PoRE PACHING.-The pork packing bust

ness, announces that the season Is
about over for the reason that the supply
OF hogs Is nearly exhausted, and also that
the extremely high prices make further
operations In this direction rather.unsafe.
This firm has thus far killed about 800
more hogs this season THANH did last.
The prices have ranged from Ito 4 cents
a pound. The hogs were obtained from Ohio
and Pennsylvania In about equal quaint.
tics, and from the adjoining counties 10
ours in this State. In regard 10 the pros
poets for good prices for provisions, one
packer said that the indications were very
good at present, but as to their stability
little could be predicted. Grain took a
tumble recently and with II hogs, but
then an upward tendency succeeded this
and the prices have been rather satisfac'
tory since. Ono or two other pork pack.
ers talked in a similar strain, and one oi
them said that he was not done packing
yet, nor would he be as long as supply
Of hogs could be obtained, although they
were getting very scarce.
II Is estimated that from IL, 900 TO q, ,00C
have been or will be killed In this city
this season.
