/ Pork Packing Season.
It has been our custom at the
topening of tho pork packing sea-
son to review the conditions which
influence the market, and to give
to the public an impartial and as
u
nearly as possible q just opinion
4 Of what course the market will
take. About one year ago we said,
in view of the increased number oil
hogs prodused that 81 90 to 4 SO
q gross for hogs in the country would
aalow the farmer reasonable
compensation Tor his trouble in
;. raising them, and enable him to
realize more for his corn than in
any other way, while on that basic
packers could take hold with con-
adence that they would lose nc
money. At that time many of oul
country friends thought we wer,
wrong, and backed up their opin
: ion by Investing in hogs at muct
higher prices, to their ultimate
> grief and pecuniary loss; but tn
outcome Of the season has justified
our Judgment, aAd it is REMARKABLE
that:.not until prices of the cdre'
+ product came down to the relativ
: value based upon hogs at abou
IS 90, gross, did the consumptiv
i demand set in large enough to ex
4 haust the stock at the end of til
L season. We commence the ne,
+ season with stock of lard anil bull
!: meats in the West virtually CT
p hausted. There is 8 moderat
: amount of bacon and mess por
still on hand. but not enough
materially affect prices Of ne
= meats, while at the seaboard the,
is little surplus of anything exec
mess pork. The number Of hof
- in the country is admitted. on 9
hands, to be much larger than la
= year, but it is generally elaine
that they are not as heavy, an
y while all admit the increase
'e number. many contend that Il
amount in pounds will not be NM
g. il any, in excess of the past seaso
4. When ever we have surplus of al
of our productions over what
1ig required for home consumptio
ne the value Of the whole crop Is d
ne term1ned by what rates the surpl
ia will be taken by foreign marke
therefore the condition of the b
- crop in Eng land and ireland has
direct bearing upon values in Il
-, country, coming as it does Il
year into direct competition wi
u. .;G4
ge The reports from those cour
:. ries indicate a. proportionate i
crease in the number of hogs ev
act larger than in our own. So
ith may calculate upoo an increas
40. supply from oil sources. The gu
ton then arises: Will there be
'm corresponding increase in the 4
y's mand2 It is q we'll known law

No extreme low estimates which hs
