PARMNEWS PRICE FACTORS LISTED IN BEAN MARKET REVIEW A farmer friend asks some interesting questions about the soybean market. "How come," he writes, "the University 'experts' did not tell us that soybean prices would go to $3? And why did the bean mills slow down, saying that they were losing money, when beans were $2.25, but operated at full speed when the price went up to $2.50 and $3?" A lot of things happened,, during the past year or so to affect soybean prices. Each new development changed price prospects. The 1953 crop was small, prices of soybeans, oil and meal went up. The 1954 crop, was a record-breaker, but prices tended to remain high, blocking needed . increases in... sales at home and abroad. It appeared that the Carry-over of old beans would be around 30 million bushels, several times the normal amount. Then farmers boosted their planting of soybeans. Growing conditions were very good during the early part of the^'1955 season. Continued good weather would have made a crop of 400 million bushels. This, with a Chrry-over of 30 million, would have made a total supply Of Various flower displays will be exhibited in the Illinois building during the 1956 Illinois state fair. 430 million, or one-fourth . more than the previous record supply of the year, before. A huge production of cotton seed, which competes with soybeans, was also in prospect, and official estimates were raised month after month all through the seasori. This prospect offset the first reports of deterioration of the soybean . crop. Later these four developments lifted prices of soybeans: 1. 1955 soybean production, at 372 million bushels, though 9 per cent greater than the record 1954 crop, fell below earlier prospects. 2. Production of olive oil in the Mediterranean area fell onethird below the 1953 level, and this reduction increase^, the foreign demand for soybean oil and soybeans. 3. Our government moved to boost exports. The CCC sold the 1954 crop beans that it had taken over under price support loans. About 700 million pounds of soybean "and cottonseed oils were sold* under Public Law 480. An additional 65 million pounds were 'Sold under ICA agreements. 4. Finally, rising prices have brought, on an unusual amount of bullish speculation. The pried of soybean oil has gone up from 10 and 11 cents a pound last fall to around 16 cents recently. This price increase has added 55 to 66 cents „a bushel to the value of soybeans. Thei price of soybean meal, after sagging most of the season,, has advanced more than $10 a ton. The higher value for meal has added another 30 cents to bean values. Buyers of soybean oil and meal are not final consumers. The oil is manufactured into' margarine and shortening. Thus prices of the oil can change considerably without immediately affecting the .rate' of consumption. Soybean meal follows an even more round about path to final, consumers. It is mixed with other feed ingredients And sold under many brand names. The final consumer products are meats, dairy products and eggs. And prices of the soybean meal can fluctuate widely without having large immediate effects upon consumption. These peculiarities of the soybean market make it subject to unusual price variations^ . v Soybean stocks on April 1", ' totaled 176 million bushels, tH<£;; • same as the record stocks of t£ryear before. Farmers held fewer v beans, but others had morlt - Looking further ahead, anothet large crop of soybeans is likely this fall, though not • necessarily larger than last year. Produce I tion of cottonseed may be re? duced from the 1955 level. But a combination of price-raising forces such as lifted prices this year are not likely to occur in the year ahead. L. H.
