PoRk TRADE IN ClvcINsAr-We find the following in
the last number of the Cincinnati Gazette Il will be
that the trade in Hogs has very materially fallen Off within
the past five years The number Of Hogs packed during
each of those years is as follows
1s47-'48. 900 1s5o-5l By 00e
1881 1000 1S5l-52 352 900
1S49'50. 1893 600
1t is that the number packed for three past
has not varied materially though, as well known there
great falling off in the whole number packed in the
West in 1872
As railroads extended the value Of lands is in
and whenever the latter in this way brought
to market Hogs have been found to be not generally
the most profitable product Consequently the business
raising Hogs extending westward and increasing there
much rapidly than the population of those sections
Of country In the directions railways being
tended and it is to the latter that must look
extent and in few years to still greater extent
for considerable portion of the supplies for this market
That large number Of Hogs will be transported to the
East we do not doubt but we are satisfied that notwit
standing the railway facilities the number that be
forwarded will be little than sufficient to supply the
current consumptive demand. 1t must be remembered
that railways cannot transport unlimited number of
Hogs The NewYoIk and Erie Railroad which is relied
upon to supply the NewYork packers has during the
been employed to the utmost extent of its
dons and yet the number of Hogs transported has been
than equal to the demands Of the citizens Of New
York for fresh Pork and decidedly OF opinion that
the road will not be able to carry very many
in the Winter than they have delivered during the Sum-
| mer.
But surprising and admitting that the immense droves
Hogs which pass through streets could be trans
ferred to the railway and carried through to New
York without delay the experience of those who have
knowledge of the business satisfies that Western
packed meat be shipped to NeYork and sold for less
than the first cost of that packed there In cold weather
considerable portion of Hogs shipped from the West
would perish during their and assured that
nothing be done to prevent this Here, then would
be heavy loss to encounter in the outset In addition
to this the Hogs would lose great deal in weight
told that those taken to NewYok by railroad produce
little gut fat. Here is another heavy loss Then
again. the of doing business in Network is
| nearly double what it is here
Shreveport October 23-Cottoni s coming in rapidly, and
meeting with ready sale at full prices During the past
week it recovered slight falling off which was ind
Gated in quotations of last Saturday The papers
the 18th show slight decline, rather languor in the
Cotton market though there is advance upon pre-
| vous figures.
