Live Hogs Eight Dollars Per Hun
dred-Product Also at Top.
The highest June price for live hogs
since 1882 was established the other
day at the Union Stock Yards, Chi
cago. Best porkers sold at IS per
hundred pounds. With the exception
of 1902, this is the highest price re-
corded for any month since the Cud-
ahy pork corner in 1898, when live
hogs sold at 1915 a hundred weight.
The prevailing high prices are due to
unusually light receipts of live hogs
this spring at all Western packing
centers. the extremely high price of
grain last yea prompting many farm
ers to dispose Of stock rather than
pay for feed stuff. Receipts of hogs
at the nine leading markets Of the
West were 29, 1000 head less than for
the corresponding day last week, and
1880 less than the receipts a a
ago. AS a result Of the scarcity of
hogs, the price Of provisions is now
ne highest in many years.
