It is only a bit of local pride that suggests the idea that
here should the records be kept and the statistics compiled. If there is
not sufficient enterprize here to capture the business, there is no
ground for complaint. We should not have alluded to the matter,
probably, but for the fact that the Cincinnati Price Current, with its
hog-packing statistics, for the season of 1883 has just brought it to
notice. Here the figures are compared with those of last year:
Cities. 1883-84. 1882-83.
Chicago, packed 1,405,000 1,500,000
Kansas City 254,059 233,336
Cincinnati 301,000 300,000
St. Louis 200,000 207,000
Indianapolis 181,700 183,000
Milwaukee 185,000 197,000
