Show LIVESTOCK MARKET TO BEGOOD Ogden Nov. 25-BelLet that a lively live-ly demand for hogs will continue Is expressed by livestock men and meat packers. That belief Is substantiated sub-stantiated by the reports from all parts of America and from Europe, the latter showing there has been such a decrease In the number of do mestlc animals of all kinds that the farms, ranches and ranges of the United Un-ited States must be dependent upon for more than a year to supply this deficiency. Farmers of Europo will be unable to build up their herds and flocks during the coming year to anywhere near normal conditions. Even with normal coodltlons, Europo was importing im-porting large quantities of meat from America. This makes It apparent that, as Europo will demand a greater great-er meat" supply, the year 1919-20 will not see tho tlmo that meats are not In great demand. Demand for meats means that there will be a splendid market for live Btock. With tho end In view of assuring ,tho greatest production of hogs, meat packers have agreed upon a plan for stabilizing of the price, this plan being approved by tho United States Food Administration. Tho result Is that tho livestock men aro assured continued high prices whila they aro also assured lower cost of production, through tho fact that, i with food rules applying to grain entirely revoked, there will be moro opportunity to feed and fatten hogs, cattlo nnd sheep. Prcmaturo marketing mar-keting of hogs, bringing a flood of business that could not be handled by packing housos; might endangor this plan of buylnc at a stabilized prlco, but It is tho bcllor that tho vory fact of stablllzlntj will as3iiro tho Uvo3tock raisers of tho intor-mountaln intor-mountaln country that they ought to hold tholr stock until It l thor-oughy thor-oughy fattoned and thus gain the extra profit cowing from tlio feeding of tholr hogs. .. ,, |
