Chicago— In the face of a steady de cline in the price of hogs and the corn on which they are fed, Chicagoans who desired to eat bacon discovered that they were compelled to pay the highest price ever obtained for the salt meats in times of peace— 35 cents a pound sliced. I f the housewife was willing to cut it up herself she might have this fig ure reduced to three pounds for $1, but that was the best she could do. It was up, and to all appearances would stay at this record smashing figure for some months. For a number of mysterous reasons that still are unexplained, the forces that usually result in hammering the price o f bacon down seemed to have an opposite effect upon the food. The packers insisted that they could not get enough hogs to supply the de mand; that they were losing money because the porkers were not being re ceived at the stockyardB.j However, the market report showed that the demand for live hogs was weak and that they were left Btanding in the pens daily. It showed b I bo that the prices are now much lower for the live hog than six months and a year ago, when no retailer would have con sidered asking 35 cents for a pound of bacon. The average price paid for hogs at the stockyards was $8.49 per hundred, as against an average of slightly more than $10 six months ago. Market re ports for a year ago show that from 10 to 25 cents per 100 pounds more was paid for porkers than is being paid by the packers now. Corn, the pork producing cereal, also has been falling consistently but with out any effect on the price of the fin ished product. Current Events oí Interest Gathered From the World at Large.

Several prominent buildings in the heart of the city have already been destroyed and many others, it is feared, will go. The Five Sisters block, one o f the largest office buildings in the city, standing on the corner of Fort and Government streets, was completely wiped out. The telephone service has been given up, the poles which lead out of the central office, across the road from the burning section, having been burned down. Several yachts in the harbor are burning, the huge sparks which blew over into the harbor igniting them.
