NEW RECORD.

ever, was for one lot Of six fancy
hogs. Tho general price was $40,
and this was maintained despite
tho efforts of the packers to buy
at yesterdays range. indianapolis
reports $1O.25 as the price there;
st. Louis $40; Cincinnati $1o.o5.
Mess pork for May delivery went
to an even $25, a new record, and
IS cents above yesterday.
Chicago, March An eastern ship
per yesterday paid $40 hundred
pounds for load of live hogs on thu
Chicago market, fulfilling traders pre-
dictions that hogs would sell at tina
price before March /. There were
sixty-six hogs in the lot and they net
ted the owner, B. l.. Strohm of Cush
ing, a., $1,740.
Hogs have sold at more than $40 or
the Chicago market before, but the
prices then were Influenced by condi
tions foreign to the hog trade, and yes
terday's general market was regarded
by many traders as the highest record
ed in the history of the trade.
In 1870, the most recent time thai
hogs sold up to that figure, only fat
heavy swine reached the zenith, and
packers had no difficulty in buying
hogs suitable for their requirements
at prices that were so cents to 81
lower than they paid for the same
class yesterday.
A veteran in the trade recalled an
other time when hogs sold at high
prices. This was in 1869. Board OF
trade spectators in that year had sold
great quantities of lard for future de-
livery. When time to make the de-
,liveries arrived, there was scarcely
any lard to be had.
High Prices Due to Shortage Of Hogs
The result was that they paid up to
$11.65 for hogs took the fat to make
lard, which was then retailing at 80
cents a pound, and disposed OF the
dressed meat at almost any price they
could get.
There were no refrigerator plants in
Chicago at that time, and although
curing facilities were pressed to their
utmost, the supply of fresh pork be
came so burdensome that employees in
packing houses were given the priv
ilege of taking home al 1.-The pork ten
derloins and other fancy cuts free OF
charge. Lard was all the hog buyers
wanted.
In December Of 1865, the closing
days of the Civil war period, sales OF
hogs were made at Chicago at $13.25
The price was paid in legal tender OF
"shinplasters" issued by the govern
ment during the scarcity or currency
following the war, and present traders
maintain that when figured on gold
basis prices now are higher than they
were in war time.

speaking of how her hair was falling
out and the doctors did 1t no good.
She says. Aunt, why don't you try
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment?' Mother did and they helped
her. In six months time the itching,
burning and scaling of her head was
over and her hair began growing. To-
day she feels much in debt to Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment for the fine
head of hair she has for an old lady
of seventy-four.
