A Chicago provision circular saws
It is difficult to account for the sudden
change in the opinions of pork packers
and operators which has taken place
during the past week. Last week their
views were weak and vacillating, now
they are firm and self-assured. Contin-
Gus profits are regarded as certain, and
any possibility Of loss is at once mega
tived.
Previously It was held to be a matter
for vital consideration what should be
done with the surplus of a crop even
equal to last years, if the accustomed
quantity should not be required for Eng
land. New the question is easy Of solu-
ton, viz hat all Of it and far more will
be required to supply the home demand.
But facts are stubborn things. We
never have been able 10 consume the
crop Of the United States without foreign
aid, Yet the late excitement in the mar
ket has had the effect Of causing Cum
berlands and other cuts specially manu-
featured for England to be used for
consumption at home. There are 30
favorable advises from England, and the
usual shippers there from the east stand
by listless and Indifferent. Meantime
our packing at the west progresses stea@-
lily, although its sudden cessation has
been predicted for some time past. At
our v point the supplies not only head
the corresponding period last wear, but
for the past week are larger than the b5Si
week of last season.. The reports from
al other points represent the packing as
steadily increasing, yet a crop of $780,
600 is now regarded a. harmless. The
excitement, however, seems iniudicious.
The old law Of supply and demand
viii regulate the trade. At present de-
maud has the mastery but, from ap-
~pearanCes, supply will soon assert its
claim with sufficient effect to render the
trade, If rot Improbable, at least dull
and dragging.
The Boston Adrertiser has the follow
ing There is still great dizziness in
commercial circles, and much natural
anxiety In regard to financial affairs and
the future tendency of prices, which the
continued agitation of political questions
in congress rather tends to increase and
intensity. Merchants, as d rule, are
making no money, and the mercantile
interests OF the country are to a great
extent disorgauized and d~emOralized.
Importers find nc inducements TO with !
draw their goods from bond, msnufae-
turers complain hat their business nets
them a loss, and buyers and consumers
hold back in the expectation that a still
lower scale Of prices viii soon be reached. /
A similar condition of affairs prevails to
a great extent in Europe. The state Of
TT de in the manufacturing districts Of
England is stated 10 be unhealthy, the
current production yielding no profit, if
not actually resulting in loss. Trade is
also very dun IN continental Europe, the !
past year closing under great discourage
meut.
