FORT WORTH—Hog prices soar
ed into new high ground for the
current crop at Fort Worth Mon-
| day with top hogs selling at $23.50 j
land $1 to $1.50 above last week's
close. The gain was credited to
the continued shortening supply
of hogs all around the market cir-
j cle, and the fact that the embar-
I goes and quaranties in effect in
I the Midwest due to the swine dis-
1 ease vesicular exanthema had cur-
' tailed movement in many big hog
producing sections.
Sows advanced 50 cents per hun-
. dred and feeder pigs closed steady.
1 Most classes of cattle and calves
sold sharply lower. Stocker and
i feeder outlets narrowed sharply,
j Packers were also very bearish.
Most cows sold SI lower Monday,
j Slaughter calves were weak to $1
i lower. Stocker cattle and calves j
| lost SI or more per hundred. Bulls

A little known disease in swine,
vesicular exanthema, is causing a
great deal of difficulty in the hog
industry and some drastic steps
are being taken by both federal
and state officials to stamp it out.
The disease has quite similar
symptoms to the dread foot-and-
mouth deiease, but the mortality
rate is relatively low. Feeding raw
garbage is alleged to be one of
the principal sources of spread of
the disease.
It has been known in California
for many years and recently has
spread into the middlewest. Quar-
antines have been put in effect in
many sections and embargoes on
shipment of live hogs exce^^or
immediate slaughter at points hav-
ing federal ante-mortem and post
mortem inspection have been plac-
ed in effect by nearly a score of
states.
Kansas City reported no hog re
ceipts Monday because of one of
these embargoes. It was report
ed that 14 counties around that
market were under quarantine.
St. Joseph and Omaha had pre-
viously been temporarily closed
and the yards and pens cleaned
and disinfected. St. Jospeh re
ported Monday thdf in some of the
territory near that market, a tight
quarantine was imminent. Com-
munity sales in Minnesota, Kansas
and some other parts of the coun-
try' have been temporarily closed.
No defininte outbreaks in the
South and Southwest have been
reported and at present, the trou-
ble seems to be centered mainly
along the River Markets of the
midwest.
However, both state and federal
officials are on the alert in all
parts of the country.
Livestock folks, as well as the
fruit and vegetable packers, are
pulling for steel production as
soon as possible. The supply of
cans is getting low and if packers
run out of cans, then boning types
of meat animals will suffer great-
ly in prices. In some sections of
the fruit and vegetable producing
areas, there is danger of losing a
crop because of a shortage of cans.
News of end of the steel strike
was also encouraging since the un-
employment that resulted in steel
and allied lines of industry had
cut consumption of meat, too. With
full paychecks and back to work
movements, the industry has at
least one dark cloud removed.
