The Daily Commercial Bulletin publishes re-
turns from 4l0 points relative to the prospects
for summer coss, and says:
"At = glance, the majority Of the reports indi-
cate light run OF hcgB during the summer; Jet,
closer examination shows that there are quite

good for an average crop-thouGh not up to the
movement OF last season. The movement Of hogs
WAS very largo during last summer, under the in
fuence OF tue same causcs which now induce the
liberal movement OF stock hogs to market.
Under the influence Of the advance in the p17ces
of hogs and the consequent advance in product,
count has slnckened up considerably, and mer-
chants have only purchased to supply their i'm
mediate wants.

against 81 ,242 402 lbs bacon aud 50. 282, 268 Lbs
lard ono year previously. The hog crop Of
Germany was considerably larger the past year,
and the German ports exhibit the greatest de-
crease. On the other hand, ne are indebted to
the English trade for the increase in the move
mcnt OF lard and bacon-due in d measure to the
falling of in the hog crop Of Ireland. The ex-
ports from all the United States ports from the
opening Of the packing season to Feb. II. 1874,
shows falling of in the shipments Of lard Of
18,250, coo pounds, or about $1,000 tierces.
while there is on increase in the shipments Of
meats Of 9,e27, 900 lbs, or equal to about 1920
boxes.

ness Sufficient ice has teeo secured at nearly

ago in regard to the lce-crop have been re-
moved"

The gradual accumulation of money, which
has been the most notable feature OF the local
market for the last month, continues. The
banks, however, have been obliged to hold back
from looming 80 freely on pork and grain, e1-
ceps with larger margins, because tho apecula-
tion in almost everything is pliDg up load
that threatens to break down prices. There is,
however, plenty Of money to loan on satistac-
tory collateral at 10, and even per cent in
some cases, for thirty or sixty days, and at 8
per cent on demand.

A Baltimore Protest against Munici-

BALTIMORE, April 21.-There passes
through the business center OF this city q
narrow, sluggish stream of water known
as Jones Falls, that has been more writ
ten and talked OF within the last six years
than any other subject of local history,
and has proved in the attempts at its inn
provement an Augean stable to the Oity
Fathers. During the summer OF 1868, it
oveIfoWed its banks and flooded con-
tiguous squares for several streets on each
side, in many places to the depth of ten
feet, occasioning the death of two personss
