Circular of Henry MttOard St Co.f
October 13.—It is! futile to ®n-
"V venture any predictions as to tlie

JfiK fullest information we have it in
JLtr to furnish them. It may be all
however, to offer a few opinions »•
^present prospect of the coming season!
::/jfier circumstances may completely
Jja them. The season just closing
•".fi disastrous to many, profitable to
cjj. Amoag the former class were not

seir products at an early date, buj,

able prospects to make shipments tb

i!ee i) one of continued disaster ; and us
Idol bacon in England is still heavy,
iibe stock of home-led hogs is said tp
-j : uallv large, it is fair to infer that un-
' considerably reduced prices, the pacld-
; n,e Eoglisb market will be very
si. Last year, the product of abdift
00 hogs were packed for the English
!?;. and this, with an increase of 500,000
civer the supply of last year, will have
vpvnil for consumption on this country,
•every reduced rates Bhould encourage
Ration. The accounts from the Sooth

’ from that quarter a healthy or
;Mt demand under piesent circum-
Ve have never entered on a season when
lew engagements for hogs have been made
the packers. The corn crop will be all
a\UMe for bog feeding, and as the farmers
, j n jeneral prosperous, it is probable that
v will feed late rather than submit to an
..v decline. But for packers low prices we
iisneusable, and unless they can get to rates
uLrlthew chance of profit the bosiness
j be hazardous in the extreme. We hope
>, next spriog, to congratulate them
iivurablu Investments. The low prices
glut hams and lard this year will ne-
iie increased caution. Beef packing
too progressing lor some time, and thus
libont 4,700 head have been packed. The
aiity. however, has been such as is suita -
i to the American market. But little
He will probably be packed till spring.
