Processing Tax on Hogs Unchanged
Washington reports the hog processing tax remains at one dollar and fifty cents per hundredweight until February 1 instead of rising to 1.50 on December 31. Secretary Wallace cites continued large slaughter as the reason and notes higher January February collections would swell surplus stocks and depress hog prices. Government data show federally inspected hog slaughter rose to 4 501 000 in November, with December likely similar, and effects of the emergency market program not evident until January or March 1934.
