THE 80 HOG HAS ARRIVED
Not Since 1882 Has the Luscious Pig
Conc so High.

Chicago, Jan. S-The 50 hog arrived
at the Union Stock Yards here, and
his coming marked an epoch in high
prices for hogs.
Except for a short period in 1882
when the price reached 1896 per hun
dred weight. the SO hog has not been
seen here since the Civil War. Con-
tinued intense cold impeding transpor-
tation and an apparent hesitation OF
producers to market their hogs are
the primal causes Of the advance in
prices, which involves all of the pork
products.
