Hogs are way up and bound to go
higher, and cattle are bound to follow
| them. 1t seems as if we had struck
bottom at last and have started on
the upgrade. Every body will de-
/ vOutly hope this is true, and they
will hope also that the upgrade may
/ last as long as the down grade did.
And by-the-way isn't the steady adj
vance in the price of hogs rather a
| dampener on the theory that the Big
Four absolutely control prices, and
that all stock growers are at the
mercy of "the cOmbine?" If that
theory were true would not the price
always be low? We guess, after all,
| that supply and demand have more
to do with fixing prices than the Big
Four or any other combine. Hogs
are Ugh probably because hogs are
sca<ce.
