The disparity in the actual movement has not been 8o great as the packing returns in- dicate, as the castern movement has been considerably in excess of a year ago. The total packing from March 1 is 3,450,000 hogs against 8,600,000 o year ago, decrease 150,000, While there has sduction in the numver of hogs western packers it 1s also cv that there has been this season some enl; ment in the distributin of fresh product The corn crop has maintained its favorale position and promises the past week, Oats have suffered quite considerably in the west from the effect of storms which prostrated the grain, occasioning a lighter yield, but the outiook still justitivs expectations’ of the largest production on record. The general average position of spring wheat appears to have slightly deteriorated. Of winter wheat there is no ground for enlarging calculations for this portion of the crop as compared with the expectations a month or six weeks ago. il s THE MYSTERY CLEARED.
