Irish Pigs Frozen Out

DUBLIN. Oct. 1.-THE condition
OF the Irish pig trade Is described
as the worst for thirty years. The
Irish pig Is being driven from the
British markets, mainly owing to
the competition Of the Danes. Be
fore the World War Ireland had
976,000 pigs while Denmark had
100000. Now, Mr.. Mackenzie, q
member Of the Dali. estimates Den.
mark has 100000 pigs and the
Tish figures have declined.
He also attributes the Irish de.
cline to the high cost Of feeding
stuffs, to the partial failure of last
years potato crop, and to more
or less widespread Discrimination to
breed pigs.
