He blamed the nationwide strike of packlnghouse workcrs. Today's decline in the pork price meant approximately $2.25 less per hog in the return to the farmer at s per pound price of 23 1-2 cents. Blame Strike Stockyards sources said the price sag, first on the local food front since costs started upward several months ago. was due to heavy hog slallghterlngs in the Province.

It was understood here that when the contract was first dis» cussed Canada was prepared to sign for 31.55 a bushel for four )£\'l'5 instead of two years. But Britain preferred to leave the last two years open although they agreed that the price to Canada should not be lower than $1 for any of the four years.
