quite anxious purchasers, and there was |
considerable competition for the offerings

Tho movement of hogs has not been so
large the past week as anticipated by some,
|
ing time last year.. when operations were
on liberal proportions. For the week the
packing at ten leading points has been 35
per cent. less than uring the same time
last year, and since Nov. there is now a
deficiency of about 25 per cent. as com
pared with year ago. Returns given
from eleven leading places show total of
|
pared with ], ,48S, 900 year ago. The re-
duced prices for hogs undoubtedly is a
factor now fully offsetting any cutting in
freight rates, for farmers have faith in
the future and the profit to
be realized in turning corn into pork.
Farmers as class sometimes make mis-
takes, but in late years they generally
seem to have kept pace with the times and
are about as we'll disciplined in the skill,
