By WILLIAM R. SANBORN Ih order to present a concise picture of last whet hu happened to the

price of hog daring December, a few

comparative figures will be necessary

Going back to Monday Dec. 2, we

find that the high at Chicago on that date was $14.60. By Monday, Dec. 9, the top had fallen to $13.60, showing a loss of $1.10 per 100 pounds for the week. This was bad enough, surely, from the standpoint of farmer and shipper but worse was to follow on

Tuesday's market, when both light and heavy butchers halted at $12.75 for top. with bulk of sales going at

$12.15 to $12.55. The general average for the day at $12.35, was the lowest since February. 1917. and ranged $1.70

fcelow the average for the same day of the previous week, and $5.70 lower

than on the same date in 1918.

This sufficiently illustrates what occurred in all other markets, the drop Jn all cases approximating that at Chicago, although some markets did

siot follow the extreme figures set at' Chicago, all were in close sympathy vs to range. Tuesday was the low day of the week at all markets. : Monday's receipts were very heavy, and in many cases there were leftovers in the pens from Saturday. Counting In 8,000 left unsold on Saturday at Chicago, there were 135,000 hogs on sale on Monday and Tuesday, which -was cause enough for a bad break, in view of the condition of the miners' strike and the cold weattr in the .Northwest. A Rally in Prices All markets, east and west, steadied on Wednesday and held firm the rest of the week, making slight advances daily, the net at Indianapolis being a full dollar on choice heavies, and 11.20

n choice lights from Tuesday's low tn tho hle-h on lust fia.tnrria.V- whan

the tops of the day were $13.75 fori heavies and $13.85 for best light hogs, j These prices were considerably better than the "general average top" in the 12 principal markets, which was $100 -while the top of the day at Chicago 'was nearly a half dollar lower than at the Hoosier center, at $13.45 for prime light hogs. Owing to large receipts at .Indianapolis on Saturday that market did not advance with those of the west but held the Friday gains without fchading of prices. The receipts at Indianapolis on Saturday were 500 in excess of those at Chicago, at 9,500 head. ' In spite of the break in hogs at Chicago last Monday good native cattle ruled strong and 25 cents higher, and one load of extra good ones sold at $21.50 to go to Boston, a new high record. The load averaged 1,640 pounds. As against this record of from $20.25 to $21.50 on Monday a week ago, note the decline to $19.75 and $20.25 on last Saturday, in that market, these figures contrasting with $17 and $18 for choice and prime steers at Indianapolis at the week end, for killers weighing from 1.100 pounds up. A bunch of good lambs sold at $16 at Indianapolis on Saturday, the top in ' weeks. This was a shade lower than Ihe week's average for good lambs at Chicago, and $1 under the top in that market for the week, where range lambs brought $17 and better, and fancy calves $17.50 on Saturday.

ruled steadier and were better main

tained than at any packing center. In

addition to the various loads handled in transit hogs were brought in from

widely separated points In this territory, it being apparent that' the local

field is broadening and that farmers are trucking in from greater distances than formerly.

Charles Bostick topped the market

on Saturday with 84 porkers which weighed 17.230 pounds, and netted him

$2,153. Harry Henley, of New Garden, marketed 79 hogs which brought him $1,988 at 12c. S. H. Kem, of Webster, received a check for $2,225 for a

bunch of 75 spring pigs that averad 240 pounds, and Bruce Herbert cashed

in $957 on 35 head of Boston township

product.

Included in the week's receipts were 34 veals, 25 lambs, 20 head of cattle and 581 hogs. "Following the big slump

on Monday and Tuesday," said Rome Shurley, "hogs regained a part of the loss; good hogs bringing 12 Uo on

Friday and Saturday, with rough stock

ranging at from 8c to 10c. Good cattle.
