SELLING FIGS
CONDITIONS IN ENGLAND. “It is a bad time to be disposing of >’gs. but sometimes we have to sell, ven though we know it is a mistake.” wrote Mr. Theo. A. Stephens, in the Farmer and Stockbreeder of July 4. when commenting on urgent English conditions. “I have just had to sell pigs owing to shortage of accommodation and lack of money. It would. I think, have paid me better to run them on, for the demand at the moment is conspicuous by its absence. Fortunately, I was able to find private buyers and get a much better price than I should have done in the market, but even so it is imposs ble to get their value. A good many people think that Ottawa and the Irish situation. together with the possibility of an early report by the Pig Reorganisation Committee, may mean a rise in price for pork and bacon pigs in the autumn. lam not so optimistic; but, on the other hand, I fail to see how there can be a loss in feeding pigs if stores are bought at to-day's prices.”
