Cottle Market
Unsettled;
Portland Good
Llvtock markets were unsettled
during the last week of September,
according to the weekly cattle end
hKt review prepared by the OSC
extension service from USDA r
poru and other data.
Cattle receipt at Portland the
first of this week were larger than
any other Monday in more than
three years. Over 3200 bead arrived
for the first day'i trade. Prices held
fairly well on Monday although it
was definitely a buyer's market and
some animals were unsold. Arrivals
later in the week were hpht but the
yards had not completely cleared
for Thurkday a trading, even though
quotations declined 50 cents on must
classes and were a dollar or more
below Monday on some cows.
Differences
The cattle situation at Chicago
and most other markets was quite
different from Portland this week.
Receipts In the midwest were,
sharply curtailed and live prices
worked higher despite a dull and
weak to lower dressed beef trade. (
At Chicago slaughter steers werei
25 cents to a dollar higher com
pared to last week s close. Most ad
vance was on common and medium
kinds with extremes up a dollar fif-1
ty. Hellers and cows were luiiy .
to 60 cents higher.
Cattle slaughter for the country
as a whole dropped t per cent last
week and was 6 per cent below the
same week of 1948. But the cattle
were heavier than a year ago and
carcass weights totaled a little j
more. Calf slaughter and veal pro-;
due uon were up for the week but
below a year earlier.
Beef and veal wholesaled steady
to two cents a pound lower at Pa
cific coast markets this week. Most
of the decline was in cow and bull
beef. Trends were similar at Chi
cago and New York where most
grades of steer and heifer beef were
" off a cent and cow was off three
to five cent a pound.

Indian Manganese
iTo U. S.
NEW DELHI. India. ! India's
exports of manganese, an Important
dollar earner, have been stepped
up sharply this year. The com
merce ministry reports exports in
the first eight months totaled 384.
893 tons compared with 194.569 tons
in the same period last year.
Much of the ore goes to the Unit
ed States for stockpiling purposes.
Farm Prices
Show Gains
In September
For the first time In halt a year,
average prices received by United
Stairs farmers aliowrd an advance,
according to the weekly farm price,
crop and weather review prepared
bv the OSC extension service from
USDA reports and other data. The
government Uidex on September IS
stood at 349 per rent ol 1910-lttM.
That was a 1 6 per rent inrrease
from mid-August, but was 14 per
cent brlow a year earlier.
Higher average prices lor beef
cattle and hogs contributed most to
the upturn, although dairy products
and poultry and eggs also in
creased. The Index of livestock and
products increased nearly 3 per
cent for the month. Crops as a
whole showed a decline of about
one-half of one per cent. Soybeans,
potatoes, rice and dry brans showed
the sharpest decreases this month.
Parity Index Down
The parity index continued to de
cline. As of mid-September, this In
dex stood at 34 per cent of the
1910-1914 level. That was a I
of about one-half of one per cent
for the month, and was 3 per cent
brlow mid-Srptembrr 1948.
As a result of the higher price
index and lower parity index, the
purchasing power of farm products
rose slightly during the month. The
ratio of prices received to prices
paid, interest and taxes, but not in
cluding farm wages, stood at 103.
That represents a rise of 3 points
for the month, but la still 13 points
below a year ago.
