Overview

Excerpt from The Hog Situation, Vol. 15: January 19, 1938 The average price of hogs for December at Chicago was per 100 pounds, compared With in November and for December last year. The lower average price in December than a year earlier was chiefly the result of the weaker consumer and storage demand for hog products. Inspected hog slaughter in December, totaling head, was about 15 percent smaller than that of December 1936. The seasonal increase in hog slaughter from August through December 1937, however, was much greater than average. The percentage increase was the largest on record for this period. Inspected slaughter in December was about two and one-half times larger than that of August, whereas it is usually less than twice as large. The large seasonal increase in hog slaughter slnco last summer has been an important factor in the sharp decline in hog prices in recent months.
