me season has now arrived when we are accus-
omeu TO prepare Tor our years supply of Pork To
give our readers some nforma ton upon the probable
prospects OF what may be the quantity md prices in
this market we lay before them the following ex-
tract of letter from gentleman travelling in the
West, to his friend in this neighborhood There
nave been y, few droVes of hogs here already, for

i" The drought, from the county of Greenbrcr in
Virginia. to this place, has been excessive am
credlbly Informed they have had only one or two
Ugh showers since the first of July. The conse-
quence Is that have iound travelling extremely ex-
Pensive and mconvenent Watef is exceedingly
scarce and bad, as you will ut understand when
tell you that most of the large creeks and rivers
are entirely dried up, except and then deep

years. but am told there is good deal Of old corn

81 have. with view to advise my friends, made all
the enquiry could, along the road, as to the num-
Der OF hogs that will be driven Virginia this fall
out the wary Asntuckans are very costive upon the
subject and seem very unwilling to answer enquiries
which may affect their interests. | have however,
CLEANED enough out of them satisfy myself tina
there Is at present greater number of ogs Ken
lucky than have been here for many years The
profitable prices of the last year induced many Of
their traders to go into The States of Indiana and
Ohio to puchase hogs, which were driven over last
Spring, to be fattened here. These hogs, with what
they raise here, make the supply much LARGER
say, however, that owing to the scantiness of the
crop many of these hogs cannot be fattened in ad-
dion to which, they also say. that the high price of
grain upon the road will deter many persons from
driving and thus the supply to Virginia will be less
than that of the last year. 1 have no doubt howe
Yer, that there is old enough in the country
fatten the hogs, and is very unreasonable to sup
pose, that, with so scanty crop the present year
the dealers here will find to their interest to feed
their hogs year longer before they take them 10
market MY own opinion is that you will have
good supply But give you the data upon which
