week in Strengthening; the roads are in
wretched condition for driving, and
the weather has been severely cold.
Some of 8 our packers we e at.
work, however, e yesterday, with
promise of a brisk business for the rest
ofthe season. The market assumes alittle
more frmness, but can hardly be quoted
at more than So 70 net, as far as sales have
been made. Farmers and packers are
coming more nearly together, in their
views, and 1t is expected that there will
not be so much tronble in making con-
tracts. The amount packed thus far has
been very light. Nj

market, and quotations are nominal at
$1,000. Green Meats are held at 9@l215c
