"Guessing the winter course of the hog market is open to all;- One guess is as good as another," is the Way the editor of the Breeders Ga zette closes a discussion of the hog market future. Many persons Interested in cattle are of the same opinion in regard to beef prices for the winter, although there are some, who, after summing up the entire world situation, predict that now is a splendid time to buy feeders, and start them on the road for the spring market. They base this opinion on the hope, which is well founded, that the Ar gentine supply of meat, from which Great Britain is now purchasing, will be exhausted before spring. Assuming that this conclusion is cor rect, America will be turned to for the supply. Anyone who has exper ience in feeding cattle can see what the result must be. Optimism as to future prices, is further added to by the fact that many' big western feeders, where thousands of hiead of cattle have been made ready for the slaughter house, have virtually concluded that they feed conservatively during the coming winter. This would work to advantage of the southern farmer who ordinarily does not feed in quantity sufficient to have any great effect on the national suppply of fat animals. Balanced against this, however, are unsettled conditions thruout the world, a natural contraction of meat consumption duo to the almost com plete demobilization of the world ar mies, and a return to the normal meal instead of dominating meat diet as was the case with many armies. Speaking particularly of the hog market, the Gazette says: ' Interest In the probable winter course of the hog market is no lesss keen at this moment than a year ago, when the food administration in response to popular clamor, arbitrarily de termined the fall prices. Several factors will exert an influence, not the least of which will be the policy of the grower in cashing the crop. Last year a monthly apprenhension that the government minimum would be withdrawn was .undoubtedly re sponsible for the reckless sacrifice of thousands of young hogs that could have, been matured at a profit, in the light of subsequent events, This season, with trade on a normal basis, growers will have no incentive to feed out on the assurance that ' low prices will be recorded during the early part of the winter packing season. "Of special significance is a state ment made by Herbert Hoover before sailing from Europe last i week, when he said: "Wharves and warehouses in northern European ports are over flowing with foodstuffs, principally meats, fats and dairy products, sent by merchants all over the world." It is stated also that $20 pork was the result of the United States gov ernment buying enormous meats for the benefit of famished European countries. Judging from the state ment of Mr. Hoover, apparently these countries have been provided with normal amounts of foods, and that their demand for' other stock will not be so frenzied in the future. Without a native supply of meats, however, Europe faces a long winter which leads one to believe that the stores of which Mr. Hoover spoke would be used before spring. Train Victim Identified. HICKMAN, KY., Oct. 7. Inter ment was held this afternoon of the remains of Andrew Paige, the 18-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Paige, well-known family residing near Hickman, Paige being killed by a freight train a week ago, the fu neral being held here in town from the home of his aunt, Miss Matilda Frenz.
