A new controversy has broken
out in the West, dispute which
is IA branch of the one which the
Patrons Of Husbandry are carrying
on against everything tending to
decrease the farmers profits. This
il described as a war between the
'splow-maxers".. and the ''plow-
drivers and has broken out
chiefly in Iowa and Illinois. 1t
appears that the pillow companies
have resolved in Illinois TO sell no
plows to farmers clubs or grangers
except at retail prices. This af-
fects Iowa as well as Illinois, and
IN the former State the manufac-
turers of harvesters have taken
somewhat similar action. In res
taliati0n the Illinois State Grange
has resolved to buy no more plows
of either the makers or theiragents
while in Iowat the State Grange has
resolved to go into the business of
manufacturing harvesters for itself
This controversy is good deal
similar to that conducted in behalf
Of "cheap transportation"

A PORK PANIC.
A CRISIS IN THE HOG TRADE.
The Cause oft Explained.

The Cause oft Explained
NEW YORK, Jan S.-The excite
ment in produce exchange arising
from rapid advances in lard and
pork during the past month, cul-
minated yesterday with the re-
ported failure Of several pork
packers and brokers to keep up
their margins on sales for future
delivery. Some Of the rumors
proved groundIesss, bat inquiry
developed the fact that the loose
manner of speculations in provis.
ions brought about "a crisis in he
pork trade from which many
suffer. The advance in pork and
lard has been based on the alIedged
scantiness of the Western crop but
packers say hogs are coming for
ward as plenty this season as
ever. and besides large quantities
were slowed away for the purpose
of cornering the market. Prices,
therefore, must soon come down
from present rates.
