of contracting for hogs: and especially has
this been the case during the last two or

being paid was $6.l2 per cwt net for Novcm-
ter delivery, Holders NOW, and for some
times past have been asking 36 25a S6.5 80 for

disposition which might be manifested to
speculate, with reference TO the high prices
and scarcity of Mess Pork and Lard.

sunk is amazing. FIVE 60 on in this way
