letter from New York received hero yesterday
stated that there hut one gru!n vessel In that
port Mt tt.c dale Of writing. The meaning was un-
doubiedly ''occan snlns" grain vessel. At this
rate The shipments can scatce'y present any I'm
rro.cmcnt IN volume on this sdo Of New Years
Day.
However, this IL partially Offset, At least so fat
this city Ia concerned, by tho tremendous out
ward movement u meats from Chicago. The re-
ported shtpmeRts for four days rnat aggregate
IL. 7e0, 600 ms. or 7S1 nrloads bo!ng nn average
Of nearly 200 carloads per day OF hog meat Alone
And ncar,y all this Is going Into tho nav Of
johnny Hull. One can scarcely help thinking that
stomach capacioua enough to absorb fesh at thta
rate could casily gobble up both the Russian bear
md the Mohammedau turkey II thuy should come

The mort singular feature Of the provision trade
10 the fact that this city Ia drawing several thou
sand hogs every day from puInta to tho eastward OF
Chicago. PLACES Mcar Cleveland, Detroit, and Gin.
cinnpt nto regularly scnd{ng t1ler hogs hors, be.
cause It pays them best 10 do 20. Tho reason IL
that the tmrncnse speculative demand for
product here has forced up prices, chiefly
On NOES pork, 10 a much htghor poInt
than other places, ard this warrants tho paying Of
better prices for the EaV material. Tho present
tendency OF ,hlngs 10, therefore, 10 pile up biz
stocks Of pork here to DO carried through tho vim
ter. ~ other places nte 5ust now supplying con-
sumera at lower figures. Yesterday Ch,cuso was
relatively b0c per bsl above Detroit and C!ncunat
and actually on loycl with New York.
