Broadest price advance results from OPA action
The July surge in prices after temporary suspension of OPA controls is reported by the Town Crop and Live Stock Reporting Service. The price received index rose to 260 on July 15, a record high, with strong gains across major categories though corn, hogs, and beef cattle lagged. The parity ratio reached 137, and the service notes the national index of prices paid rose 11 points in July. A farm parity outlook suggests about a 30 percent advantage, similar to 1919 levels. The report also notes a local church funeral near Conesville and obituaries for Mr Kennedy of Tucson whose survivors include a widow and three children.
