lambs ready TO come forward as soon
as the weather Will. permit and prices
warrant the movement.
The reaction in hog prices which
has been dominating the market OF
late was no more than could have
been expected under the circum-
stances The bulge was abrupt and
the gain in values almost unpfeee-
dented In the history OF the trade.
The most lamentable feature of the
current trade is the rush OF young
pigs to market. Growers should have
too much pride In their work to send
such unstable stun to market. They
should make Il good before sending Il
forward II even II at loss. The out
look favors steady trade at about
present prices for the next 80 days.
