Hog Packing.
We take the following from the circular of
The great house of Eggleston, Henness 1 Co.,
Of Chicago, under date of March 5th:
With the present circular we proposed to |
our weekly issue until opening |
Of the next season. We had hoped to COM
prise in it the final sum of hogs, average
weight, and yield Of lard of the total Western
packing. All but few houses at this point
have closed with end Of the regular season,
out it may take several weeks yet before the
official statement of the Chicago packing will
be compiled, and we, therefore, shall continue
our weekly review until such time when the
complete statistics Of the packing of the West
are obtainable.
There has perhaps been no season in which
he estimates rs to the total result have varied
more widely than this the more because the
decrease in the average weight, which the
packing during the first half of this season
gave approximations of. has during the last
wo months been diminished beyond general
expectations. The packing at interior points
having commenced nearly three weeks earlier
md closed about that much sooner than at
h larger cities, the latter naturally made up
hat deficiency by the improving average
weight. In this market the average weight
early in the season to fall short
$50 lbs Of last years, turns out to be within
lbs short Of same, while the number Of hogs
acked from Nov l, 1874, to March l, 1870,
,as Isl, us more.
The Cincinnati packing is about Q lbs below
lst seasons average weight, the number of
ogs packed, 81. OS9 less. ST. Louis packed
g. 9l7, against 463, 7G3 last season, the COM
arative average weight is yet to be ascertain )

VS. slight increase over last seasons, but c
he comparative average weight will probably :
OF quite equal it. The yield of lard, in conse-
uence of its relatively higher market value L
lroughout the season stimulating the produc-
on, will, as far as We can judge, fully equal
st seasons percentage.
The conviction that the aggregate Western u
ackirg will prove larger than generally ex- =
acted, and the impression that the stocks Of :

'ual because they. packed when prlces OF :
ogs were highest and the product has, since !
