HOGS COMMANDING HIGHER
PRICE THAN FOR MONTHS

The price of fat hogs has been ad-
vancing rapidly of late, and as high
as $3.50 per hundred pounds is quoted
by buyers. This illustrates the fact that
there is something rotten in the mar
ket quotations in Los Angeles, for the
Los Angeles papers and the quotations
the Press receive are still at S12 cents
in that city. This is on par with the
low quotations on hay. The Press is
thus brought to plead guilty to the fol
lowing indictment received from
Rrawley reader of the paper, promisipS
to do what lies in its power to correct
the shortcoming in the future and to
endeavor to find out why the Los An
geles newspapers also publish mislead-
ing quotations:
Editor Press: Dear Sir: On March 10
l notice the Los Angeles market quo
tations on hogs quoted by the Press at
to 712 cents per 100. That same day
the Brawley buyers were offering Sc
for hogs in Brawley, which would have
meant not less than an S34 market in
Los Angeles. The Press continued to
quote the same price of to z when

clude all aliens who have not declared
their intention of becoming citizens
