About four thousand head of hogs
have been slaughter ed at the packing
houses inathis city, nearly all on account
of droyers. The packers have made
but. few contracts. The ruling price
offered is from Il to Sc gross The
weight-of hogs packed thus far is full
twenty per cent. above the average of
last year. We hear of no sales OF hog
product, the drovers generally going the
whole hog and holding stifly for an ad-
vance. Hogs sold from ten to eleven
and a half cents in October AMI NoVem-
Der, and the drovers who refused to con-
tract at that price, refuse to conceds the
decline. r~T F
An Illinois drover who contracted
largely in this county and Montgomery
at ten cents and advanced about Eve
dollars per head, TO secure the purchase,
is very sick Of pork, and has asked an
extension on delivery until January.
The hogs are fattening on cheap corn,
and the holders can postpone delivery to
advantage. n-fss a4rrr --~a-s--
