[To the Editor of Tax: Pos'rJ Sag-«In THE CANADIAN Posr or the 10th Inst. there appeared a communication from Mr. John Campbell in which he says, “We were told by a pork packer a few months ago that he was willing to contract for a large number of hogs, so as to realize to the farmer some $7 per 100 lbs. dressed weight.” I expect that I am the packer referred to, although the statement in so :rceiy correct as to time, as he said “a few months ago.” The letter referred to waewritten on thelst at June, 1890, and '13 it I said “I would contract now for a .gqmtity, say 10,000 or 20,000 hogs, at Almaty, soy 10,000 or 20, 000 hogs, at those prices,” (85 per one hundred live weight. or $5.? per one hundred dressed.) The pzicc was right, but I omitted to say when they were to be delivered. I should have said to bedeiivered in June, July, Anna: and September as those are our nun-met packing months, and it was for delivery in those months that -I was ofl'er- in“ to contract. not for a moment thinking flint anyone would construe my ofler as being made for on unlimited period of It I had specs I could give you the senses that hogs are so much higher in pleein summer than in winter, showing also that the farmers would study their own interests by fattening and selling their legs in summer. 31'.pr asks “What has become of the pork pecker's promises!" When .I made that offer I was both willing and ehle to carry it out, but as no one came Mudtomtitl wssforcedto buyln armed lots sll'over the wonky. _st even Mr. Campbell lays, “an0 they put their heads togethernnd fixed the price?
