PORK PRODUCTION BACK TO NORMAL Dressed Prices Not in Keeping With Hog Rise, By United Press CHICAGO. Oct. 29.—Though pork prices have Increased 40 per cent In the last ten years, fresh pork prices have not kept pace with the advanced prices paid the farmers for their lings. Claries E. Herrick, pres ident of the Institute of American Meat Packers, contended today before the institute convention. Present high prices are “In Veep lng with higher living costs.’’ he said, and are due to dwindling re ceipts. The decrease In production, however, Is only a return to “notTn.il production ’* Herrick said. A ye;ir ago the packing industry processed more hogs than at any time in its history, he said, due to ti-e huge corn crops of 1929 an 1 1923. Strengthened prices today are a resuit of decreased production and exhaustion of the huge stocks put In storage duifng the peak period of a year ago.

Business Review

.Some new signs of expansion, both j In domestic and overseas commerce, have appeared. Despite the handicap Os price unsettlement, American con sumption of cotton has Increased substantially, and experts of that staple have attained the largest volume in nine months. Similarly, the value of general merchandise shipments has reached the highest point of the present year, while foreign trade prospects have been further strengthened hy the successful placing of the German loon. Although a full response to constructive forces is still lacking, the main trend is toward revival of business and ail of the principal statistical measures show that the fall season has brought a definite improvement In conditions. Recent mild weather, following the low temperatures of September, has temporarily checked retail demand, but has been favorable to crop harvesting, and the larger buying power in agricultural sections is reflected in the more optimistic reports from the West and Northwest. Records of production in basic industries continue to indicate varying results, yet gains in pig iron and steel output have been held and the percentage of idle machinery in textile mills is gradually lessening. The situation generally, however, Is influenced by the coming ejections, which cause hesitation, and there has been no change from the practice of operating chiefly for actual needs. Notwithstanding this cautious policy, transactions in the aggregate are very heavy, and the current movement of freight on the railroads has seldom been equaled.
