chapter have been written in the
delayed shipment story. = The twelve
carloads OF hogs shipped from here on
Monday Of last week were reported 70
have arrived In Chicago and to have
been on the market On Saturday. :,
The Saturday evening papers told OF
the permission given to sell hogs on
Saturday for less than the price fixed,
for the purpose OF clearing up the
yards. and further 1t lwas stated that
the hogs SO purchased by the packers
at the low price would not be figured
against the packers in arriving at their
average. Results OF the whole trans
action are that the farmer has lost at
every. turn. Had he been notified that
the embargo was to b put on he would
have kept his hogs at home and fed
them until he had a chance - get them
to market. Last week announcement
was made on Friday that there would
be no shipments Of hogs from here on
Saturday or Monday with the result
that the farmers are feeding their stun
at home and 1t will be properly cared
for in place Of being dumped Oh Ct
some country yard and half fed with
the chance OF getting to market at the
time when q special dispensation brings
the price down below the fixed market
minimum.
The above situation Is bad enough
but the other chapter to the storJ
makes II all the worse. On the day
when the hogs shipped from here were
