HIGH PORK PRICES
LIKELY TO remain
Advance Due to Scarcity of
Hogs-Butter Ignores Rise
; in Other Places.

Dealers say there is no sign of re-
lief from the prevailing high prices
of pork products. High prices, 1t is
stated, are due to the scarcity OF
hogs, especially small ones. and 1t Is
generally believed there will be no
decline in prices during the remain
der of the Winter season.
Small pork is in demand by deal
erS who, it is reported, have only
small quantities on hand. The mar
llet is not very active, however, ac'
cording to reports, more especially In
connection with heavy meats.
Price of live hogs went to the hlgn
mark of 14.7o yesterday. Slight ad-
vances in the butter market else
where were reported, but local deal
crs said the local market has not
been affected.
