Much of the increased consumption is of Grades B or E because of the lieavy marketing of females and unfinislied animais have in- creased their share of tlie total siaugliter suppiy. In the hog outlook sum- mary, it is pointed out that hog prices wil iikely remain higli this faîl due principaiiy to continued reduction of the Nortli American hog supply. Hog prices reaclied a record $90 cwt. in Toronto on Sept. 22, 1975, but have since averaged in the $80 range, $30 above tlie average price in Toronto in Se pt. 1974. Canadian hog slaugliter to August 1975 was down 14pyer cent from tlie correspondting period of 1974 and the smallest since 1969. This decline re- flected the liquidation of breeding stock during 1974, a producer response to iow.liog prices and hîgli grain prices. The reduction was sharpest in western Canada wîtli its share of the market dropping from 44 per cent in 1974 to 37 per cent in 1975; a considerable proportion of this resulted from the grain market be- coming a more profitable alternative for the grain producers than feeding liogs. U.S. liog siaugliter as of Sept. 15, 1975 was 15 per cent beiow the corresponding period in 1974 ind was the lowest since 1966. A 4 to 6 per cent decrease in hog slaughter seems likely for the, first haif of 1976, because farrowing in Canada was an estimhated 8 per cent below 1974 leveis on Juilr 1, of this year.

The demand was so great at times, that it created a few traffic tie-ups on King Street.

Prices in the first haîf of 1976 should be relatively higher than in *the samne period of this year, but tliey will probably weaken somewliat in the second haîf as the resuit of increased supplies coming to market. Dairy Policy Changes Announeed The Minister of Agriculture, the Hon. Eugene Whlean, lias authorized the Canadian ..Dairy Commission to an- nounce significant policy deveiopment, while at1 the saine time, eiaborating upon the previousiy announced long-term dairy policy for Canada. Effective immed- iately an export equalization fund for dairy products lias been establislied by the gov- ernment. Tlie levy rate estab- lislied under tlie fund wiil be 65 per hundred pounds of milk effective October 1, 1975. A reduction of 25 cents from the previous level. There will lie a refund to producers on deiiv- eries made during the period of Juiy 1, to Sept. 30 of this year. In addition the govern- ment lias agreed to a five year average ap proacli to the financing of losses on export sales of dairy products. The export equalization fund will be administered by the Cana- dian Dairy Commission. It is designed to prevent sharp var- iations in levy rates collected from producers whle at the samne time generating suffi- cient revenue to meet the total loss of export sales of dairy products over the next five year period. The levy rate will lie reviewed and if necessary, adjusted annually to refiect changes in'inventory and in the international market con- ditions for dairy products. The rate will be set at a level wliicli is expected to ensure tlie fund does not at year end show a deficit or surplus of more than $40,000,000. 1Tlie dairy policy announced on Mardi 27 of this year provided for an increase to 100,000,000 cwt., or 5 per cent in deliveries of manufacturing milk on which a subsidy of $2.66 would lie paid. Present indications are that produc- tion this year will be in excess of this amount. This could require a change in the method of subsidy payment by the Canadian Dairy Commis- sion to. ensure that uniform payment goes to 'ail pro- ducers. Deliveries of milk during 1975, '76 dairy year are expected to be in the order of 102.5 million cwts. and the commission stated that fur- ther action will need to be taken to reduce the market sharing quotas for 1976, '77 in order to prevent the unwar- ranted surpluses accumula- ting in Canada.
