other countries.

According to the meat division of the food administration it will take time

to dispose of this 80 per rent, surplus and the administration makes the request that hog raisers be patient.

Throligh the operation of the permit plan for the marketing of hogs, conditions on the local market ai% fast be-

coming

tion w _ . ... ...... SHB further reafrictlons has now’ been overcome. I^eaa than 2.000 hogs remained unsold at the close of trading on Satur-

day.

The hog market this week was not normal, but notwithstanding the holidays about 60,000 hogs were distributed and more than 290,000 have been handled ao far this month, or more^than 10,000 more than for the same time last year In the face of adverse conditions Indianapolis traders have maintained tt$e minimum average of $17.50 for good hogs weighing from 160 pounds upward, while at some other markets It was necessary for shippers and feeders to make a sacrifice in prices to sell their

hogs.

Throughout this week $17.50 to $17.00 has been the prevailing price range, but occasionally buyers have paid as high as $17.65. The best pigs continued to sell from $16.00 to $16.60. and packers usually from $16.00 downward. There were fully 14,000 hogs on the Saturday market and more than 10,000 were sold at Friday’s prices except that there were no sales made as high as the top of $17.65.

After an advance of from 25c to 75c which was noted on the day following Christmas, there has been no further gain. So far as most of the Wiling cattle are concerned, the prices this week are about f>0c higher than they were at the close of last week, moat of the Improvement being more noticeable on the better grades of cattle than on the steers under-$12.00, the heifers under $9.00 or the cows under $8.00. There was rather a poor demand for bulls all week, and no permanent gain in prices. Choice cattle of all kinds continued scarce and extreme quotations were not verified by actual sales. After a temporary sag In prices th® early part of this week the calf trade became stronger and finished th© week a little higher than at the close of last w#ek*With final sales from $18.00 downward. There was a poor country demand for stockers and feeding clittle and prices were practically steady with last week. There were only a few cattle arrived for the Saturday market and with all buyers in the field there was a prompt clearance at fully steady prices compared with Friday.

Broadening Demand.

NEW YORK, December 28.—The disappointingly. small volume of export* during the laat week, combined with the easier technical poaition of the market and the appearance of scattered southern hedge selling, fed to active realising or liquidation in tha cotton market during Saturday * early trading. The opening was steady at a decline of 7 points to an advance of 15 points, and there was a little trad# buying, but the market quickly weakened, with January selling off to 2*.96c, March to 27.76c and May 26.86c. or about SO to 40 points net lower. Liverpool waa a moderate buyer of near months, but sold later deliveries, and there seemed to be little support except for covering and a little buvlng for trade account on a scale down. As Scon as the early offerings had been absorbed by covering anl trad# buying the market became firm on a broadantng demand, a good part of which seemer to come from foreign trade interests, including Japan.

This restrictive arrangement is still In force and it will be continued as long as is necessarj There has been Some complaint from farmers that It has worked a hardship on them, but the stabilization committee believes it has, on the whole, been

a good thing for the hog producers.

The meat division of the federal food administration cabled Mr. Hoover ail the facts bearing on tha situation, and it develops that he has been devotin.-; much time recently to the question of a European outlet for the pork surplus.

Persons who are handling the subject feel certain that the packers, now that they have been informed that there < a Kuropean market for the 30 pci cent, surplus, will speed up and do everything possible to assist In relieving the congestion at market centers in the meantime the toad administration would impress on hog raisers the fact (list if they wish the price for hog« maintained they must be willing to await the outcome under the new rrangement being made.

MONTPELIER, Ind., December 28 -The high grad* petroleum field* east of the Mia•aisslppl river for the week show an unusual increase In finished work, gas wells and new production. Exorbitant prices ar# being asked by contractors for drilling In th# western Kentucky field. A year ago drilling was don# at *1.60 a foot, then It advanced to I*, then $2.60,“ and now some are de-

manding from $3 to 13.50 a foot.

On# of the leading topics for discussion In petroleum circles concerns the fact that the government will remove th# stabilised quotaUons during the coming month and operator* are anxious to know the after reeuit. There is question as to whether the markst pries of cmds oil at the wells will decrease or tncreaee, although conditions are such that there Ui little chance for a drop In

CHICAGO, December 28 —Acute scarcity of immediate supplies as forced a big bulge in the corn market this week, although most of the price effects have been confined to nearby deliveries. Compared with a week ago, corn quotations this morning varied from unchanged figures to 10% cents advance. Oats were off 1%®2c to 2%c, and provisions ranging from S0c decline to a rise of 10 cents. Ne&rlv continuous stormy weather that Snterferred with shelling and wagon traffic had much to do with the meagerness of the movement of corn to market and with the fact that stocks were down close to the vanishing point. An additional reason, however, lay in the fact that the surplus states this year had produced 158,«»,000 bushels less thin the average. On the other assertions that feeding demand

passed the climax tended to check bullish sentiment in regard to options later

than January.

Oats lacked support notwithstanding the strength of corn. Most of the time, shipping call was slack, especially from

the seaboard.

Provisions were heavy owing to con-

tinued excessive offerngs of hogs, but were partly sustained by knowledge of foreign need of meats and fats and by gossip that the February average price

of bogs would remain at $17.50. WAGON WHEAT PRICES.
