CORN DAMAGE
MAY CURBP PIGS

The prospect is that the new
supply Of pigs available to meet
requirements next year will be
sharply curtailed in view of the
damage done by the drought to
this years corn crop, according
to the Alexander Hamilton In
stitute.
The present outlook is that
the 1886 corn crop will amount
to only one billion four hundred
thirty-nine million bushels, or
slightly less than the short crop
of 1884. This means that the new
pig output is likely to be about
equal to the small supply Of 1885.
The pig crop this Fall will thus
total about 100000 head in
stead of the 100000 head
which the farmers we're planning
to raise. The pig crop will con-
sequently be between 100000
and 100000 head smaller than
last Falls crop.
The pig crop next Spring will
total about 100000 head as
against 1888, UUO raised laSC
Spring. The total supply avail
able for 1887 will therefore
amount to approximately 49,000,-
900 head as compared with 64,-
$4,000 head available this year
and with 84,483, 900 head in 1888
before droughtS ard the Govern
ment's restriction program be-
came factors in the situation, the
Institute says, adding:
"The usual seasonal trend Is
for some recession in hog prices
during the latter part Of the
year. However, in view Of the
prospective curtailment Of the
supply, there is not likely to be
much seasonal price weakness
this year. At the beginning of
next year, hog prices are likely
to show a sharp advance.
Should general deflatiOn set in,
this advance would be m0di-
fled. On the other hand, If
the initiation movement should
be extended, the price rise
would be accelerated"

NEW YORK, July is Q.N.SJ.
The stock market quoted down
later today, as profit taking was
attracted by the upward thrust
into new high ground for the
year.
Gains, which had run to more
than 2 points, were reduced
somewhat and in a few cases
small losses were substituted.
Volume, too, fell off appreciably
after a first hour, during which
CSC, 900 shares changed hands.
Traders appeared undecided as
to the ultimate effect of the in
creased reserve requirements on
the market, although the Reserve
Boards action seemingly was
bullishly interpreted in view of
initial advances in stock prices.

afforded traders an opportunity to take
a calmer view OF the situation, thereby.
lessening the possibility of a serious re-
action in cotton goods prices.

NEW RECORD FOR. SEEING AMERICA
Over Nine Million People Visited National Parks
 During Past Year

Travelling America set an all-time record for visiting its national parks and monuments during the year ending September, 19SS, with a 70 per cent increase over 1895, the department of the interior an- nounces.
 One-fourteenth of the total popu- lation of the United States, or B. 9,432 persons, visited the 134 na- tional parks and monuments, a gain of more than four million over lo35, and an increase of approxl- mately six million over the depres- sion year 1881, when only 3,6le,- 900 persons visited the areas. New highs were set also for the number of persons visiting the parks in pri- vate cars. Registrations shows @ total for 1036 of 1,772,33 as against last years total of 1,217064.
 Eastern Parks Most Popular
 Of special interest to the section of the United States east of the Mississippi is the fact that the parks of this region were the most popular on the travel list. The highest total was scored by the newly established Shenandoah Na- tional park, Virginia, dedicated on July 3 of the current year, which was visited by 694,o98 persons. Great Smoky Mountains National park on the border of North Caro- lima and Tennessee, came second with 602,222 visitors.
