THE HOG MARKET.

The Cassidy Packing Co. quotes
hogs on the foot today at 1918 and
S7.OO per 100 pounds. They have had
no trouble in getting all the hogs that
they want and have noticed no search
ty in this county. They will not ven
ture an opinion as to the outlook for
still higher prices.
Hogs are higher now than they have
been since 1882, when the price in
Minneapolis reached $40. That fig
ure has not been exceeded since the
war.
Theodore Louis, of Menominee,
Wis, who is member of the corps of
farmers institute conductors which
was in the city today, and whose spe-
cialty is hog raising, was seen by a
FREE PRESS reporter this morning.
He has large hog ranch on his farm
and is known as one O. the most sue
cessful raisers in the Northwest. In
reply to a question as to how long the
high prices in hog flesh will continue,
he said: II think that the prices will
rule unusually high for two years to
come. You see, the present high
prices are causing the farmers to sell
all the hogs that they can possibly
spare, even down to the old breeding
sows. Next year there will still be a
W nd olcn hn al flo
the market will be supplied by imma-
ture breeders. At the end of two
years the farmers will have gone into
hog raising to such an extent that
there will be oyerproduction and the
prices will be depressed. This is
the way they do whenever any one
product is high. 1t is mistake the
farmers make, feeding on high mar
ket to sell on low market.
"You ask how the present high pri-
ces were caused. 1t came about
through general scarcity of hogs all
over the country, followed by the
opening of European markets for our
products. A large expectation took
place at time when there was nat
ural shortage. The Chicago packing
houses have handled 100000 fewer
hogs during 1892 than during the pre-
ceding year, and Armour has dis
charged l, 800 employees. But the east
ern packing houses have handled an
INCREASED number Of hogs. 1t is diff
ficult to say whether prices will GO
any higher than they now are"
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1893-01-20

the State would be the laughing
stock of the country if it were not
given better showing than $50, 1000
would afford. Such fiasco would be
disastrous in the extreme, for the
prosperity of the State for the next
few years will depend in no small de-
gree upon the impression made by its
exhibit at the Worlds Fair upon the
capitalists and homeseekers assem-
bled there.
With due appreciation of the re-
sponsibilities resting upon them, the
commissioners set about deviSing
ways and means of making up the
alarming deficit. Their final decision
was to endeavOr to secure a guaran-
tee fund of 100000 additional, the
public spirited citizens of each coun-
ty to sign notes for share Of the
100000 propOrtionate to the assessed
valuation of the county as compared
with the total assessed valuation of
the state.
By a bill framed by Senator La
Due, the legislature is asked to reim-
burSe the men who made their notes
FOR 100000 and thus enable the COM
mission to perform it's work in sat-
iSfactOry manner. 1t is no more than
just and fair. 1t is no more than a
majority of the taxpayers of the State
would have expected of the present
Legislature if the guarantee fund had
not been secured.

A NEEDED APPROPRIATION.

The State Normal Board held a
meeting at st. Paul yesterday and de-
sided to ask for the following appro-
priatiOns:
For the Normal school at Winona,
to erect an additional building, $780,
900, for the increase in current eX-
penses, $1,000; for ST. Cloud Normal
school, completing addition, 1923, 900,
for heating and furnishing same, $l5,-
600, for increase in current expenses.
So. 900: for addition to Mankato school,
including heating and repairs, $50, 900,
for increase in current expenses, 81
600: for purpose of providing dormitOry
facilities at Moorhead, $1,000: total,
$4,000.
A bill will be framed to appropriate
the sums mentioned for each school.
1t will soon be introduced into the
house.
1t is not likely that all of the
schools will obtain all that is asked,
but when the scaling down process is
applied the appropriation for the
Mankato Normal school should be
spared. The needs for the increased
room which it provides for have been
too often spoken of in these columns
to need repetition at this time, and
the entire sum named is absolutely
required. Despite the fact that Man
katO has year after year been denied
the appropriation that it needs, while
n+l, Al fro mi
lavish hand, the local school has be-
com ethe foremost in the state, both
in point of numbers and general eff
cheney, and the graduating class of
nearly 100 which will be turned out
next spring will he the largest ever
graduated from any Normal school in
the state.
Committees of both branches Of the
legislature will visit MankatO next
month for the purpose of looking into
the needs of the school, and our bust
ness men should be prepared to pro-
perly entertain the visitors and show
them the necessities of the situation.
Some stout battling will be required
if the appropriation is to be secured,
and the entire city has an interest in
the matter Blue Earth county'S SEN

1t might be proper to state here
that the solemn agreement entered

is an apparent endeavor in some of
these quarters to hold Mankato back.
1t would be unfortunate for all con-

itself in the lobby of the legislature.
Gov. Nelson yesterday reappointed
Geo. III. Clark as resident director for
the Mankato school. Mr.. Clark has

The people of ST. James are talk
ing of raising $4,000 to build a beet
sugar refinery with daily capacity
of % tons. 1t would be a source of
profit to the farmers of that vicinity
as well as to the business men of the
city. MankatO ought to make stir
in the same direction. 1t would be a
valuable institution to have in our
midst and prove far more profitable
to the farmer than wheat.
