Backward Notes.

Jim Hill, of Hill & G., Of Abel, says
the demand is not as urgent as it was
for feeders probably owing to the adj
vancing corn market. He reports q
great scarcity of fat cattle in his coun-
try which is one of the largest feeding
localities in the state.
About 1,17s carloads Of hog products
were forwarded from Chicago during
received. Carloads Of hog products
shipped year ago last week, sos.
Harry Fraser, a large feeder at Pio-
neer, was here Monday with two cars
of 254 pound hogs, which sold at $5.15.
They were about one-half sows and he
was well pleased with his sale. He for
merly lived at Waterman, ILL.,, but ten
years ago bought 240 acres of land In
Iowa. paying $35 per acre. He has re-
fused $50 per acre within the last year.
He reports fewer cattle being fed this
fall than usual, a good crop of corn.
which is selling at 32c per bushel. and
the usual supply Of shoats, with old
hogs very scarce.
Shipments of hog products from Chi
caso last week included about 434 1000
pcs Of hams. 117,00o pcs of shoulders
and 243.ooo pcs Of sides. For the cor
responding time last year the ship
ments were about $4,000 pcs Of hams
$4,000 pcs Of shoulders and 22b,0 pcs
OF sides.
Chicago received 3ss.s13 head of all
kinds OF live stock. 6,7sa cars last
week Cattle averaged 81, hogs 70
