from 90 OF the prominent interior packing
points, which yield the total of 1877 $40 hogs.
against 22s.71s in same period of 1875, and at
which the total packing of 1867 was 96o,o77. By
now deficiency of about 10000 head compared
with same time last year-but it would appear
from the remarks volunteered by our CORE
spondents, which we give to our readers. that
by the close of this month the packing may fully
equal the same time last year, as an active busi-
ness Is generally anticipated, following the de-
tention to the movement of hogs by the warm
weather and bad roads of November, and also
