the peak price of 1951 officials are predicting the price will reach even more before the end of the starva tion run now in progress little pigs at the stouftville sales arena are bringing up to 1s each the reason for high prices is attributed by marketing board officers to dwindling stocks in packers storage and shortage of hogs pn the farms we will pay as high as 50 for hogs if mr and mrs john public will pay higher pork prices said a packing house official pork chops today are selling at s8 cents a pound compared to 65 cents and hams have jumped from 85 cents to 118 consumer resistance to porks high prices is now often offset by better packaging in the past few years pack ers have improved the appear ance of their product for sale on store counters more than ear manufacturers have im proved their new cars said a butcher its easier to sell now shortage of hogs on farms is general throughout ontario quebec and the iowa and illi nois corn belt of the united states the american market for hogs has been better all along than the ontario the mont real market is quoting 39 to day reason for american short age is that the government sup port price on corn is 150 a bushel farrhers would

months mar ketings for the last four months will be up sharply probably 30 per cent many ontario farmers went out of pigs late in 1952 when the government lowered the floor from 26 to 21 cents for most of 1952 a large volume of hogs sold at the 20cent floor the packers say the high price of pork is reflecting on the beef market beef prices i which have been at a low point this year have taken a
