NEW YORK, April IL, 1852.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD.
DEAR SIR-In your paper Of the 18th instant
you published a letter purporting to have
been written by very responsible house
at Cincinnati, expressing the belief that
there had been more hogs cut throughout
the West this year, than has been generally sup
posed; and without going into any details, or show
ing any statistics as to number cut, he endeavors
to show that there is no deficiency, from the fact
that he has discovered some errors, made by the
Cincinnati price current on the three great western
rivers, where the largest proportion Of the hogs
have been packed, which l apprehend will not
alarm holders, deter those from buying that wish
to do so.
Below, I hand you statistics as to the number Of
hogs packed throughout the whole West, as near
correct as probably can be made. The Wabash, II.
linois and Mississippi rivers, taken by myself
and most of the balance by the editor of the Price
Current, which will show (and is not doubted by
many very large falling off in numbers packed in
1852 from ISL
