National Live Stock Inspector: People |
want TO know why hogs are lower-it is /
because they are plentiful. The East /
ern country is full Of hogs and the West 1
ern packing is the largest ever known. /
Nearly all the markets show increased /
hog receipts this year and there are new /
markets getting hogs they never had be- |
fore. out of IS points in n West IS /
show increased packing for the year, but :
the greatest factor IN depressing prices /
is that Eastern markets are so well sup /
Piled that the usual orders to Western (
markets are largely reduced.
