From the Cincinnati Price Currents report OF
October 20
Hogs have been marketed more freely the
mast week, and considering the lack of old corr
for maturing them on, they have generally APP
peared TO be well conditioned for the season,
There is still, however, complaint OF sickness
from various sections, but we are not OF The opin'
ion that there is on unusual degree of this any,
where. Prices of hogs have largely declined
and the provision market has been almost pan
icky at times, closing unsettled at considerable
reduciiou compared with q week ago.
THE receipts of hogs at Chicago the, pas
week have slightly exceeded 100000, and fall
only 5000 under the corresponding period las
year, while the shipments have been as much
smaller, so that the supply for packers shows 8
number fully equal TO last year. The total pack
ing at all points for the week has been abou'

"When.we take up the statements from official
sources which have shown from year to year the
amount of American hog products that has
found a market abroad, we learn that during .
period of ten years, ending with october ii
1881, the average annual export has been 90 pc
cent. of the production of the western packing
houses-about SO per cent of the lard produced
and AZ per cent. of the meats, finding such an
outlet. We need go no further than these facts
to illustrate the importance of the foreign de
mand in maintaining this industry in our country
which in late years has grown to proportions
of very great magnitude, egaglng tne
capital and sagacious attention of the
view the course %ofevents of the past season, ano
discover that the foreign exports have faller
AS, 600, 900 pounds below the preceding year
1s8t-Sl, and sos, 600, 00 pounds below loi9-SO, OF
a falling off of 40 per cent. and 46 per cent. re
spectively. we have the emphatic suggestion
that the question of price of such food material
is an important factor in determining the eXten'
of this foreign demand The export records
show that of the vast amount OF hog products
sent aboroad for a market the United Kingdom
has received consid erably over SO per cent, And
it is well known in the trade that the portof Liv'
erpool receives the bulk, or nearly all of this
large quantity of hog product sent to the United
Kingdom"
