placing of the last Belgian relief
order Aa there does not seem to be
any Indication at the present time
of a decline in hog values we would
consider the selling side of provi-
sions at present undesirable There
Is a big spread between the live hog
and provision futures We have
been expecting this spread to nar-
row and that there would be a de-
cline in provisions rather than an
advance in hog values but it now
looks as if hog prices are coming
closer to the provision futures"
