Drop In Receipts Of Hogs Expected In Iowa
In Des Moines Iowa hog prices held steady with a week of heavy receipts. Prices slid to a season low on Tuesday as long haul hogs reached up to $3 and first hands ranged from $2.60 to $2.70. A late week recovery brought values back toward last week’s end, while lighter finished hogs continued to sell for discounted rates. Government purchase of 6 million pigs after year end and seasonal falls are expected to cut receipts in early 1934.
