SPECULATION In PORK.

A pork epcculator in letter To friend
gives the following account Of his pork opc-
rations. for series Of years, aud Of the
motive which governed him.
bought pork nj three dollars per 100
lbs. gross in 1910 and lost so per cent, on
il. IN is4l bought at Sl,75 nc, and
again lost nbou: 30 per cent on il. In 1872
tho price was 81, 10 net and mndc lit
tie. Ia lS43 paid Sl.,O gross and made.
In 1914 pnid the same price, and, owing
TO failure in the corn crops, | cleared
about so per cent on tho purchase money.
Surprising there would be an over supply
in 1915 from abundant crops, high prices,
&C., for hogs, did not pack. Ny cxpcc-
taiions were realized. In 1916 | reasoned
that owing to the then low prices and aps-
thy Of everybody, hogs would be scarce. as
numbers would be saved over for lS11.--
Well, il turned ont 50, and, owing 10 tho
immense importation. Of specie for bread
stuiis. everybody had money and everybody
wanted to speculate; consequently rcaii-
zcd 100 per cent on my purchase money.
In 1917 | reasoned that there would I've an
over supply, from the fac. that crops and
hogs both were abundant and the excite.
