DEcENBER I6.
Although we have had, for the past week,
such weather as il was predicted would com
pei the farmers TO send in their hogs, the
thermometer ranged from 10 degrees be ow
zero to 10 above, the anticipated large in
crease has not been verified. This may,
possibly, be accounted for by the fact that
aiize the falling of in the condition Of their
hogs, but the advocates of short crop still
assert as strenuOusly as ever, the positive
scarcity through the country. Packers and
operators, however, had too painful expert
ence Of adopting short crop theories to care
to make investments on mere Opin ons, and
as there is a direct marginal loss between
the prices current tor hogs and the rates at
which the product can be sold 30 packers,
enter the market with very great hesitation.
During the last two or three days some of
the packers have taken hold TO a limited
extent, and several new houses are now
making their first experiment for the sea
son. shippers, however, press them hard |
u purchasing, and force them TO pay higher |
prices than they feel TO be safe, or remain |
die. Whether next week may bring US
more liberal receipts, and consequent /
ower prices, is a matter Of surmise. Still |
We Dc not wish 10 assert that the crop is posi- !
.;yely short. Our means for obtaining posi- |
i've information as 10 the resources OF the /
Instant hog raising districts are 50 limited /
hat we prefer 10 accept the theory thtt the |
abundant crop of corn and the excellent /
eediug weather We have had, have induced /
he farmers to keep back their stock, and /
hat the hogs ought to be. and proba BILE are,
q the country, though time may prove the /
ncorrectness Of the opinion.
The receipts of hogs for the past week
yum up as follows Dressed, 623; live, 49,
sc; total, p, 439, and the shipments for the /
anne period, dressed, 5S live, Is .O52; total, |
ollie, leaving 1899, for packing, local /
and number left over in the i
Dens. For the corresponding period in
s64 the receipts were, dressed, 20,2I2; live,
06 SOS; total, l27 ,077; and toe shipments,
lressed, 697; live, 1854; total, 9.2Sf: leav-
ng to packers, local consumption. &c, H.
90. This discrepancy is very great, but
be fact must be taken into consideration
hat this season is very late, and that last
vas not only very early, but that our pack
ng had been finished by the close of Jan
lary. There has been but very slight va
iation in the price of hogs during the
week, and the market closes firm, with but
ew hogs left unsold, at IS IS to S. 10 gross
or light 70 medium, and 50 90 to SO Is for
leayy weights. Dressed are taken for ship
