Hog price outlook points to continued advances through summer
The June pig survey from the Agriculture Department says hog supplies remain tight for the next few months. Prices are expected to rise into late summer as market receipts stay behind 1921 levels, with a likely expansion in hog production in 1926 and a downward swing in prices later. Beef cattle markets in Chicago show record highs for top prime cattle as feed costs push prices up and lean steers are scarce. Top prime cattle reach $14.25 per hundredweight, up $2.60 from May.
