BIG LARD DEAL.
swIft g. Company Tighten Hold on
Lard Corner.

Chicago. H., Sept THE Sep.
tember lard deal was inaugurated
in earnest today by the delivery OF
10000 tierces on September contracts
on the board of trade Swift & Co.
took in the lard and paid for IT,
During the balance Of September 1t
ls expected that from 100000 to l5O,-
600 tierces additional lard will find its
way to this market; that 1t will be de-
liyered to Swift G. Co. and paid for
by that concern. When the fact Is
considered that each lard tierce con-
tains $40 pounds and that an average
price of 9 cents per pound Will nave 10
be paid for the lard, the money need
ed will be UP in the millions.
The lard will come largely from
outside or country packers having
houses in the west or corn belt,
When Swift G. Co began to make
September purchases the price Of lard
was ten cents a pound, Since then It
steadily declined from that price to
cents. and is now about 8H cents
pound.
The foreigners are short a big line

fancy prices to cover their shortage.
The stock yards firm has announced
that it has enough ready cash on hand
to buy all the lard that is brought to
/ it,
Ii is understood that Swift & Co. are
now heavy losers, but expect to emerge
from the war with small fortune BE-
fore the end Of the battle is reached.
Rumor has it that Nelson Morris ::
/ co. are tiercing lard and delivering II
to Swift G. Co.
Swift G Co. have already sold ap
Droximately $4,000 tierces Of cash lard
to the foreigners with the stipulation
that the product must be shipped
abroad and not allowed to remain IN
this country. This has been done iol
t the purpose of getting the lard out o.
the market The lard purchased bJ

taken at reduced prices.
