Political Factors Dominated Market Dominant Factor In Grain Markets Eratic grain prices and generally stable livestock prices have characterized the farm of midApril. reported M. Paul Mitchell, Purdue University extension agricultural economist. Political factors apparently were the dominant issues in the grain markets as traders in futures contracts accepted the probability of a presidential veto of the soil bank bill and prices sagged badly prior to the actual veto. Following the veto message and the announcement of increased support rates for 1956 crops, the futures markets staged a decided comeback, leaving most grains with net gains for the two week period. * Greatest gains, however, were In soybean prices where new legislation was not as much of a factor as with wheat and corn. Soybeans showed gains of as much as 17 and 18 cents per bushel on nearby future contracts, bringing contract prices above the |3 mark tor the first time since early September of 1954. New crop contract prices, however, failed to show gains. In fact, slight losses occurred in the more distant contracts, Mitchell stated. Net gains of about five cents per bushel were made on May contracts for wheat, while the more distant contracts ended the two week period at levels slightly be! low those at the beginning of the period. Cash prices at terminal markets and at most country elevators followed the advance on the May contract price. Unfavorable weather reports of high winds and deficient rainfall were also factors in the grain markets during the period under review, as lack of moisture became critical in the wheat belt of the great plains and threatened to become serious in large areas of the corn belt. Gains of four and five cents per bushel were reported on corn future contracts, with similar advances in most local markets. Oats, which have shown great price stability during recent months, advanced a cent or two under the influence of short moisture conditions. Rye was the only grain which showed net price losses for the period, with losses of three to four cents per bushel. In livestock markets, prices of cattle, and hogs have remained on a practically stable bases after their recovery from the low levels of the winter season. For the first time in many, months, receipts of both hogs amt cattle fell closely in line with those of a year earlier. Current prices are still below those of a year earlier. hut with still lighter receipts in prospect, some further price strength can be expected in the near future, according to Mitchell. This position for future cattle markets is supported by the report of the cattle on feed. April, recently released by the crop reporting board of the U.S.D.A. which show* ed a decrease of eight percent below the record levels of a year earlier. The greatest decrease was reported in the western corn belt, with eastern corn belt states showing a slight increase. Fed iamb prices have shown further price strength as receipts decreased. In poultry markets, fryer prices improved slightly contrary to expectations. A tendency to market at light weights gave added strength to the heavier fryers. A good demand has kept prices for White (Rocks in a range of 20-22*4 cents, with 21 cents . a popular fHce.” “ Graded eggs remained generally steady with “Grade A” eggs commanding prices of from 35 to 39 cents, “A-medium” mostly 33-34 cents and ‘.*B-large” bringing mostly 31-32 cents. Fowl prices also remained about steady, with heavy fowl bringing mostly 22-25 cents but in instances as high as 26 cents. Generally steady prices are expected for most poultry products in the immediate future, but prospective larger supplies of broilers and __fryers_ within a few weeks could depress prices unless demand. can he stimulated. Because of advanced marketing schedules at light weights, slightly higher prices for the heavier fryers may prevail in the immediate future.
