There have been no new features developed

but corroboration of previous reports OF hght
supplies of old stock in all OF the regions east OF
the Mississippi river is received almost daily
West of that line, and especially in Kansas and
ebraska the supply is reported better, but II IS
not probable that they will be marketed, until
the new crop of com can be utilized 10 iatten
them and the indications are that the receipts OF
hogs at the packing points will continue light
during this month, and perhaps during the
whole month of October.
"The recent heavy decline in the price OF old
corn to point which in many sections OF the
west makes IL profitable TO fatten SWINE may
probably stimulate the preparation OF stock for
marketing in the early winter packing season.
where the farmers have such stock as can be
forced TO early maturity, but this is not general

felt in this feature Of the situation that acutted
buyers In taking the enormous amount OF future
options which have been sold in Chicago during
the past ten days OF two weeks, and this has
prevented a much larger decline In prices than
has taken place"
The current packing operations are reduced

5,2il, 67s lbs, or about 10 per cent as compared
with 1850. This, at SO lbs TO the hide, would
would give a shortage Of nearly 10000 hides in
the Chicago market alone. The Shoe and
Leather Review, Of this city, from. which the
above statistics are taken, discusses the situation
in the following manner; As Chicago is the cen.
trail market for domestic hides. the tame causes
would operate at all other markets, and IL is,
therefore, safe TO estimate general shortage Of
10 per cent. In the domestic hide supply 1t will
also be noticed that there is marked increase in
the shiDments over last year, the gain being
some SOO1, 600 lbs over last year, and the excess
OF shipments over the receipts being about
13 600 lbs. This excess is accounted for, first
BY the large accumulation Of hides In Chicago in
January last in consequence Of the heavy re-
ceipts during the closing months OF 1851, when
the dry weather and short grain and fodder
crops caused an unusually large killing Of cat
tie; second, by the fact that the Chicago tanners
have worked in less hides than last year and
third, by the increase In the killing Of cattle
in the city over last year, The eastern tanners
were also obliged 10 look for domestic hides 10
make up One deficiency i'm che imports Of foreign
stock. The decrease in the imports at New
York for the past eight months Is given AZ ga,
s35 hides a. compared with last year, and S703fs
as compared with the first eight months Of 1880.
These figures prove one thing conclusively, and
that IL that there viii be a shortage Of leather,
and this too in the face Of an extraordinary in
crease I'm the demand for home consumption
and for the export trade The tanners, there
fore. hold on % their leather until they can get
satisfactory prices. In regard 20 the hide mar
ket for the next few months. Il II safe 20 say
that the business prosperity VIII bring an IN
creased consumption Of meat no matter what i
costs This vii insure a good. fair supply Of
hides though the receipts are not likely % be a.
large as last year. there IA no danger Of tan
neries being obliged 20 close up for rant q
hides and on the other hand there IL not much
ground for the belief that there wiz be any ma
terial decline In prices.
