MARKETS.

BURLINGTON, FRIDAY, Bpm.
The weather during the past week has been
pleasant-rather too mild to be desirable for
Pork operations-the Strengthening houses are
all now in full blast, and with plenty of hogs
NAV look for an active business until the close
of the season. The packing will doubtless be
over at least three weeks earlier than usual
The business heretofore done in December will
be accomplished this year in November.
The number killed to date is not far from
y co., as follows:
Schenck & Denise. OO0
Robinson
In addition to the old houses in the trade, Mr..
Kicker has fitted up packing house in Col. Da-
vids building, on Water ST., and besides buying
hogs on foot, does quite business in country
dressed hogs. His establishment is a model for
neatness Since our last report the market has
still further advanced, with sales yesterday
within the following range of prices:
Hogs weighing gross 20 to 24o..".....sS 50

boat the Gen. seigel will continue in the trade
to near by points for the remainder of the season
| The arrivals at Chicago by Lake are numerous
and much to the surprise of everybody, freights
are lower than they were fortnight ago, which

| ing forward is less than usual.
