through until grass grows again, and
they. too are selling.
fne SITUATION III the Wool market Is
growing stronger every day, but this
consideration has little weight with
farmers who are paying $40 per ton
Tor hay and 7b cents per bushel for
corn. For the immediate future, there
is nothing I'm sight 10 lend strength 10
the situation, and prices must go
lower.
The headlong rush to sell fat hogs
continues. and although the trade
still takes them. promptly. without
shading values very much, the situa-
ton is growing weaker. While the
hogs are disappearing, IL cannot be
denied that they still exist In the form
OF product" slowed away in the i'm
mense provision warehouses OF the
country. This knowledge imparts a
feeling OF weakness to the market
which cannot be dispelled. even by
the fact that hog runs must OF neces-
sity become much smaller as the sea-
son grows older. Just now, all con-
ditions seem to combine 10 coax the
hog marketward. Small supplies OF
corn are causing the feeder to take
just the opposite course from that
which he took last year, when he held
his hogs back until March to put on
all the weight possible before allowing
them 10 come forward. A run OF near
ly 10000 hogs In Chicago, Monday,
acted as a ''wet-blanket" on the al
ready over-burdened market and many
OF the bulls threw up their hands.
Another weak feature of the present
outlook Is the lack OF demand for our
hog products from the other side. Ger
many is stir In the market for our
lard, but American packers find II
necessary TO do some peddling in con-
nection with nearly all other lines OF
clearinghouse products. In Canada.
conditions are quite different, hogs
being quoted at $3.50 in Montreal;
grain Is more plentiful In the Domin-
ION and hogs are scarce. The outlook
here In the stales for the next 80 days
Is not encouraging, especially as the
Lenten season Is sure 10 complicate
the situation somewhat.
