outside support is given TO speculation how
long this will exist is uncertain, but Wall street will
not resume its woGted activity until Mr.. McCulloch's
scheme is more clearly defined.

seems to prevail that the packing has virtu

price of corn in the interior and the large crop will
induce many farmers TO feed their hogs until late in
the season. The advance in prices of both live and
dressed hogs will undoubtedly desire to real
ize the part of those who have been holding back
and il the supply is still large may reasonably ex
pect that the receipts will increase toward the close

further all legitimate business enterprises; but show
