This is equal to a net decrease in the crop of 34 per cent., and makes the 
crop, as regards the packing in the west, equal to 2,408,741 hogs of last season’s 
average, not including the falling off in the shipments to the east during the 
packing season, which would further materially reduce the,crop.
