Hoo and Cattle Priees.

Hogs are selling practically s375
higher than cattle. One Is bringing
new record price and the other only a
few notches lower than the record es-
tablished in recent weeks.
Cattle are cheap in comparison with
hogs, and the only factor restraining
an advance in cattle values is public
dstrust Of beef as a liberal diet, all OF
which must he looked upon as only a
temporary condition.
II hogs continue to sell at recent
high levels. or go to $500. as many
believe they will before the crest of
the bullish movement has been reached,
choice cattle will bring $1,000 and more
and the short fed grades will cash at
s10.0OI11.50. with only common beef
grades under $1,000.
A dollar will buy more beef than
pork right now, and when that situa-
ton is well understood by the public
as against pork.
Skeptics who look upon the beef cat
tie market as resting at a level that
can not icng be maintained should re
fleet that the hog market is in far the
more precarious position and likely to
drop much faster whenever the demand
ceases to be keen than will be the case
with beef.
a hog crop can be made in a compar-
atively short time. Not so with beef.
Hogs may continue to go higher
while the runs are shortening up, but
the impression in trade circles Is that
hogs are now far out of line as COM
pared with cattle and any very strong
resumption of cattle demand will ere
ate a much greater bullish force in that
line of trade in hogs from now on.

He Couldn't Lose.

One of the justices Of the supreme
court tells Of young lawyer in the
west who was trying his first case be-.
fore the late Justice Harlan. The youth
full attorney had evidently conned his
argument until he knew 1t by heart. Be-
fore he had consumed ten minutes in
his oratorical effort the justice had de-
cided the case in his favor and told
him so. Despite this, the young lawyer
would riot cease. 1t seemed that he had
attained such momentum that ne
could not stop.
Finally Justice Harlan leaned forward
and In the politest of tones, said:
Mr.. Smith, despite your arguments
the court has concluded to decide this
case in your favor."-Harper's Maya
