of cereal products. There was surely a large
increase in the growth Of wheat throughout Ihe
West and Of corn through Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, Iowa, and northern Ilinois, Indiana and
Ohio !; but the product of corn in the South Of
Ohio, Indiana, II inOis and Missouri, and in The
States of Kentucky and Tennessee, was not 60
great as usual. The deficiency of corn in this
section may account for the great falling of In
pork.
The total deficiency in pork for Is5o-'6I
amounts to about l22342 600, lbs., equivalent 70
6I2 ,7OS 900 less money received this year for
the single article of pork than was received last
year.
Besides this there is a corresponding falling
off in lard amounting to 4,26ss s4I9 lbs. eqUiya-
lent TO 81 ,25O, 900. Here we haze over seven
millions Of dollars deficiency in the hog tra6e1Of

This is confirmed by the receipts at N: Orleans
