THE HOG onor.
The ILLINOIS State Register aayH: "Tho MINI
hor OF hogs of all agcs In this State on May /,
1873. as returned by the local AssoBsors, was
8,6G0, ,0s9, and they woro valued at s11, ,27o, ,41G
or ~ average Of S817 por head. At the Farm
ers' Northwestern Convention held in Chicago
on Oct. "a, . resolution was adopted recoin-
mcndfng to tho formers Of tho Northwest tho
policy Of holding their hogs out Of mnrlot until
tLo price reaches 95 per 100 groas, but that this
resolution wholly failed Of effoot ia shown BY
the fact that the rocoipts at Chicago and ST.
Louis aro larger for tho carly months Of
tho season than evor before, aud by tho
further fact that tho ruling rates at thoao two
commanding points arc very much below TINT
liked BY tho resolution. Tho truth is practically
That tho farnor must market his hogs Us sooa 81
they aro in condition. Ho is driven to it BY his
necessity nnd by tho fact thas ho is under
heavy oxponso for food. On tho othor hand tho
packers can combine and flx price, and II tho
farmers rcfuse to accede thereto, they may ro-
Euso to opon thoir alaughter-houses.
