THE PORK TRADE.
Interesting Statistics Compiled by the
Superintendent Of the Cincinnati
Chamber Of Commerce.

CINCINNATI, December 2l.-The SUI
perintendent of the Chamber OF Com
merce, Sidney ID. Maxwell, who has
been gathering the pOrk-packing statls-
tics for the Chamber, submitted pre-
liminary report to-day, from which 1t
appears that one hundred towns and
cities in the West, exclusive of Cincin-
natl, Chicago, st. Louis and Louisville,
had packed, up to various dates, rang
ing from December 9Th 10 the present
time, five hundred and eighty-nine
thousand hogs. The estimates for the
remainder of the season, made by pack
ers in these places, aggregated one mill
ion two hundred and ninety-six thou
sand head, making the whole number
for these places, which embrace nearly
all the principal packing points of the
West, exclusive of the four cities named,
one million eight hundred and eighty
five thousand head.
This would make an increase over
last year for the whole season in these
places of two hundred and ninety-five
thousand, or eighteen and fifty-six hun
dredths per cent. The remainder Ofthe
West, not including the four cities
named, packed last year six hundred
and thirty-one thousand. If the increase
in these places unheard from should be
in the same ratio, and a like increase
take place in Cincinnati, Chicago, st.
Louis and Louisville, il would make the
whole increase in the four cities four
hundred and seyenty-five thousand and
in the remainder of the West four hum
dred and twelve thousand. This would
make an aggregate increase in the whole
West of eight hundred and eighty-seven
thousand, and would make the aggre-
gate packing of the West for the season,
five millions, six hundred and seventy
thousand. The report states, however,
that the number to be packed in the
four large cities named will be controlled
by contingencies that might change this
estimate as to these cities. st. Louis
already claiming that she will pack five
hundred and seventy-five thousand,
which would be an increase over last
year of thirty-seven per cent. OF eighty
four cities and towns that report on the
matter of weights, fifty-three report
hogs heavier than last year, while
twenty report them about the same, and
eleven report them lighter. With refer
ence to lard, of seventy-five places forty
report the yield from leaf and trimmings
heavier, while twenty-six report about
the SAME, and thirteen report the yield
lighter.

that we more than make up for any loss
sustained by them, or our advertising

quantity Of matter found in our Monday
