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.

Victoria, B. C.— Oct 27.— Driven by
a high wind, fire tonight threatens the
entire business section of the city.
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.
The entire force of the local militia
and the garrison from Esquimalt has
been brought to the city and the sold
iers are assisting the firemen in fight
ing the flames and the police in keep
ing the crowds in order.
A t 1:30 a. m. all hoi>e of saving the

The greater portion of the block bound

wiped out. The loss, it is now esti
mated, will approach $2,000,000.
