Saturday, May 7, 1887. 
Tiif. estimates of the Cincinnati Price Cur¬ 
rent indicate that the winter hog-packing of 
tiie whole West was slightly larger than that 
of a year previously, but that, the summer 
packing will show a decrease of some 10 per 
cent. The work of the eight months, ending 
with next October, promises to reach a total 
of about 5,000,000 hogs, against 5,044,000 for 
the corresponding time in 1881). 
There are reports of corners in Juno wheat 
in St. Louis, Chicago aud this city. Withiu 
the last week prices have gone up three cents 
a bushel on speculative manipulation, and 
there has been a grant deal of activity in all 
tiie leading domestic markets. 
The total visible wheat (“official”) is about 
47,000,000 hut it may bo diminished this week 
by 1,500,000 to 8,000,000 bushels, There is less 
invisible wheat than usual, and Atlantic 
coast States must draw largely from the 
Northwestern States for 12 weeks (to August 
1st next) if, ns is likely, there is to be a late 
winter wheat harvest. This would mean a 
month’s extra consumption to come out of 
present reserves, over 80,000,000 bushels. 
Stocks of No. 2 Red in store at New York 
(aside from what shippers have in hand, with 
freight engaged) are not over 500,000 bushels, 
out of which, with some accretions from fresh 
receipts, short sellers of May and June wheat 
will have to make deliveries. 
Winter wheat is not promising, and tho 
Government report is expected to show a de¬ 
cline in condition from April of about 10 
points. Exports of wheat and flour together 
from July ), 1888, to May 1, 1887, equal 130,- 
000,000 bushels. 
With the new clip just at hand, and many 
of the woolen factories working ou short time 
from lack of orders, w*ool is dull and w*eak at 
t he East, aud prices are iu buyers’ favor. Iu 
the country, however, a strong feeling is 
shown. Western buyers seem confident that 
the market will warrant as high prices for the 
clip at first hands as were paid Inst year. 
Eastern dealers do not share their anticipa¬ 
tions. Hales in Texas, to date, have ranged 
from IS cents tu 21 cents per pound. But lit¬ 
tle lias been done iu California, where, not¬ 
withstanding the advance iu freight rates, 
values are well sustained. In Kentucky ami 
Georgia buyers are, iu some instances, paying 
more than last spring. 
At London the colonial wool market has 
been quiet since the close of the lost series of 
auctions. In English domestic wools a fair 
amount of business is doing. Little interest 
was manifested iu lust week’s sales at Ant¬ 
werp and prices declined. 
On all strictly'choice to fancy qualities of 
butter firmer prices have been reached with 
very little difficulty, the. demand, wholly from 
home trade sources, keeping up well with the 
current arrivals. Other classes of stock have 
beeu in moderate demand, aud, as not offered 
with unusual freedom, easily' held to steadi¬ 
ness. Elgin creameries (fancy) closed on 
Thursday at. 25 cents; best Pennsylvania 
creameries at 25 cents, and prime to fancy 
Western at 22 to 24 cents: best State dairy, 
half tubs, at 23 to 24; Welsh tubs, fair to tine, 
at 19 to 83 cents, aud the best Western imita¬
