PIG PRICES
WHANGAREI, September 23. It was announced, to-day, by the Minister of Marketing (Mr Barclay) that after consultation with tne Staoilisation Commission, it had been decided to guarantee pig producers that the present Winter and oummei price schedules for baconer and porker pigs will be maintained lor at least two lull seasons. This means in effect, said Mr Barclay, that these prices are guaranteed to producers for the period October 1, 1943, to September 30, 1945. In addition, the heads-on basis for porkers win be continued throughout this period, whereas last season they were on the heads-off basis for Summer months. Negotiations are now taking place with the Australian Government, which it is hoped _ will secure increased supplies of grain at prices not in excess of the December 1 15 level, and probably somewhat lower.
