Presented b> STATE BANK OF RICHMOND member F.D.l.t .. Your attitude toward the economy is im­ portant in determining the country's prosperity. Contrary to popular opinion, the economy frequently follows the direction in which we anticipate. We can actually talk ourselves into a period of high production or a period of recession. T h a t w o r d , recession", strikes fear into the hearts of both businessmen and con­ sumers. And, lately, it has been on the tongues of some economists. But much of the talk of recession comes from watching history and not watching the economic signs. It's time for another recesssion, we're told by some historians. Economic growth goes in cycles, and the longest upswing since World War II lasted a little over three years. The current upswing has now lasted 3 % years. Many feel it would be natural for a slowdown to start soon But that doesn't mean it's written in stone. St. Mary's Sixty-five Saint Mary's College seniors were honored at the annual Senior Honors Banquet Wednesday evening, April 25, in the College Center. At the banquet, Denise Marie Higgins, 4315 E.

The World Of Commodities A Weekly Fundamental Report Livestock:Improvement in packer margins results in increased slaughter levels. Negative packer margins along with evidence of a slowdown in the demand for beef and news of possible organized consumer resistance resulted in a sharptfownturn in cattle prices this past week. The recent reduced slaughter levels suggest pressure on farm level prices may continue over the near term. Longer term, our outlook remains bullish based on our outlook for a 14 percent decline from year earlier levels in beef production during the second half of 1979. Grains: Massive Soviet Buying Supports Corn Prices. Soviet corn purchases have outstripped expectations and it now appears that more business could be done with the USSR. The Soviet purchases come in spite of a record 1978 grain crop of 237 million tonnes. The 1979 Soviet grain crop may not be sufficient to meet the needs of an expanding livestock industry. Our analysis suggest that corn exports to the USSR could total 10-12 million tonnes (390- 470 million bushels) during the 1978-79 crop year. Favorable weather for planting prevailed over most of the Corn Belt during e much of the week. Rapid progress was made during the week and planting could be 35-40 percent complete by May 13 compared to 40 percent a year ago and average progress near 60 percent. Historically, the dominant force in the corn market during the summer months has been weather and crop development. We believe that the strong export demand could limit the downside potential in com prices. We suggest using reactions to establish long positions. Further planting delays or other crop problems could carry corn prices well above current levels. Winter Wheat Crop Forecast Below Expectations. The wheat market continued to demonstrate exceptional strength. The strength is attributed to difficulty in getting spring crops planted around the world. Delays in planting spring wheat in the U.S. have been especially significant and have provided major support. As of May 6 only 213 percent of the spring wheat crop had been seeded compared to 30 percent last year and a 54 percent average of this time of year. Weather in the major spring wheat producing states has remained cloudy, cold and wet. Evidence suggest that the major problem with late planted spring wheat is that it is more vulnerable to crop problems in the summer We now believe the market could work higher from current levels. Since the market is substantially overbought, we prefer to wait for sharp reactions before establishing long positions. Lack of Export Interest Weighs On Soybean Complex. The weakness was associated with a continue lack of new export business and improved weather conditions for field preparations and early planting. Through April 22, undelivered sales totaled 110 million bushels versus 192 million at the same time last year, which indicates sluggish weekly clearances. The potential for new business may be limited with Argentine beans trading at a substantial discount to U.S. beans. On a CIF Rotterdam basis Argentine beans are currently trading at S40-45-bushel below U.S. Gulf beans. Additionally, only 800,000 tonnes of Argentina's estimated 2.6 million tonnes export availabiliites have been registered for export and indicates a substantial portion of new business may be directed to Argentina. A similar situation exists in the soybean meal market with nearly Brazilian soybean meal, basis CIF Rotterdam, trading at $2-4-tonne premium to U.S. meal. Historically, Brazilian meal trades at $7-8 premium to U.S. meal due to its higher protein content. In soybean oil developments, the Census bureau reported March ending soybean oil stocks at 1,001 million pounds, up from 942 in February and up from 804 in March 1978. Apparent domestic disappearance in March, at 719 million pounds, was down from 735 in March, 1978, but up from 617 in February. Stocks are now at the highest levels since July, 1977. Brazil continues to aggressively export soybean oil. With Southern Hempisphere competition reducing export interest in U.S. beans and products, further weakness in the soybean complex is expected in the weeks ahead. For net postions, we sould trade old crop beans and oil from the short side of rallies. John S. Norkett, McHenry Regional Manager-Commercial Hedging Clayton Brokerage Co. Outward Bound In Fall A new 23-day course is being offered by the Colorado Out­ ward Bound school, a non-profit educational organization. It offers participants an op­ portunity to leave their usual surroundings and explore the intricate canyon system in and around Canyonlands National park, Utah, with backpacks and rafts. Five days of white-water rafting through Cataract Canyon on the Colorado river have been incorporated into the standard course activities. Seven-person groups plus an instructor will paddle through the same rapids that John Wesley Powell explored in wooden boats over 100 years ago. The rest of the course will be spent backpacking and lear­ ning skills necessary for safety and comfort in the canyon country. These * include navigation with map and compass, first aid, basic rock climbing, campcraft, and ecology. Because a smoothly functioning group is essential in meeting the challenges of the wilderness, communication and leadership skills will also be emphasized. Dates for the course are Oct 9-31. Applicants are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis. Admission is open to anyone over 16'2, in good health, regardless of race, color, and national or ethnic origin. Tuition includes instruction, food and all necessary equipment except personal clothing. Financial aid is available for those who would otherwise be unable to attend Many high schools, colleges and universities grant credit for participation in Outward Bound courses.
