revived very materially under its infu-
ence. Cotton shippers were busy getting
their purchases to and from the presses,
marking and shipping, and tTansporta-
lion was at a premium.
We have no softening Of prices to note
on any one article Of merchsndise-on
the contrary, prices still tend upward on
all things. Mess Pork has advanced soc
per bbl, and even at present figures can.
not be duplicated.
10 regard to the pork packing In the
West this season, the Cincinnati Prices
Current says:
On o3r last we stated that enough had
been known to justify US in saying that
the number of hogs packed in the West,
the pressent season, will fall short Of the
packing last season about 800 600 hogs /;
and in nc case ear it be far enough from
this point TO change the result essential
~. It seems to US that the weight will
not differ much from that of last season,
and we think, from the information we
have, that there will be very little offer
ence in the yield Of lard II any, 1t will
be against this season ; that is, the yield
viii be less. The great delay in collect
ing the statistics Of pork packing is not
in getting the number OF hogs packed,
but in a~scertsining the yield Of lard, and
the average weight, and without these
the statistics would be incomplete. Pork
packing in this city has been virtually
closed for two weeks, yet We have not
yet been able to get the returns from
over one half the houses. Two are still
packing, and macy of them have not
weighed their lard. We hope, however,
to be able to give the report for this city
n'our next issue.
