HOGS MAKING MONEY.
Parity Between Pork on the Hoof and
Provision Options Has Been De-

Chicago. Jan. 5.-Hogs are selling
much lower than provisions al present.
Said hog man today: "On the basis
Of Saturdays prices for provisions hogs
are worth at least s5.25, with some ex-
perts in the trade figuring on their be-
ing worth $3.50. AS the bulk OF hogs
are selling around s4.75. this would

slaughterers OF so cents per hundred
pounds, or $3.50 on 800 pound hog.
TO large concern killing 10000 hogs
n day this means Il clean profit OF over
$4,000. and as such wide profits are
rare, strenuous competition among the
packers to secure these profits can be
expected"
The average weight of hogs received
at Chicago last week, as expected,
shows a gain OF two pounds compared
with the previous week, but it is ex-
actly the same as the average of the
same week In 1902. The average was
10 pounds, against eos the previous
week. Two weeiss ago It was 219. The
average for the week corresponding
with this in 1902 was 200 pounds and

STATEMENT TO FOREIGN HOUSE
One of the Old and Conservative Euro
pean Houses on Wall Street Says
Nearly All Trust Prosecutions Have
Been Practical Failures-sentimen
Regarding Northern Securities Case.

/ New York, Jan. 5.-The following
! significant paragraph was sent this
week to the foreign houses. in Lon
| don, Amsterdam and Berlin, by one
of the old and conservative European
houses on Wall street. 1t is believed
TO represent almost exactly the sent-
ments of the Hill lawyers and also
of other railroad lawyers who have
taken the Northern Securities case un-
der considerations:
1t may not be matter of common
knowledge, but 1t is nevertheless a face,
that trust prosecutions have been prac-
teal failures All of the dozen or mora
trusts existing at the time of the en-
actment of the antitrust statute are
alive to day. Since then upward of a
hundred new organizations have come
into existence. From the record of the
department of Justice II is learned that
the United States has been complain
ant in twenty-six cases in thirteen
years and has been defeated outright
eleven times. In ten favora BILE de-
cisions four We're against labor or

6 per cent.
These figures reflect period OF
five months upon which the manage
ment of Union Pacific Is will to ac-
cept congratulations. The showing in
net is not at all remarkable 1t is
made in contrast with period during
which the machinists OF the system
were doing their best to cripple the
road by the strike. This year without
the strike. the net would have shown
much better, but for the fact that the
wages and cost of materials are much
higher. On the whole INST earnings are
satisfactory to the management.
1t is. however, in gross that the road
has done better than expected. A yea.'
ago the critics of Wall street picked
out the Hartman lines for slaughter
this year. 1t was also prophecied that
the Hill lines would this year divert
even more traffic to the Puget Sound
ports than they took last year, and
would leave Portland standing still
Portland is still doing business and is
securing just about its share of the
transcontinental business. The COM
petition expected from Mr.. Hill failed
to materializa. because of the ligh,
crop of the northwest and the new
friendly relationship that is now
known to exist between Mr.. Hill and
Mr.. Hartman.
Figures for the earnings of Burling-
ton and Northern Pacific are not pub
lished regularly. Your CORES pendent,
however is in a position to state that
the gross earnings of all three Hill
lines up to December /. will show an
Increase of about 6 per cent. The In
crease in round numbers is $4.250,0 900,
making total gross for that period
$73,250,OOO. OF This increase Great
Northern supplied less than 100000
Northern Pacific and Burlington have
therefore done well. Their gross earn
ings rank alongside of the record of
the Union Pacific.
Wall street has been guessing wide
of the mark on the northwest for the
past six months. There has been nei-
Their the falling OF in business nor
the shortness of cash that was expect
ed. Mr.. Hartman thinks that the
guesses Of Wall street will continue to
be wrong for the next six months.
Lumber trade from Oregon Short Line
and ore trade from Union and Central
Pacific have made up for the Short
