Referring to the large number Of hogs

says
The MOI III Of November will show rec
ord In the marketing Of hogs largely eX-
ccsdlng any previous November, and eX'
cceding the record FOR any month previous
~ With The single exception Of December
1895. Lost year the December marketing
was over 10 per cent greater than FOR No
yemher, while this } ear IL seems reasonable
to exIcct that December will disclose a de-
crease rather than Increase Ia The com
pnrlson with November. The cnrrcnt offer
ings have been enlarged through the IN
nuence OF high value OF feeding material
How long this may continue before hurry
