With one exception this is the largest number
ever packed IN this city before. No doubt now
that the packing will reach half million this
season, and II may exceed il, a. the scarcity of
coopsrage in Illinois and Iowa and consequent
considerable number to this market from. thence.

pack three quarters OF million, should they be
brought here.

Quite an active demand arose for -four about
the middle OF the week to fill Government con
tracts, and the supply being light and the receipts
small, owing to the extreme high rate, and also
