WON'T FORCE DOWN PORK
Farmers Will Hold Hogs for Fattening
If Corn Price Drops.

Chicago, Oct. 29.-The possibility
that lower corn prices will result in
any marked decline in the retail price
of pork was declared negligible by
officials of the United States bureau
of markets here today.
If corn drops to a dollar or less as
some grain men predict 1t will, the
farmer will hold his hogs for fatten-
ing, using the corn for this purpose.
This will result in cutting down hog
shipments and consequent stronger
tone in the market, bureau employees
said.
Toward spring the hogs held for
fattening will probably be ready for
shipment. in large numbers and a
considerable decline may then be
looked for az the result of a flooded
