1937 CATTLE PRICES
TO AVERAGE HIGHER
THAN PREVIOUS YEAR
WASHINGTON, May JO. (AP.
The agriculture department predict
ed today cattle prices the remainder
of this year will continue to average
higher than in 1036.
It said Increased consumer de
mand for meat and higher prices for
hides caused packers to pay 13 per
cent higher prlcea for cattle the first
quarter of this year than In 1930.
Grain-fed and better grade of slau
ghter cattle will advance In price
later thia summer and fall, the de
partment said, while the seasonal de
cline of lower grades will be less
than usual.
Slaughter supplies will be smaller,
the department predicted, because
high feed costs have caused early
marketing. With normal crops this
year, many cattle wilt be withheld
from market for replacement pur
poses and fattening, the department
said.
It reported the southwest had fur
nished a larger portion of cattle this
year than average because of better
range conditions there.
It predicted Texas, New Mexico and
Arleona will supply 10 per cent more
of western cattle than averago. Cat
tle beng fattened in the corn belt
number one-third lees than last sea
son and the smallest ever recorded,
the department said.
Cattle alaugbter In the first
four months of this year waa re
ported about equal to last year and
larger than any other recent year
since 1918. Calf slaughter In the
first four months of 1037 was 13
per cent above the same period last
year and largest ever recorded.

CHICAOO, May 30. (AP) A rec
ord-breaking upturn In hog prices
In the last . ten days that has re
stored the $13 per hundredweight
top and lifted the market to its
highest spring level In eight years
may not yet have fully reflected un
usual conditions In the trade, live
stock experts said today.
Some observers were Inclined to
believe higher prices are 7et to come,
depending, they said, upon whether
the current advance stimulates mar
keting. There is also the possibility,
they snid, that decreased consump
tion of pork may exert a pressure
on the' live market.
The sharpest hog market upturn
since January, 1936. when the su
preme court Invalidated the AAA
processing taxes Including the $330
per hundredweight tax on hogs oc
curred today. Hogs skyrocketed 35 to
50 cents ard the $13 top returned
for the first time since early last
