Hog Prices High.

Chicago, ILL.,, June 15.-The
highest June price for live hogs
since 1902 was established mt The
Union Live Stock Yards today
when the hest offered sold at IS
a hundred pounds. With the sx-
ception of 1902 this is the highest
price recorded since the Cudahy
corner in pork in 1903, when live
hogs sold at 1915 hundred
weight. The prevailing high
prices are due 10 moderate re-
ceipts of live hogs this spring at
all Western packing eenters, the
extremely high prices OF grain
last year prompting many farm.
ers TO feed fewer animals. To
days prices are more than ~
higher than a year ago.
Receipts Of hogs today at tLe
nine leading markets OF the West
were $4,000 head less than foI
the corresponding day last week
and $4,000 less than for the same
day week ago.
As a result of the scarcity ol

BINDERS RAISED 500.
Methods Of international Harvest
or Co. Exposed.

jefferson City, Mo-, June 15.-I
The most important testimony de-
veloped in the hearing OF the in
ternational Harvester Company Of
America, before Judge Theodore
Brace as special commissioner
here, was the fact that the
company had reduced the price of
wagons ~ per wagon in this state
where there was strong eompc-
tition, but that it has increased
the price of its binders sold in the
state from 800 to$l07 so and that
il was seldom that the price OF
binders were cut.
The testimony was given By
William X. Yancey Of Kansas
City, a general state agent for the
company at that place. He was
with the Deering company until
1902 when the new company was
formed. He said that prior TO
1902, there was great competition
between the different companies
in selling harvester machinery
and that the price was often cut
from 50 to SIS on a binder, in
order TO make q sale. Now, the
price is seldom cut, only when il
was necessary to unload machines
at an agency or when they were
out Of date, because Of improved
machines which would go on the
market the next day.
lie said he considered the ole
machine of their company better
than the new machines of thcil
competitors, hence there was M
necessity TO cut the price to ge'
the business. The competitor;
with his company Of binders h
said, were the Acme, the Johnson
and the Wood. His company haC
the Deering, the Mccormick, tn
Champion, the Osborn, the PLANE
and the Milwaukee. The compan.
had four general agents in thi
state, without two other genera
agents who operated part of tn
time in the state. They had abou
the same number Of persons en-
ployed, general agents, blockmer
solicitors, and local agents, as di'
all the companies before the con
solidation in 1902, and the form
alton of the new compay.
The price of binders, he SAID
remained the same until 1901
when an increase was made b'
cause of the increased price d
labor and material.
