Chicago August 14 AP wholesale prices for fresh pork in the Chicago area reached a high of 29.50 a hundred pounds, more than 350 percent above two years prior. Yesterday’s jump added 1.00 and elevated pork costs 23.00 from the 1933 low of 6.50. Causes include last year’s drought and corn shortage, with the Institute of American Meat Packers citing the Agricultural Adjustment Act. Secretary Henry Wallace offered a different view, saying pork costs would rise modestly without the 1933 pig purchase program. Live hog shipments to Chicago are about one third of last year’s. Record pork prices come as supplies dwindle and hogs move from storage, with the day’s average around 11.20 plus a 2.25 processing tax. Secretary Wallace predicted prices would moderate later in the fall as spring pigs enter market.
