PIG PRICES
Guarantee Of Maintenance (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WHANGAREI, September 23. It was announced today by the Minister of Marketing, Mr. .Barclay, that, after consultation with the Stabilization Commission, it had been decided to guarantee pig producers that the present winter and summer price schedules for baconer and porker pigs would lie maintained for at: least: two full seasons. “This means, in effect,” said Mr. Barclay, “that those prices are guaranteed to producers for the period October 1, 1943, to September 30, 1945. In addition, the heads on the basis for porkers will be continued throughout: this periocj, whereas last season they were on heads of the basis for the summer months.” Negotiations were now taking place with the Australian Government which, it was hoped, would secure increased supplies of grain at prices not in excess of the December 15 level, and probably somewhat lower, Mr. Barclay said.
