This is a time of the vear when everybody else has stock for sale. It is a period when packers know they can fill tl'lOll‘ cellars with cheap meat. These are the months when the surplus of :the whole country finds its way «to the packing centres. It is in- variably the period of low prices. uncertain markets and disappoint- ing returns to the producers. 'Breed. therefore. to have your stock available for sale at some other time of the year.

To this situation the war has: of course.'largely con- tributed. but other causes. includ- ing the general financial depres- sion throughout the country; have been~0perative for some months past.
