exceeded tue expectations Of our dealers ssa.
evidence Of this, we learn today thai within iii.
Last week or two some twenty-five thousand enp
t. pork barrels lave been brought 1,v r;,jl from
C1LcinEati aud Louisville. This il rendering
packers ihercaway uneasy, for it proves to them
mere co''csivcy than anything else that their
''swinisl1 honors'' are departing. The pspess Of
Cincinnati for some days past. hare been engaged
in studied effort to prove that their city was still
tic Porkopolis Of America The figures of the
seasons business will tell the story and or sister
down on the Ohio may as well prepare to yield the
palm gracefully. VIC need not dwell here upon
the importance OF the wonderful increase Of this
tfade 10 the monetary and especially to the general
commercial interests OF Chicago.
Hfhc banks have ample means to do all the legisi
innate business Of the city AL business paper
made By really responsible parties, is readily
taken By the banks at 10 per cent. The market is
comfortable: but. Of course, paper to pass must
be Of undoubtcd character.
New York Exchange is plenty at former rates,
viz: par buying; selling \ Of . cent. premium.
The pork trade seems to keep the market fully
supplied.
The demand for gold Is by no means active The
buying price is 2K@sEc; selling, &c premium.
