The total number Of hogs reported s]augh-
tered this season to date at Cincinnati is 146 900.
The stock Of pork in New York is 7,746 brls
against G.070 year ago.
The following shows the way in which the
prospect IN provisions may be regarded from
packers standpoint. H. AHlward & Co. say:
The arrivals Of lire hogs this week have been the
largest our market has ever seen in corresponding
space Of time, stimulated, no doubt, by the high
prices current at the close of last week. The re-
sources Of the country have been plainly exhibited,
and there can be but little doubt in tho minds of the
packers that the farmers prepared and able to
swamp rs with hogs, should present prices be main~
timed The action Of the packers seems ne1pcab1e
MARKET as compared with I'll the competing packing
points. Cincinnati is buying her hogs at s375@4o0
Louis ate3.6o@380. Kansas City at s3.5o@3.7o. Even
far East indianapolis they purchasing
@sao and at Delphi, Ind, at s3.5o@a.75 while here
up prices to 80 gross. The farmers, as usual
get all the possible profit and our packers must rest
content to all tho orders sent to other markets. be-
cause they can afford to sell cheaper than We can.
Here the high prices paying for hogs both for
shipping and packing, must largely increase our re-
cepts, but there is no reason why packers should
dmpoyerish themselves to benefit the TURNER'S Tie
stock Of hogs i'll the country will be marketed some
time and it makes hut ht.lo difference to the trade
WHnfhGT ri car liz nto Vim,
has been pretty generally ascertained, and it is we'll
known that, without foreign assistance which can only
Bib1y use up our surplus packing. The crop can be
brought out and packed just well at $3.50 at $3.50
gross. Even the lowest figure will give the farmers
three times much for their as they can make
for it IN any other they viii furnish it to their
hogs with no niggard hand tits the height Of folly
IN the packers to risk mporerishing themselves for
the benefit Of the farmers.
The more general prospect is thus discussed
by hercheva d Son, Of ST. Louis, in 4 sentence
80 long that 1T might as veil be for life and
have done with it:'
As has been for some time foreshsdowed the largest
business has been in the extreme West and tho
former for spring and summer use, aud tho latter for
local suppy-whle in the interior there il less DOING
which will become apparent as the season draws
on unless the interior and central packers should hid
up above Western prices sufficiently to compensate
droEers for the additional cost Of more expensive do
livery, as do those Of the East, which is hardly to be
expected, as by the generally accepted .'sandard"

Corn was tame at Saturdays prices, with little
disposition apparent either to buy or to sell, as
what little interest vas exhibited in grain was
ccntered IN wheat. The receipts we're rather
light for the seastn, reducing the volume Of
current offerings; but BUYERS held off in antic-
patton of plenty bye-and-bye, as it is now gen
orally understood that the farmers think there
is little hope in holding off for better prices,
though they have to give lbs of corn in the ear
for one cent. Sellerthe month sold at 31@31Ac,
