THE HOG OFDENMARK
Proving to Be Dangerous Rival OF
the American Porker.
Rapid Growth as n Producer and Ex-
porter of Hogs and Hog Products
Large Cooperative Slaughter
Houses Being Established

The American hog has a European
rival. Denmark has come into the
field as a producer and exporter OF
hogs and hog products, with a growth
at least Interesting if not suggestive
to American producers of commod-
ity whose export value grew from
$50, zoos, 69S in 1891 to S119,961,503 IN
1901. These figures show the total
value of hog products exported from
the United States in 1891 and 1901 re-
spectively, the details for 1901 being:
Lard, SAC, 56O,14S; bacon, $37, 499, OPS;
hams, So, s42, 773; sailed and picked
pork, $9,926, 633; fresh pork, $2,424,-
537, and canned pork, S708.3s1.
The fact that hog products form
the largest single item in the expor-
tations of the United States, having
exceeded last year by 100000 those
of the manufactures of iron and steel,
whose exports have attracted so
much attention, lends interest to
some facts which have just reached
the treasury bureau of statistics re-
garding the remarkabl development
of the hog packing industry of Den
mark. This information is published
in the Danish Export Review, and
shows that the number of head of
swine in Denmark has increased from
3O1, 900 in 1861 to III, ZOO in 1881 and
1,16S,000 in 1898, the latest year for
which statistics are availa BILE. The
prohibition of the importation of live
hogs into Germany and the United
Kingdom, which countries were Den
marks principal customers in this
line, resulted in the establishment of
slaughter houses in Denmark and the
increase in the production of Danish
bacon and hams in recent years has
been phenomenal. The exports of
hams and bacon from Denmark have
grown from 100000 Danish pounds
in 1878 to 129, zoe, 900 Danish pounds
in 1898; the value increasing from
4,11O,O0O kroner in 1873 to 47,OSO,OOO
kroner in 1898, the value of the crown
being 26.S cents.
AS a consequence of the change
from the export of live swine to that
of slaughtered animals, the slaughter
houses have risen to the greatest inn
portance. in Denmark during the last
ten or fifteen years. Whilst formerly
the slaughter houses belonged to pri-
vate individuals, a large number of
joint and cooperative slaughter
houses have been established during
this period. This movement COM
menced in 1887 on account of the Ger
man importation prohibition, when it
became necessary to kill consider.
able number of swine which were for
merly sent to Germany alive for sale
in England.
The following table shows the enor-
nous amount of business transacted
by the cooperative slaughter houses:

Mexican Government Gives $22.OOO,-
900 Concession to Detroiter to
Build Line,

One of the most important railroad
deals of recent date has just been
completed in the City of Mexico, when
Sidney A. Wetherbee, of Detroit, Sc
cured concessions on 1900 miles of
railroad from the Mexican govern
ment. The concessions were $4,000 a
mile cash for the construction of the
road and a grant of 100000 acres of
land, the total aggregating $22, OoO,-
600. The line will run from the Kan
sas City & Orient railroad at Preside
Del Norte to Metamora, and thence to
the east coast of Mexico. Following
the east coast the road will run to
Campechi, on the gulf.
At Metamora the Mexican road will
connect with the Brownsville, Corpus
Christi & Gulf railroad, a line 100
miles long, that will have it's southern
terminus at Brownsville, Tex, oppo-
site Metamora. Engineers are now
verifying the survey on this line pre-
paratory to starting work of construc-
ton at once. When the two lines are
completed an almost air line to ST.

Severe Blow to Russia.

The correspondent of the New York
Times at Odessa says recent returns
in regard to Russia's trade with China
bear testimony to the severity of the
blow dealt to Russia by the outbreak
in China. In the first four months
of this year the trade by the Kiakhta
route amounted to $4,000 roubles
($437, 750), as compared with the trade
in the corresponding months of last
year of 6,s00,00O roubles. In the light
of these figures, remarks the corre-
spondent, the attitude of the Russian
journals toward the restoration of
Manchuria to the Chinese is intelli-
gible.
