As the principal portion of trading in the
provision trade is confined to pork, hams,

made of the production of these articles in
the aggregate for the two seasons, allowing
prOpOrtiOnate reduction in weight, as the
returns of the two seasons indicate, as fol-
lows.

There is another item to be taken into
consideration in regard to the production,
and this is the shrinkage while curing for
market. Last year the hogs were in good
condition, and the weather was cold and
meats absorbed salt slowly. This year the
hogs were lighter, and the weather milder,
consequently meats cured rapidly, and the
lean portion, which suStains the greater
portion of the shrinKage. tended TO reduce
the average weight. In conversation with
some of our leading packers, they are in
clined to the belief that 3 per cent would
cover the shrinkage during the process Of
curing last season. while per cent may be
considered fair allowance for shrinkage
this season. On this basis, the result Ofthe
seasons work, as compared with last year,
compares as follows:
1s72-53-Green meats, fbs.917 ,422, 254
Shrnkage, per cent?. 2 81, G6l-So9, 500, 5I3
