FORTY-TWO CARLOADS OF STOCK SHIPPED FROM RICHMOND THIS MONTH; MARKET UNSETTLED

By WM. R. SANBORN. There can be no doubt but that uneasiness as to future prices has caused the marketing of a lot of "unfinished" hogs. Hundreds of permits were asked for in bunches. Should the minimum price limit be removed, and farmers thereby become uncertain .as to what their hogs will bring, they will be the more willing for buyers to take the risk of declines. Buyers will take hogs, in such a case as the market appears favorable. This will prevent glutted yards, in the main, and have a tendency to hold prices firm, or to even advance them. There are many who argue that the winter crop of hogs has been pretty closely marketed and. that the lifting of the minimum price will actually raise prices, after the first few days of flurry is over. Others are not so sanguine. ... The effect of the lifting all embargoes on Argentine corn has had a depressing effect on corn prices in all markets. Corn belt farmers have been loosening up and country offerings are much larger than when corn was twenty cents higher at Chicago and St. Louis. Glen Miller Receipts Commenting on receipts at Glen Miller yards for the week ending January 18th, and for the year to date, Mr. Shurley said: "With a steady market all week, and a desire on the part of feeders to cash in while the price is guaranteed, hogs continued to move all week. The receipts consisted of 1,080 hogs that weighed 250,450 lbs. and cost $40,785.83; 37 head of cattle, 33,250 lbs., that brought $3,275.65; and 40 veal calves that cost $995.60. , Total receipts cost $45,057.08 and it required 17 cars to load the stock out." Frank Petro, superintendent of the county farm, holds the record for the week. He sold E. S. Wright, agent for the Glen Miller yards, 70 head of May pigs that averaged 288 lbs., one of the best loads of hogs bought this season. Principal Shippers.

Ogden Armour told the house interstate commerce committee today that pending legislation to regulate the meat packing industry was "reactionary" and part of it probably unconstitutional, and ' warned congress that "If a monkey wrench is thrown into the gears of this business" its effects would be felt in many other lines of industry. " "I interpret this bill as an effort to dissolve an alleged monopoly and to decentralize the meat packing industry," Mr. Armour said. "It seems to be constructed in the belief that a great number of small units engaged in the surveying of food is preferable to a few which are organized on a national scale. "If the ability of the packing industry to function property is impaired, it will affect the livestock industry and it in turn will affect corn prices. Wheat will be then drawn in and so will bread and so will labor, and so will everything that has for its basis the wealth produced by agriculture. Theories Reactionary, The theories on which pending legislation is based are not constructive; they are not progressive. They are reactionary. They would disrupt the great manufacturing and marketing machines which half a century of enterprise has evolved and the results would be detrimental not alone to the leading Industry of this nation, but even, more so to that portion of the public which produces, and to the entire public which consumes food." Possibility of government ownership of stock yards and other adjuncts to the packing industry drew from Mr. Armour reference to "Red tape" and controversies over "trivial matters," such, as underground mail chutes. Profits made by Armour and company, Mr. Armour declared, were negligible insofar as either the producer or the consumer was concerned. "On our total volume of business," ie said, "they represent a return or less than two cents on every dollar of sales. The margin of profit in the packing industry is the smallest eu-t joyed by any industry of titiona.J consequence." Sales Increased. Gross volumes of sales by his company in 1913. the witness said, totalled $861,000,000 compared with $575,000,000 in 1917, but the net income was at the rate of nine percent on the average net capital Invested. Mr. Armour in the course of h'.3 statement made detailed answer for Armour and company, of which he Is , president, to the charges made by the federal trade commission's report on its meat packing Investigation and recommendation by the commission on which the legislation now before congress is based. He declared that the high price of meat was the real reason why President Wilson ordered the investigation. Within the past four years, he said, the price of live hogs had increased 245 percent and costs of labor, clerical help and fuel had doubled. . Denies P'ce Col'usion. As only seventy percent of a hog is edible and the remaining thirty percent of by-products have not increased in value as rapidly as the live animal, Mr. Armour said. It could be understood why bacon today costs hree timese what it did four year ago. He added that prices of live cattle and sheep have advanced at a pace with that of hogs. Charges by the commission or collusion among the five big packing firms to control prices were denied categorically by the witness for bis firm. In denying that there was any combination among the packers to fix prices, Mr. Armour declared that one instance of alleged price-fixing pointed out by the federal trade commission was taken at the request and with the approval of the food administration. This was the agreed price of 22 cents a pound for lard com pound, reached, the witness said, by voluntary agreement between the ! manufacturers, so as to stabilize the i cotton seed industry. He quoted a j circular of the food administration, is-1 cn or rorv OS 1 Q1 7 tn trlva tKio t of the agreement.
