The crop Of 1865, was unusually large, but was
much injured by the heavy and constant rains
during harvest. The trade during the past year
has been remarkably heavy and The crop Of 1856
exhibits thus far considerable falling off in guam
tity, as compared with that Of the previous year,
but it is generally admitted that the quality is
superior, owing 70 more favorable weather for
harvesting. The following table shows the ruling
price, per ton for prime Ohio river at the close Of
every month daring 1855 and to 1866. gt

STOCK OF HOG PRODUCTS MTHBwEsF, SUNE 81, 1866.
/ We have enieavored to obtain n abatement ~
hog products in the West on the seth uIt, but our
4 efforts have been only partly successful. The adj
vices from Cincinnati are conflicting and unaatis-
| factory; yet sufficient is known TO justify the
| statement that the stock is much smaller than at
| this date last season the weekly returns Of ship
4 ments for the past few months show that the de-
mand this season is largely in excess of last year
Il and if we take into account the number of hogs
packed last season, and the receipts of products
Il for the past seven months, and deduct shipments
for same time, it will be seen that the stock must
necessarily be small, az the old stock was nearly
or quite all gone before the commencement Of the
packing season, except some 10000 barrels Of
pork cd
AS near as can be aseertained, the stock in Chi
cago on the LIST inst. was about 500 600 fbs. cut
/, meats of all kinds, including stock In hands OF
smokers, exclusive of summer cut, and II 900 to-
1000 bbls pork, very large portion Of which ID
i mess.
/ We estimate the stock OF barrel pork in the
country, including the stock in New York and i'm
the hands of jobbers at $50 600 bbIs., against 26
900 bbs. same date last season. The stock of cut
meats in the West is estimated at II 900 900 Bs.,
against 27, 100000 lbs. came date last season and
"a, 447 500 lbs. August l, 1864 Reducing the en-
tire stock of barrel pork and cut meats to pounds,
1--we estimate the supply in the West at this date at
900 900 lbs. against 3d. 600 lbs, the same date
4 last season, showing deficit of 2S,l00,000 lbs.
from same date last season. There may be some
lerrors in our statement, but they are not of Buf
cient magnitude to change the general result.
il But, making the most liberal estimates for
of provisions at this date Is light beyond all pre-
Ecedent and with the ordinary consumption the
] lsnpply must be exhausted long before the com-
mencement of another packing season. The adj
voeates of lower prices insist that the present high
d rates atwhichcut meatsand Barrel PORK rule must
restrict consumption; hence much smallersupplys
than usual will be required, Under ordinary CIR
s cnmstances, such reasoning would hold good, but
z a comparison of values at the present time must
convince any one that every article that can posi-
i bly, be used as suhstituts is relatively higher

y But with all things in favor Of healthy trade
for provisions during the remainder Of the season.
81 we would not advise holders to look for any ma
" terial advance on present prices. As @rule, the
s. stocks are in the hands Of those who bought at
50 prices much below present figures and the IutuFe
as well as the present good of the trade requires
- that the consumers demand should be freely met
