BURLINGTON, Friday, p. NJ.


The weather during the week has been in
great variety. 1t commenced showing Tuesday
and continued more or less until last evening
Wednesday night it amounted to Quite storm.
To-day is it clear but cold. The ice is running
heavily in the river, with indications that we
will soon have bridge.
The Hog trade seems to be drawing to a close
the packing here will go but little over 10000
falling off III weight, per head as compared with
last year, about 20 pei cent. Wehope next week
to give the exact figures Most of the operators
are out of the market, and it is difficult to give
reliable quotations; but buyers could doubtless
be found for good hogs weighing 250 lbs gross at
81 So Dressed hogs take D wide range while
light weights are dull at from 81 90 to 81 20
Choice lots Of heavy would sell readily at from
S. GO to So IS.
AtOttumwa, we learn they havenot yet pack
ed $4,000, and are not likely to go over that for
the season. The average weight gross 2lt nett
ITO, about 50 lbs lighter than last year. Whole
number last year 45 900, average nett 1856. Buyers
were only Offering 81 90 to 81 % gross for medium

accept these figures,

Trade from the Illinois side is almost entirely
cut off. The bridges on the old Plank road are
in bad condition, aod not considered safe for
teams with heavy loads. We think our busi-
| ness men who are interested in this very inpor-
tant trade to cur city. Eoa!d serve their own in
terest bv making effort 10 have those bridges
repaired at once. With the road across the bot
tom IN good condition, profitable trade with
our Sucker neigbbors might be expected. 1t has
fallen OF largely, OF late. owing to the cause re-
ferreG TO- ard occasional detention st the river,
the Ferry boat frequently not being able to cross
| all the tears without considerable delay.
