Arex supervisor Donald D. Amos of the War Production Office restates the price support for hogs at $13.75 per hundredweight for 180 to 270 pound hogs on the Chicago market with adjustments for other markets. He notes that anticipated May 15 ceiling cuts do not affect support prices fixed on December 31, 1943, and cites heavy marketings and embargoes in midwest markets as factors pressuring prices.
