The indications r.ow are that the packing here
will exceed the above estimate, and We would
not be surprised if it should reach 100000
Owing TO the high prices prevailing here and
the premium of SO to Coo per head, paid by
slaughterers, Cincinnati will get more than its
proportion of the crop This is evident from
the enormous receipts of the past week, which
are equal to one half the number received at
Louisville for the whole season. The receipts
fo., the corresponding week last year were A.
400. During the subsequent week 2S,3l3 were
received. For the corresponding week this
wear, the indications are, the receipts will ex-
coed $4,000. So far IS regards the aggregate
packing at Louisville and Cincinnati, the short
crop theory may be said to have exploded
Taking these points together there will be an
increase, and the conclusion that there will be
NO serious deficiency in the West, is beginning
to be forced upon dealers.
The heavy supplies OF the past week are main.
ly attributable to an anxiety on the part Of
feeders to take advantage of the high prices
current Most of the hogs were light. Prices
have declined fully soc from the highest point,
aud The market this afternoon closed dull and

Although holders did not generally press their
stocks upon the market, there were more sellers
than BUYERS. large proportion Of .be hogs
now coming forward, having been bought when
the Imitation was greatest, cost drovers more
than they can realize, and rather than foot up
the loss now, many are packing in hope Of
doing better with the products. Heavy hogs
