The entire marketing situation has
so changed since the September joint
conferenco as to necessitate an entire
alteration in th,e plans of price stabi
lization. * The current peace talk baa
alarmed the holders of com, and there
kaa been a price dccUna of from 26
cents to 40 cents per bushel. Tbe fact
that tbe accumulations of low priced
corn In the Argentine and South Afri
ca would! upon the advent of pegco
and liberated shipping, become availa
ble to the European market bas cre
ated a great deal of apprehension on
the part of corn holders. This decline
has spread fear among swine growers
that a similar reduction In tbe prices
of l|Ogs would naturally follow. More
over, the lower range of corn prices
would, If Incorporated In a 13-to-l ra
tio, obviously result In a continuously
falling price for live hogs. In view
of these changed conditions many
twins producers anticipated lowet
prices and aa a result rushed their
hogs to market in large numbers, and
this oversblpment bas added to and
aggravated the decline.
Tho Information of the Department
of Agriculture Indicates that the sup
ply of hogs bos Increased aboflt 8 per
cent, while the highest unofficial esti
mate does not exceed 15 per cent In
creased production over last year,
the other hand, the arrival of hogs
during the last three weeks In tho
seven great markets has been 27 per
cent more than last year, during tho
corresponding period, demonstrating
the unusually heavy marketing of tho
available supply. In the face of the
excessive receipts some packers havo
not maintained the price agreed last
month. On the other band, many
of the packers have paid over tho
price offered to them la an endeavor
to, maintain the agreed price. Tbe re
sult In any event has been a failure
to maintain the October price basts
determined upon at t])e September con
ference and undertaken by tbe pack
ers. Another factor contrlbnttog to
. Outbreak In prices during tho month
bos been the Influenza epidemic; It
has sharply curtailed consumption of
pork products and temporarily de
creased the labor staff of tho puckers
- about 25 per cent.
Tbe exports of 180.006,006 pounds
of pork products for October com-
pared with about 52,000,000 pounds
la October a year ago, and the
export orders plndbablo by the Food
Administration for November, amount
to 170,000.000 pounds us contrast-
■ od with the lessor exports of
08,000;000 for November, 1017. The
Increased demands of tho allies are.
continuing, and are In themselves
proof of tho necessity for the large
production for which the Food Admin
istration asked. . The Increase In ox-
.port 'demands appears to ho amply
sufficient to tr.lt" up the Increase In
hug product! ju, Inti unfavorable mar
ket coudltlons existing In Oetuber af
ford no fair Index of tho aggregate
supply ,pnd demand.
It must bo evident that the enor
mous shortage to fat§ in the Central
Empires and m- trul countries would
immediately up- peace result In ad
ditional deaura for pork products
which, c/i top o! lie heavy shipments
producer and the Insurance of an ade
quate future supply.
These foreign orders are placed
upoa tbe basil of cost of hogs to tbe
packers. tf
As the result of long negotiations
between this body and tbe Packers’
Committee, representing the 45 to 50
packers participating In foreign or
ders, together with the Allied buyers,
all under the Chairmanship of the
- food Administration, tho foUowlng un
dertaking has been given by the pack- •
era:

great demand rforn the public for

putting it up in this way. Each $1
bottle contains 76 tablets. Can be

to tho Allies v tild tend mutesialiy
to Increase the ncrlcan exports. In
asmuch as no cu !durable reservoir of
supplies, exists < -tilde of the United
gtntee It see: probable. lira* tbe
present prospect supplies would be
lnadeqimto to in- ; this world demand
with tbe return pence. So far as It
Is possible'to Interpret this fact It ap
pease that there should lie even a
stronger demand for pork products
sifter the war, usd therefore any alarm
of hog -producers as to tife effect of
peace Is unwarranted by the outlook.
In tba light of these circumstances
It Is the concluilon'of the conference
that attempts to bold the prlco of hogs
to the price of corn may work out to
the disadvantage of pork producers.
It la the conclusion that nay Interpre
tation of the formula should
broad gauged policy applied over a
long period. It Is the opinion of tbe
conference that In substitution of the
previous plans of stabilization the
Live Stock Subcommittee of the Agri
cultural Advisory Board, together with
the specially invited swine representa
tives, should accept the Invitation of
the Fobd Administration to Join with
the Administration and tbe packers In
determining the'prices at which con
trolled export orders are to be placed.
This will be regularly done. The In
fluence of those orders will be directed
to tbe maintenance of the common ob
ject—namely, the stabilization of the
price of Uve hogs so as to secure si far
In view of the undertakings da the
part of the Food Administration with
regard to the co-ordinated purchases
of pork products, covered in the at
tached, it Is agreed that the packers
participating in these orders will un
dertake not to purchase hogs for less
than the foUowlng agreed minimnms
for the month of November, that is a
dally minimum of {17.50 per hundred
pounds on average of packers' droves,
excluding tljrow-outs. “Throw-outs"
to be defined as pigs under 130
pounds, stagh, boars, thin sows and
skips. Further that bo bogs of any
kind shall be bought, except throw-
outs, at less than *16.50 per hundred
pound* Tho average of packers’
droves to be construed as the average
of tbe total sales In the market of oU
bogs for a given day. - All tbe above
to be based oa Chicago.
Wo agree that a committee shoU be
appointed by the Food Administration
to check the dally operations In the
various markets with a view to super
vision and demonstration of tbe carry
ing oat of the above.
The ability of tbe packers, to.carry
out this arrangement will depenfi on
there being a normal marketing of -
bogs based upon tbe proportionate In-
orease over the receipts of lost year!
Tho Increase la production appears to
be a maximum of about 15 per cent
and we can handle such an Increase.
If tho producers of hogs should, aa
they have In thq put few weeks, pre
maturely market hogs In such Increas
ing number* over the above It It en
tirely beyond the ability of the pack- -
era to maintain these minimum*, and
therefore wo out have the co-opera
tion of the producer himself to main
tain these results. It Is a physical
Impossibility for the'capacity of the
packing bouses to handle a similar
overflood of bogs and to find a market
for.the output The packets are anx
ious to co-operate with the producers
In maintaining a stabilization of price
and to see that producers reaelve a
fair price for then* products.
(Signed) THOS. E. WILSON,
Chairman Pa-kero’ Committee.
The plan embodied above was adopt
ed by tbe-conference.
Tbe Food Administrator has appoint
ed a committee,'comprising Mr. Thom
as E. Wilson, chairman of the Pack-
Committee; Mr. Everett Brown,
president of tho Chicago Livestock Ex
change; Major Itoy of tho Food Ad
ministration, Mr. Louis D, Hall of tho
Bureau of Markets, to undertake (he .
supervision of the* execution of the
plan In the various markets. Commis
sion men are asked to co-operate In
carrying out the plan embodied in the
puckers’ agreement It must be evi
dent that offers by commission men. to
sell -hogs below tho minimum estab
lished above Is not fair, either to the
producer or the participating packers.
Mr. Brown.Iiiih undertaken an behalf
of the commission men In the United'
States that they wlU loyally support
the plan. '
It la believed by the conference that
tills new plan, based aa It Is upon,*
positive minimum basis, will bring bet
ter results to the producer than aver
age prices for tbe month. It does not
limit top prices and should narrow
the margins necessary to .country buy
ers In more variable markets. It Is
believed that the plan should work out
dose to *18 average.
Swine producer*, of tbe country will
contribute to their own Interest by
