Big Price for Hogs.
A recent dispatch from Chicago says: J. H. Bielenberg of Toronto, Clinton county, Iowa, came to the Chicago stock yards with two loads of fancy heavy hogs just in time to credit the old year with the highest price of hogs in nearly a decade. His lot of 107 extra prime 342 pounders sold to a city butcher at the rate of $7 a hundred weight, the highest price paid for a full load of hogs since June, 1883.
