred. Last week, the average was
$8.35 per hundred.
It la Interesting to note, a an In
dication of reversal In trends, thBt
cattle are now selling at a higher
price than at an7 time In 1931.
' When you remember the steady
drop la all prices that has occurred
f since the beginning of 1931 you aee
' how significant that statement la. -
r
YOU have been following the
stock market, or If you remember
the big up In wheat and silver prices
last fall, -which was followed by an
even more significant down, you may
say: "Sure, but how do we know
these advances in livestock prices will
hold?"
WE DON'T.
But at their low point In May, hog
prices were at the lowest level In 34
years. Cattle prices, at their low
point last year, were at their lowest
point In many years. This writer
does not have the exact figure as to
cattle.
VYERE are some more Interesting
Indications:
Receipts of hoga at the Chicago
market in June were the lowest since
1883. The cattle shortage at the
present time Is regarded by the mar
ket experts as the most pronounced
since 1884.
WHAT causes prices to rise and
fall?,
Well, there are various factors, of
course, but primarily prices rise and
fall In response to aur-ply an.- de
mand. When there are more sellers
than buyers, prices go down. When
there are more buyers than sellers,
prices go up.
, With fewer hogs offered on the
great Chicago market than. have been
offered since 1683 and with cattle
scarcer than they have been alnce
1884, there are sound reasons for be
lieving that the present rise in prices
may be sustained.
WE CANT, of course, be cocksure
about anything In this world.
It was hoped last fall that rising
prices of silver and wheat would
hold, but they DIDNT. They dropped
back again.
But, If you will recall the spectacu
lar rise In wheat prices last fall, you
will remember that tbe figures did
not Indicate any Impending ahortage
of wheat. On the contrary, the very
best figures available indicated that
the supply of wheat on hand
throughout the world was consider
ably larger than the probable de
mand. As for silver, no one even professed
at that time to be able to give a
sound reason for Its rise In price.
RIS1NO prices for livestock. If they
are sustained, will mean larger
buying power on the farm. Larger
buying power on the farm will mean
stimulation In buslnesa all around,
which In turn will mean Increased
demand for farm products.
That Is why Increasing prices for
livestock an so Interesting.

WASHINGTON, July 19. &)
Thirty states today had signified the
probability that they will ask a por

the closing hours of congress for di

The first eight, definitely to Indi

Pennsylvania has written the recon

state needs $45,000,000, and Repre

need as much.
Loan to States.
The funds is to be distributed In
the form of loans to states, which
will distribute the money among
their relief agencies.
President Hoover planned to sign
the bill today. Immediately after
ward the corporation is expected to
formulate regulations under which
applications are to be made by the
governors of the states. ,
Although no method of procedure
would be outlined now by the cor-,
