For Reconstruction

For several days we have observed our
neighbors Grewar d Henderson, plumbers
and gas filters, No. 81 Church street, re-
ceiving large additions to their stock in all
its departments. Many Thousand feet of
stone pipe, of the best make, and the finest
and cheapest for sewers, drains and all light
pressures now known, and becoming more
popular every year. They have also added
largely to their stock of pumps, bathing
apparatus, water-closet fixtures, and every
thing in their line of business. They are
amply prepared for reconstruction-of the
kind which improves and delights, instead
of depressing and destroying.

The reports made to the Board of Alder
men last night by Revenue Collector Nell
son and Recorder Halle, showing receipts
and expenditures amounting to many thou
sands, exhibit a difference of nine cents,
which is explained by the fact that the Ad-
miral had received a counterfeit dime
The deficit thus occurring has been charged
to the latter, and he utters no complaint.
The necessity for appointing an Investiga-
ting Committee is thus obviated.

York, New Orleans, Chicago. st. Louis.
Louisville and Milwaukee, showing de- |
ticiency of 10000 bbls as compared with |
last year. We have since been advised |
from Cincinnati that their stock there, as |
near as can be arrived at is 81, 900 bbls. |
We have been endeavoring to obtain a |
statement OF the stocks at all the packing |
points In the country, and had hoped to
have been able to publish it with this, but
the returns have not been sufficiently
general to warrant our doing so. The
general tenor Of those we have received
would lead to the belief that the stocks of
all provision products through the country
are much lighter than at the corresponding
period last year, and that this is especially
the case as regards lard and mess pork, SO
much SO that we have but little hesitation
IN expressing the opinion that the stock of
the latter product, through the entire cour-
try, is from so, 600 to 100. 600 bbls short of
last year.
we also, IN the course of our inquiries
requested our correspondents to give us
their opinions as to the probable supply of
summer hogs, and the replies are almost
uniformly to the effect that it will be much
smaller than last year. With these facts
before us, we cannot but look forward to a
more favorable condition of the provision
trade than has been ruling for some
months. The stocks of provisions as fur
nished to the Pork Packers Association on
the 18th OF February were Mess pork SO,
9I5; mess ordinary 1888; prime mess 4,
l76; extra prime 2,914; rumps 1, 495; clear

BOG bbls; OF lard s, 400 ties; of hams 6,67'
ties; OF shoulders 2,944, 900 lbs, of middle
8, l69, 100 lbs. By a resolution of the Porl
Packers Association, the stock is to b
taken on the first of every month till June
but we expect the next showing will prov
the correctness of the last.
