On jthe other hand, the arrival of hogs idurlnglhetosthree weeks In27 the seven great markets has been per cent more than last year, during the period, demonstrating corresponding the unusually heavy marketing of the available supply. In the face of the excessive receipts some packers have not maintained the price agreed last On the other hand, many month. i of the packers have paid over the price Offered to them In an endeavor The j to maintain the agreed price. to any event has been a failure j to maintain the October price basis determined upon at the September and undertaken by the pack-ierAnother factor contributing to ithe break In prices during the month has been the Influenza epidemic; It 'has sharply curtailed consumption of 'pork products and temporarily decreased the labor staff of 'be packers about 25 per cent. The exports of 130,000,000 pounds of pork products for October compared wltn about 62,000,000 pounds tn October a year ago. and the Food , export orders placeable by the - Administration for November, amount to 170,000,000 pounds as contrast ed with the lesser exports of The 88,000,000 for November, 1917. " Increased demands of the allies are .continuing, and are tn themselves proof of the necessity for the largen production for which the Food asked. The increase In exdemands appears to be amply port sufficient to take up the Increase to bog production, but unfavorable market conditions existing In October afford no fair Index of the aggregate supply and demand. It must be evident that the enor- mous shortage In fats In the Central Empires and neutral countries would Immediately upon peace result tn additional demands for pork products which, on top of the heavy shipment Allies, would tend materially .ito increase the American exports, Inasmuch as no considerable reservoir of supplies exists eutslde of the United States. It seems probable that the be present prospective supplies would demand Inadequate to meet this world 'with the return to peace.

The ability of the packers to carry oat this arrangement will depend on there being a normal marketing of hogs based upon the proportionate Increase ever the receipts of last year. The Increase to production appears to be a maximum of about 15 per cent and we can handle such an Increase. If the producers of bogs should, as they have In the past few Weeks, prematurely market hogs In such Increasing numbers over the above It Is entirely beyond the ability of the packers to maintain these mlnlmums, and therefore we must have the of the producer himself to maintain these results It Is a physical Impossibility for tbe capacity of the packing bouses to handle a similar over-floo- d of bogs and to find a market; for the output. The packers are anxious to with the producers in maintaining a stabilization of price and to see that producers receive a fair price for their product. THOS. E. WILSON,' "(Signed) N Chairman Packers Committee. Tbe plan embodied above was adopted by the conference. The Food Administrator has appointed a committee, comprising Mr. Thomas E.. Wilson, chairman of the Pack-- Mr. Everett Browg, ers Committee president of the Chicago TJvestock Exchange Major Roy of the Food Administration. Mr. Louis D. Hall of the Bureau of Markets, to undertake the supervision of the execution of the plan to tbe various markets. Commisto sion men are asked to carrying out the plan embodied in the packers agreement. It must be evident that offers by commission men to sell hogs below the minimum established above ts not fair, either to the producer or the participating packets. Mr. Brown has undertaken on behalf of the commission men In the United States thste they will loyally support tbe plan. It Is believed by tbe conference that this new plan, based as It ts upon a positive minimum basis, will bring better reeulta to the producer than aver age prices for the month. It does not limit top prices and should narrow the msrglns necessary to country buy-er- a to more variable markets. It Is believed that the plan should work out close to $18 average.. Swine producers of tbe country will contribute to their own. Interest by not flooding the market, for it must be evident thst If an excessive over perany centage of hogs Is marketed In bon-trone month price stabilization and cannot succeed, "and It Is certain that producers themselves can contribute materially to the efforts of tho conferences If they will do their marketing ta as normal a way as possible.
