$4,000

The Cincinnati Gazette holds that the
present high price oI hogs does not indi-
cate short supply. It's argument Ia that
for the past three years the price Of pork
and lard has been so low that consump-
lion has been stimulated 10 an unprece.
deuted degree, not only in this country
but In Europe, and the stock Of old meats
and lard having become exhausted, the
demand for this seasons product so far
outruns the supply, that the market for
hogs merely tollowes the law Of supply
and demand, and prices advance under q
brisk competition, which is increased by
the short interest which has been rushed
to cover outstanding contracts at steadily
advancing prices.
The Gazette concludes an article on the
hog market as follows:
whether the demand for pork and
lard will keep up at the enhanced value,
10 point large enough to absorb the pro.
duct Of the season, is matter for the fu.
ture 10 determine, and on which opinions
arc divided, but tho effect Of the distribu.
tion OF so large an amount OF money as
the hogs now being marketed will bring,
cannot be otherwise than aalutary upon
the general trade and prosperity ot the
country"

hesltancy on the part ol the buyers oI
hogs. Tho receipts on Saturday in thai

the demand, and the advlces are thai
buyers are becoming more cautious and
are now holding off," Prices were shaded
at the close and good many hogs in the
pens were unsold, The price was "$6 9O
TO 90 for common. to 81 70 for very
choice" The question now Is, are prices
more likely to recede than advance
According to the Cincinnati Price Cur.
rent ot Friday the packing operations to

indicate the short supply OF hogs that
