The market is at "a stand, with I
prospect Of prices, being establishe
4 fol- some time TO come. The crop
corn is immense, and the farmer
can fatten their hogs at comparatis
little expense, and being uuwiIlin
to accept low prices, will convert
portion oftheir pork into Bacon whic
will not reach the market much cal
lier than spring. The. last contract
that came under our notice we're 64l
I6a; but buyers now refuse to cor
tract at SC. 49,,
At Madison. Iud.,searlyt in tn
season, some $4,000 hogs we're con
ttracted for, at $3.50 net, for whicl
together with lots engaged at th,
market price when the season com
mences, the business men of Madison
have advanced about $230,000. Al
Evansville, Ind., and along the Wa
bash. there is anutter Indifference a
mong buyers TO operate at the &c
cline inLprices. Corn fattened hogs
for November delivery we're offered
in Cincinnati last week at $3.50
without finding buyers. Those who
have bought at Sc and 81 feel very
sore, and are continuing how 10 get
out Of the loss. A house in Evans
vile entered into engagements before
the panic for 5000 head at an aver
age Of IS, to be delivered on the
Wabash. We hear Of several pur-
chases in Gibson county of small lots
at S5.--LouisuNe Courier.
Farmers would offer freely if there
was prospect that $4s$4 % could
be obtained; but packers will name
no price whatever, not even a figure
materially under those quotations.
Recently, 200 head, averaging 200
lbs gross, sold at "a net, but they
we're Cor shipment. Another 10. of
250 head was offered to-day at the
same rate. but without finding pur-
chaser. This is a heavy decline, bat
the state of the times renderi it ineyi-
liable, and farmers are necessitated to
take what they Can get, or hold over
10 the next season.--DanviUe ken-
'uehyl Tribune.
The Chicago Tribune says Of hogs
% that and other sections:
For present deIivery,S4 1906 %,
gross, is paid for hogs in this market,
hough no contracts for November
delivery have been made recently;
md if money matters should grow
10 better, not over 81 net is likely
% be paid during the packing season
At Burlington, Iowa, we learn that
So so, gross, only is now paid, which
S some "a 25 net; and at this rate
could be delivered here at. about So
let. To-day railroad receipts were 700
read. At Baltimore, az We learn by
etter, ST 80 net is paid, buta good
many hogs p ess on The market,
While cut meats are quoted dull and
over.
We hear of sale of 200
logs at 81, within day or two, and
saturday ESQ were offered at the
anne price, but purchaser could
.ot be obtained. This is terrible
umble in price, and must disappoint
he expectations of great many
'orsons. But there is no help for it,
there is little money here or else
vhere, to invest in this way, and
armers may make up their mind to
axe less than the sum named, or to
ieep their hogs over another year.
luckily, the corn crop is so great
hat it will not cost as much as US ual
o keep their stock through the win
er, and they may choose to keep
hem another year. If the farmers
re, as a general thing, free from Pc
,uniary troubles which so Cypress our
owns and cities, they will yet find
hat they, too, are great sufferers, in
he depreciation Of every article
which is produced Upon their farms,
md they should come forward to
right things as speedily as possible.
