MARKET TRENDS
Recent reports from farm magazines indicate
that the consumer demand for farm products
over the nert 12 months seems to be some
what less favorable than was ejected only
a short while back. There is an indication
that the supply of some consumer goods has
overtaken the present demand.
Prices for farm products on July 15 aver
aged only 2 per cent under the record peak
of last January. Tli? general level has
declined in the lafet month, and further
weakness is probable in the nert few months
due to bumper crops and later on to increased
supplies of meat animals.
BATTLE PRICES will probably be relatively
strong for the best grades and weak for the
nedium'and low grades during the next two
months.
Consumer resistance to tho extremely high ’
price for boef is becoming more pronounced,
30G PRICES are likely to pass thoir yearly
peak within the next 30 days. Holding back
hogs to use part of tho new crop and make
increased weight will delay the start of
the fall movement.
LAMB PRICES rill probably doclino during
the next two months. The crop is estimated
to be 8 percent below last year,31 percent
below the 1937-46 average'and tho smallest
in tho 25 years of record. Supplies of fat
lambs arc expoctod to increase as the move
ment of range lambs expands. Consumer de
mand is not oxpocted to incroaso as much
as the offerings in this field,
WOOL PRICES may continue relatively high,
although tho extreme levels for fine wools
reached a few weeks ago may not be main
tained,
WHEAT PRICES may stabilize for a time oh
a lovol modcratoly below the loan valuo,
then strongthon as the cropt pressure lifts,
IEED PRICES aro oxpectod to be steady to
somewhat lower over the next 30 to 60 days,
with corn nr ices likely to ®how groatost
woakness.

HAIRY PRODUCTS aro oxpoctod to trend up
ward during the next four months.
EGG PRICES will advanco in tho next two or
throo months as receipts doclinoi Current
supplios of top grados aro light, as a
majority of offerings show heat defects.
Consumer demand is good for top grados.
CHICKEN PRICES aro cxpocted to bo slightly
lower over the next two or throo months,
POTATO PRICES arc expected to continue
steady to weak in lato summor and early ?
fall if present prospects of a crop about
4 percent ov^-r last yoar and'2 porcont
abovo averago aro maintained. Home grown
supplies will be heavy and commercial sup
plies'will incroaso as the late crop na
tures. Pricos in sections which ha.*o cx->o

otios probably will remain at the support
level.
