Reviewing the dry goods trade, the
New York Commercial Bulletin says:
During the I.tst week the lull which Is
common 20 l le season has enabled inn
pOrters and j. lberS to turn their atten-
tIon 10 the il prOvements Of facilities
for the busine,., of the new year, reno
waiting their 81 res, and in some ln-
stances arraHgn z at their new locations.
Although impOrfatiOnS, a. = rule, are
entering the market somewhat earlier
than usual, and in some quarters spring
goods, particularly dress fabrics and
staple husMN have already been to
some extern under the inspection Of
bUyeTs, and not a few invoices Of staple
and favOrite lines have been largely
sold to arrive, still ii cannot be said that,
IS rule, demands have been common
Liberal but careful purchases have been
made by department buyers in the
foreign markets, and staples are already
in operation. If not actually pre-
pared, for the early selection of buyers
who are visiting or about 10 enter the
market and give their definite orders.
Although fine goods of most kinds have
had fairly steady run throughout the
season, notably velyetS, pushes, pOpu-
lar silks, mixed effects, black and plain
CenterCd shawlS, caShmeres and tlne
French cotton hose, still in the absence
of large -reaSsOrting demands foreign
goods wtfe slow of sale during the late
fall and winter weeks. However, good
grades have not gone begging, aud as,
after a satisfactory distribution of Suu-
dry Lines, the surplus stock has found a
fair market in the auction rooms, it
does not appear that any amount of
goods will burden the trade during the
days when the demand will be renewed
for such impOrtatiOnS.
The Cincinnati Price Current has
made its usual mid-wimter investiga-
tions concerning hog packing in the
west 10 Gate, since Nov. |. The final
returns for the season ending March /,
1SS2, or last winters operations, showed
a total Of ,, NJ ,OOO hogs, as compared
with lis estimate of $40, 900 published
on January ), lSS2-the closing figures
thus confirming the general accuracy of |
the preliminary report. The returns
now received for the present season re-
present interior points which packed
I74 per cent. of the number of hogs
Killed outside Of the seven principal
cites, and including the latter these re- !
tun's represent 9b4 per cent. OF last !
years packing, so that the information
Is sufficiently full to afford a reliable in |
dicati)n as TO the preScn, prospect for
the St asCn.
Tht Price Current says: In order
that the reader may understand the |
significance ofeXhibits in a comparative
way, We will say that last years total |
of 5,T4T, ,OGO hogs packed In the West
was the smallest winter packing since
1S16-'7T, when the total was 5,-
10l 900, followed by 8,5O5.OOO in ISL
Us, 7,iSO,OOO in lS7S-'7y, 6,g5O.OOn i'm
1872 81, and 6,9l9,O i'm lSSO-'Sl. The
largest summer season packing WAS i'm
1850, when 5<323, 900 i'm lSS2. The mrs.
, Cnt winter season began with Eght
stocks Of product i'm the country the |
aggregate being equivalent TO the pro-
duct OfabOut +DO,O hogs less than a
year before. The foreign exports of
product since November lst have bean
15S,OCO,OOO pounds, against lS3,OOO 200
year ago, or falling off of SO,OuDDll
pounds, or the product of about l7O,OG1
hogs. II l. fair TO say, however. i'm
this connection, that stocks abroad are
small, and that the indications are that
the LIST OF March will show little or no
deficiency in the exports COMPARED with
n year ago. The winter supply of hog
product now seems likely to closely am
proach that Of last winter. Our returns
indicate that the total packing IN dete
in the West since Nov. l is ahOut I LS0
000, against !, 222O, ,0OOa wear a~n or q
decrease thls season of 10000, but little
over I per cent. The estimates for the
season at interior points, or all points
exclusive or the seven principal cities,
Indicate about 100000 hogs less than
last winter, when the total was l,62S.-
5S2. The estimates for the season at
the seven large cities fall about 3DO0O
under last years utigurpS. The argre.
gate packing for the winter, accorlinr
to the present outlook, promises IN
reach about 5,6l7,0OO hogs, agsinsr last
years total Of 5,7i7,OOO.
