We did not hear OF a sale to day.
The market must be called exceeding
ly quiet without particular change in

We understand that Mr.. James l..

There were a good many drovcrs in

We are glad to learn that sales will be
made In this region almost exclusively
for cash.
From the Lexington (Ky) Observer.
Business at this establishment 10

number were slaughtered. The prices
at four months time ranged from s., 25

There is a fair business doing in
hogs this winter at rather moderate
prices, Prices in Coshocton county,
fell within a few weeks from So % to

more abundant in Brooke county, Va,
than was supposed, and holders ask
81 80 to IS gross weight. In Wash

design killing and sailing their own
hogs. They cannot get offers above

are not disposed to accept.
From the Indianapolis Journal.
The pork trade has not yet fairly
opened at this point. For shipment to

on hogs already contracted for.
We understand that w. u |. Man

from which time they expect to be

We hear Of a good many feeders
who intend to pack thel own hogs,
and we think the amount of bacon put
up among farmers will be greater than
usual. But little is said concernig
