FRIDAY EVENINGS 'TIL 9:00 Phone 2 McHenry, 111 FORCES ARE SEEN DtCOBN MARKET It is easy to see price-depressing forces in 4 the corn market, and hard to find pricelifting ones. It is the unforseen forces, however, that often bring the most important changes in grain prices. Prices of corn recently were around 20 cents a bushel lower than they were the year before. Here are some of the factors tliat made lor lower prices: 1. The supply of corn on Jan. 1 totaled 3,600 million bushels, 5 per cent more than last year. Supplies on farms alone were 2,457 million bushels, also up 5 percent. 2. Total stocks of all other feed grains also were larger than last year. Oat stocks on Jan. 1 were estimated at 932 n#llion bushels, up 18 percent; sorghum grain, 505 million, up 123 percent; and barley, 358 million, up 17 percent; Altogether total stocks of the four feed grains were estimated at 138.5 million tons. This amount was 14 percent more than last year and 53 percent more than five years ago. 3. Price support is less effective than it was last year. Loan rates are 10 and 15 cents lower. Where la$t year 675 million bushels <)f corn were grown under acr^ailf .allotments, only 3£>0 millicap were so grown this year* and a substantial part of this amount is too wet to qualify for price support loans. To Dec. 15, only 14 million bushels, one-fifth as much as last year, had been placed under price support. 4. Roughage supplies are much more abundant than they were in 1957. Haystacks on Jan. 1 Were estimated at 87 million tons, 18 percent more than last year. 5. Business activity has slowed down materially. Unemployment totals around 4.5 million, Or three unemployed for every two commercial farms. The general price level/- has been 'declining not only in the United States, tyit in other countries as well. Prices of livestock, Which are important in making corn prices, are unusually high for this time of year. Prices of fed cattle seem likely to decline more than usual from midwinter tq late spring, and prices of hogs may decline instead of making their normal spring rise. Thus, declining livestock prices may become a new bearish force on the price of corn. While the supply of feed grains and hay is considerably larger than it. was last year, the number of grain-consuming animals remains abdut the same: The small increase in hogs is about offset by decreases in horses and hens. But there are also some possible sources of strength for corn prices: 1. Prices already have declined to quite low levels. Local Illinois market prices recently were around $1 a bushel (for No. 3 . corn) compared with about $1.20 last year. Average prices received by farmers ip the western parts of the corn belt were considerably Ipwer. Where Illinois reported jl.^l in December, Nebraska reported. 93 cents, Iowa 85 cents, Minnesota 80 cents and South Dakota 72 cents. 2. Several Atlantic coast states suffered extreme drouth last summer and need cow and poultry feed. 3. CCC sales, which were about the same in the last quarter of 1957 as the year before, have been smaller lately and may be hel<| down. 4. Poor growing conditions may develop in 1958. 5. Prices might rise on thd strength of congressional talk or other activity. •fife®. t LITTLE PHIL Return ms prom a conference in WASHINGTON, GEN.
