tons. The Baltimore Gazette of the

The packing season proper closes on
the LIST of March, and, as has hereto
fore been stated, the present indica-
tons are that the packing in the West
will exceed that of last year by about
300, 900 head of Hogs, but it is believed
that the export demand will consume
the entire surplus, leaving to be mar
keted IN the country stock no larger
than that of last year, and, assuming
these estimates to be correct, the trade
is evidently in a very satisfactory con-
dition.
