derstood that the comparative quality OF the hogs
Is good. The extremely cold weather has nndoubt-
eddy stimulated the movement to market. 10 pre-.
vent loss from feeding higll-priced feed without
cnmpensatlDe gain in weights.
In Cincinnati, the deficiency In packing, as CON-
pared with corresponding date last year, Is belrg
steadily reduced, and 1t Is believed by many that
although the number Of hogs packed to date 05,-
600 les than TO corresponding date last year, and
10000 below the total OF last season, the final re-
suit will show failing Oft OF not more than 10000
| In number, and q probable gain in average OF
weights. In Chicago, the packing during the past
| two weeks shows slight Increase over same time
! The number of hogs packed to date at Chicago
lacks 345 900 Of the total of last season. while the
number packed last season subsequent to date cor
responding to this was 81 0000. TO reach last sea.
