toward higher prices. Among the low priced
shares only Minneapolis and St.Paul showed any
special animation. While dull and featureiess
the whole market shared In the firm temper of
the leaders. In the afternoon the gains among
the leaders assumed material proportions. The
market closed very dull, but firm, at or near the
highest prices Of the day.

1924 900 there were few features OF note. Several
issues scored advances.

GREAT HOG SHORTAGE.
1t Far Exceeds the Predictions OF
Packers

CHICAGO, Dec. 25.-There is dull
ness about packing town nowadays that
has not been paralleled for many years.
Since Dec. l 5000 men have been dis
charged, and the plants of the big pack
ers are hardly working at half their ca
pacity. The indications are that unless
the supply of hogs is speedily increased
further reductions will be necessary.
This condition of things has been
brought about by ali unusual shortage
in the hog crop. This shortage is read
ilv shown by the following statistics:
From Nov. l to Dec. 81, Western pack
ing was but 2,2S0,OO0, against 3.S.0.O00
shortage of 1910, 900 hogs for the West.
Chicago, for the same period this year,
packed 100000 against 1,470,000 last
year, showing a shortage Tor
this market of nearly 100000.
Leading packers, while they assert that
this condition of affairs was fOreseen in
part, yet admit that the shortage greatly
exceeds the calculations of the shrewd-
est among them, and that some of them
were caught On the wrong side of the
market. They admit that there does
not seem to be any Immediate relief
from the embarrassing situation, since
the shortage is daily becoming greater,
and some OF them 60 so far as to assert
that no relief can come until the next
spring crop of hogs is marketed. The.
shortage is ascribed TO variety of
causes, chief among which is the floods
of last spring, which killed off the young
pigs in many sections. The low price
of corn last spring, which enabled farm
erS to fatten and market their hogs
earlier than usual. is also considered an
important factor in the present short
aUa
