Pork Pnckingtn Chicago

We extract the following from the circu-
lar of Henry Milward & Co, dated Satur-
day:
The unsatisfactory condition of the pack
ing business increases instead of diminish
ing. Packers rush into the vortex with a
carelessness characterized by imprudence.
if not by absolute insanity. They NAV
possibly be possessed Of information hidden
from the rest of the community: for on any
other theory their actions are inexplicable.
The price Of hogs now ranges over So Il
100 TBS gross higher than at the correspond
ing period last year, and within a fraction
of the highest rate paid during the season.
Past experience has proved to us that at
the latter prices the losses were most Sc
we're. The receipts Of hogs do not fall off
as much as was anticipated. Reliable re-
ports from the country have led us to ex-
poet that in December the receipts of hogs
would fall off largely, but be renewed in
January and February. The advance in
the price of hogs occurred so early in the
season that farmers had ample time to COM
mence preparing a second crop for market,
and the low prices current for their cereals
would naturally incline them to such q
course. In the month Of January, last
year, the receipts of live were 1875, 95I; or
an average Of 81, 73S per week. and of
dressed l,Gt7, or an average of y, 1872 per
week. In February, live 1866, or an
average Of l., Sal per week; and dressed
SO, ISL, or an average of S,3+5 per week.
The probabilities are that the receipts in
January and February this year Will be
much larger than the above, as the reports
from the country say feeding is actively
progressing. The receipts of hogs last year
increased gradually from the first Of March,
until during the month Of June they ranged
from 50 900 to so, 600 per week The whole
number received from the 1st March to the
lst October were $40, 9G7 head We fully
expect that the receipts this year through
the summer will be much heavier than
last, as the most intelligent drOvers report
they have never known so many young
hogs through the country as there are at
present, and farmers never had so great an
inducement to feed them. Several parties
are at the present time estimating the pro-
bable extent of the packing but estimates
lust now are all ''mOonshine. To prove
how very reliable they must be, the esti-
mates of two authorities differ nearly 300
600 head. We have no desire to risk our
reputation on any premises. Packing will
be continued as long as hogs can be found,
and the probability is that before the season
closes packers will be much more tired
of paving for than the farmers of furnishing
them.

The Principal Granaries of the
World.


The London Times comments at length
upon the recent increase in the importation
of breadstuffs by the United Kingdom from
the United States The extent to which
this importation can be kept up in compe-
tition with Russia and Central Europe,
when that section shall have been fully de-
veloped by the completion of railways now
in progress or contemplated, is esteemed
by this writer as the engrossing question of
the day. He says:
The great questions for the United States
to consider in this connection are the re-
duction of freights and other charges, and
the enlargement of communication with
the Mississippi Any one who will take the
trouble to look at the map of Russia will
find tract of country extending north
ward, on the west side, to latitude > i deg,
and on the east side to 81 deg; southwark,
on the west side, to AZ deg, and on the
east to "a deg north latitude, containing
234, 600. 900 acres of the best wheat land in
the world. The soil is very rich, containing
all the elements requisite for cereals; is
deep. and apparently iuexhaustible, and
has the advantage of being covered with
snow from November to the latter part of
April, thus protecting the tender plants
from the icy winds of winter, which sweep
almost increasingly over these plains.
Russia has yet another and very important
advantage cheap labor. The laborers, we
have seen it stated, wear skins for clothes
and wooden shoes, and work for the mere
