SHARP DECLINE
AMERICAN LIVESTOCK PRICES STOCK MARKETS JAMMED (Rec. 1.15 p.m.) NEW YORK, October 17. Under the heaviest shipments of the year livestock prices declined from the all-time high levels established on the previous two days. Beef values dropped one to 10 dollars each 1001 b. Scores of thousands of animals, including 117,000 pigs, jammed the MidWestern stockyards. Most commodities, including butter, eggs, and poultry, are also slightly de-
Hated, but still far exceed the old Office of Price Administration ceilings. The O.P.A. abolished coffee price control, contending that the supply now balances the demand.
