Smaller pork supplies, but incrcascd bcef output ap- pears possible in the coming mnont hs. For a number of months pork producers have been reporting operating losses. Present prices to producers, though at a relatively high level compared to recent years, do flot appear ade- quate- to maintain output in view of escalating produc- tion costs, particularly feed, which represents about 2/3 the cost of raising a pig to market. With grain markets strong, and indications they will continue this way for some lime, il appears hog producers will decide to cut production. Agriculture Canada fore- cast marketing in' the pre- sent quarter may drop 1% below a year ago, followed by a 4% decline in the first half of 1975. Beef supplies for the bal- ance of 1974 and in 1975' will likely be record large. The price level will reflect largely the 'basic' North American price as established in the U.S. and our relation- ship with il. Some forcasts indicate U.S. prices in 1975 will average below this year. With feed prices continu- ing strong, cattle feeders have opted for less grain finishing. As a resuit an increased per- centage of the beef output may fail in the lower grades (B and Ç) in the next while. Further, cow slaughter is likely to increase, meaning larger supplies of boneless Xmas Decorations Wilth the '*YMCA' Decorate your home inex- holders, Christmas tree pensively for the Christmas decorations, corsages, wrap- holiday season.

The best assurance of ade- quate future meat supplies is current producer prices that are- adequate to maintain a sound production pro- gramme. Even though beef supplies appear adequate now, unprofitable producer operations at present could well be reflected in lower output, or a levelling off in, production, some way down the road.
