A survey of the average price OF
corn and hogs for fifteen years has
been made by L. L. Winters OF HUI
burd. Warren & Chandler, Chicago.
II is II 2-3 Blu corn to 100 Tbs of hog
With hogs at $1,000 corn should be
worth around s1.751a, but even with
the possibility of some decline from
that level, and in view Of the urgent
European demand, he says there is no
immediate prospect of severe break,
and while hogs hold around a 5000
level he sees little reason for antici-
mating a break In corn very far below
the $3.50 level.
