HOGS TAKE HIGH
GEAR AND MOUNT
Twelve Sixty-Five Is Paid at
Omaha Yards for One Load
on Wednesday.
FIFTEEN DOLLARS SOON
HIS Hiqhness, the Hog
Fifteen cent hogs1

TItceH 'SeHl HOBs!
Quite likely, and very soon. Top
price in Omaha yesterday was
nearer SIS per hundred for hogs than
the top two months ago was to the
present price. On December IS, 1916,
the highest price paid for hogs in
Omaha was $3.50; yesterday load
from Boone county went over the
scales at $l265, an advance OF $2.85
in two months, while only $2.35 IS
needed to set the mark at SIS. At
Chicago yesterday the top was $l2.95,
Mystery in the Advance.
What has started this climb in hogs,
and what supports it, is mystifyng
the commission men. Everything that
comes in shape Of hog frds ready
sale, and the price is steadily going
higher. The sellers are giving them
selves no uneasiness. for they have
all the better Of the situation. Nor do
the packers appear to be unduly exer-
CiSeu over inc otudtlOll, lOi tHCy art
taking everything that comes, and
paying for it. Prices seem to depend
on what the commission MAJ has the
nerve to ask for his consignments.
Shortage Of Hogs Alleged.
Over at Chicago some OF the COM
mission men allege a shortage of a
million head of hogs at the eleven
principal markets. This does not ap-
ply to Omaha, for the receipts here
since the middle OF December show
an increase OF H. 1897 over the same
time year previous. Figures issued
by the government, giving the mum.
Der of swine on farms in the United
States showed a decrease Of $4,000
for the year. Iowa. Illinois and Ne
braska, the three great hog raising
states of the union, each showed an
increase, the total for Nebraska being
