THE Pork CRop.-We are Leo to believe.
from inquiries made during Il recent trip
through several Of the western counties,
that there is Il material falling off in the
amount of pork of the present season as
compared with that Of The last. Such also
appears to be the opinion of the best in.
formed dealers among Us. The accounts
from other States, however, represent the
amount as equal to former years, if not lar.
ger.
The packing establishments here, three
in number, are prepared to commence op.
erations at the earliest day, and have made
arrangements for large business. Burning.
ton is perhaps the best pork market in the
State, and the facilities of our packers. are
equal to those of any city in the Union.
