The annual livestock report by Lionel L. Jones notes cattle and sheep rose on Louisiana farms while horses and swine fell. Total farm livestock value dropped to 33.895 million from 41.949 million, due mainly to lower per head value.

Head counts list horses 201,000, mules 171,000, cattle and calves 613,000, cows and milk-ready heifers 212,000, other cows 44,000, sheep 118,000, and swine 394,000.

Manufacturing Slows But Shows Steady Steel Lift in 1929
1929 figures indicate steel operations climbing with plants nationwide operating at about 47 percent of capacity versus 49 percent in December and 45 percent in November. In 1930 the commodity price picture improves gradually, not a sharp reversal, with indications that prices are stabilizing and that January indexes will show a smaller drop than in prior months, though no clear recovery yet.
basis for a cautious outlook on next months industry
The passage questions a rapid upturn in industrial activity over the coming months and whether spring conditions will return to normal. It suggests any improvement might be only slightly above seasonal norms, leaving a safer expectation for a closer approach to normal by fall.
