At Chicago there has been a perfect
rush Of hogs; whilst at the Interior
packing points of Illinois there has been
a pretty lively trade, though possibly not
up to hat of last year, or the one pre-
At Keokuk, as well as along
the upper Mississippi and in Iowa, the |
business has not come up to last year,
at last adviees it was being prose-
3uted with more or less regularity. In
this state packers, except those in st.
Louis, Alexandria and St. Joseph, do not
appear to be doing much as yet whilst
N the country, and among farmers,

that of several preceding years.
From almost every portion of the
pork region come continued as
,urances of the plentifulness of hogs.
and a material increase in their weight,
taken in connection with the
heavy Strengthening at the east, confirm
impressions as to a final cure
in excess OF hat of last year
and, as this impression is gaining gene
credence, it is manifesting itself in

ire decidedly more c~oneiliating than
hey were two weeks ago, and a COM
nendable inquiry on the part of packers

has led 10 less system, and TO a more
adoption of rough cure, with the
view of finishing 1t up to such trade as
nay subsequently arise, than We recol-
Iect to have noticed within the past ten
years,
Our advices from other places being
general, not specific, we do not claim to
give precise, but approximate estimates
Of the business being done, a. q mere in
i~icRtiOu Of the volume Of trade. Thus
explained, we report the Strengthening at
