The Cincinnati rle Current publishes al vices from sunmer packing points which in dicate a scarcity and prospective dearness of ice, which will probably exercise an influence on packing interests. Packers will either have to bear the prices of hogs or advance the prices of product. The result will depend upon the regular supplies of hogs offering.
