Increased Apprehension of Injury Reported from Four States. Cincinnati, Ohio, Feb. 28.—'The Price Current summarizes the crop situation for the past week as follows: “A trying period for the wheat crop is now inaugurated. Enlarging areas report more apprehension of injury from freezing and thawing in Kansas and Missouri and somewhat in Illinois and Indiana, The average condition has evidently lowered. There is almost uniform reference to low wheat supplies and that they are held for better prices. The week's packing of hogs amounted to 370,000, against 300,000 for the corresponding week last year. The indicated total for four months is 7,100,000, against 4,885,000 during a like period in 1894.”
