Hogs i'm Chicago.

CHICAGO, Dec. Is.
without premonition and without any
apparent cause for the advance, our
proyision markets through the country
have been much excited during the
week. and speculation has been ram
pant. But already there seem signs OF
returning reason, and reaction as sud
den as the advance may occur at any
moment.
Farmers do not deny that the supply
of hogs is largely in excess of last year,
and the problem remains unsolved, what
is to be done with the surplus should
high prices prevent its expectation
Previous To the late advance there had
been a growing demand for foreign mar
kets, but the high priceshave complete
ly destroyed it. At decline to former
prices it would be renewed somewhat,
but even then shippers would not be
sanguine of perfectly safe and profita-
Bile business.
The receipts of hogs forthe week sum
up as follows. viz: Dressed, 1896; live,
24,6l3; total, q 200; and the shipments,
c14.
The packing to the present time ap-
proximates to 1O1 600 head of hogs and
~, 600 cattle. Last year we had only
packed some 10000 hogs. The hog mar
ket has been advancing daily, and the
drovers and dealers from the country
have realized large profits. Should the
weather moderate, or should we have a
light fall of snow, to render the roads
passable, we may expect large receipts
of hogs for the next two weeks.
Dressed hogs have participated i'll the
advance, but not to an equal extent.
There was little inducemcnt forpackcrs
to purchase dressed hogs, and they find
so much difficulty in dispensing of the
product that prices corresponding with
those current for live can never he ex-
pccted. The market has ranged from
) 75a6 70 for choice weights, closing at
6 00a6 81 for light to choice weights,
gross. The marke: for dressed hogs de-
clined soc, closing at 6 75a7 20, dividing
OH 200 lbs.
