SIR Al this time there have passed this
place, 45,42l live hogs for markct-say
they are worth 81 each, which in my o.
pnon Is a moderate calculation, amounts
to S3l7,947. 5,145 horses and mules, at
an average of $50 each, makes S435,600.
Only csc stall fed steers, rs yet, say worth
$40, makes S9,4l0. Two or three thou
sand hogs, hear, are on the road 10 be
added To the above list which when arri-
we'd, you shall have the correct amount al
the years end.
