0g Packing at Several Points In
the West.


the West.
st. JOSEPH, NO.
We hear good deal said about The opening
OF the packing season, but know Of no engage
msnts from which the opening prices for pork
can be guessed at. The season will probably
not opsD ss early as usual though 1t is expec-
ted that the business viii be larger IN amount
than what was done last season. IL V e&pec-
ted that the market will open in 81. LOUIS al
from A. to S5 net, and We notice the same is
said OF other western markets - The West, 4tl.
sIRIxoFIEtp, ILL.
The packing season has not yet opened in
Suriuefsld Operations will begin as soon as
tie weather becomes cool enough. We heard
Of the following contracts for early delivery on
Yesterday 500 head to average 2l5 pounds, at
a. net, delivered; 200 head at S3, 1894 net, di'
vidine on 200 lbs In relation to the number
of hogs for the market, the general opinion is
that il win equal last years crop. The hogs in
this region win mostly be late, and not much
will be done IN the packing line before the first
Of December.-JOwRat
cARLINvLLE, ILL.
We have saken some pans to learn with
something like correctness the number Of hogs
that will be fattened and sent to market from
this county, during the packing season. The
result of our inquiries leads us to the opinion
that there will be falling OF Of one third, or
something more, from the usual number.-Den-
ocrdt.
vINcENNEs, sSD.
The farmers who have the best means OF as
certaining, say that the beg crop in this county
the present season W i'll not be over an average.
Some Of them say there will be no more than
last year. 1t is thought that the price will
range from $5, to So, so per hundred net.-Ga-
zette.
KEoKrK, IOWA.
Our Keokuk packers have made extensive
preparations for slaughtering and packing this
seuson. They have the capacity for killing
about 5000 head per day. The firms engaged
are Patterson & Timberman, McCrea & Co.,
Cleghorn Batty & Co., and Goodman & Co..
They have already put out a large amount o.
money, and we learn that the hog crop of this
ysar will fully equal that of last year in lbs
DPffces are ranging at present from S4,25 to
$3.50 per hundred. The corn crop in the Des
Moines Valley was never better than this sea
son, and pork out to be good and abundant
The money that is already going out for pork
will find its way back here soon, and will give

..r ALTON, ILL.
Packing prospects were not much advanced
last week. The weather was cool at the open
ing, but turned warm before the middle, and
continued to the end.
q Nothing was done at either of the houses in
Hogs. Or Beeves, about IS head were put up
Smiths, and 35 head at Walker & Greenwood's
nome at Wade's. More would have been kill
ed had the weather been favorable.
Cattle will be slaughtered at all the estab-
lishments this week--donbtful if there is a sin
gle Hog packed. The crop moves slowly. Not
more than 900 head passed off last week by
shipment. Formers begin to be anxious to get
at the opening figures. They will try to get
$5, but must take less No contracts are yet
made.-C0urier.
..~ ST. LOUIS.
St. Louis packers are now offering for heavy
hogs, for early delivery $5@6,5O net, or Tor
such as net 200 lbs or upwards. We notice tho
sale Of 1000 head, now in pens, at $5.
A merchant from Central Illinois says that
the Hog crop there will he light-that the stock
will be young, small and fat, but not heavy
The price of Hogs was so high, and the oorn
crop SO small the past two years, that the coun-
try was cleared OF Hogs, and it is difficult this
year for feeders to obtain sufficient Stock Hogs
Yet we think the probabilities are that more
pounds OF pork will be packod at the various
points this year than last; there is corn in abun'
Dance and this will bring the Hogs. Tho sta
tistics Of Ohio and Indiana show less number
of Hogs suitable for fatting, but Kentucky
shows over 100000 more than last year; and il
is probable greater number will be found in
Missouri and Illnos.-Democrat 1lM inst,
- NASHVILLE, ky.
We have heard of number Of sales OF hogs
at prices near 81 per hundred, gross, and buy
ers seem settled on that as the outside limit.
CHICAGO, I'LL.
The change in the weather to-day has caused
good demand by packers for Hogs, both live
and dressed. The receips however, were 81
light that but few made any effort to test th'
market. Live hogs. averaging 200 to $50 lbs.
were sold at $4@4,3o gross. Dressed Hog
were mostly sold to retailers.
There were several lots of cut meats. com
prising about 5000 pcs. sold to-day for the Bal
