The foregoing letters contain the most important
intelligence have received from Cincinnati this sea-
SON. The competitions for hogs at these high prices
is certainly surprising; and observe that the more
cautious dealers arc holding off; many OF them will
not pack, or salt al all this season, frightened by the
high prices. learn from another source that gen
tleman, formerly of this city, now in Indiana, has
sailed 10000 lbs. of Bacon, al prices averaging
81 Is. but paid mostly in goods; but from the re-
moteness OF the place from the Ohio, they will cost
equivalent to 50 % in Cincinnati. Other intcl-
gencc have from Northern Ohio states that they
are done sailing thcre-hogs cost s. 25 in cash,
and s. 80 in goods. Letters have seen from Rich
mond Indiana. say the hogs there are in prime or
der, Welding onc-third more Lard than last year.
Price 81 IS , per 100 lbs. The hogs offered III
this city arc generally taken at So 30 62!i.
great deal Of Lard Bulk Pork, Seeds, SC, are now
coming up the river intended fer the East. Wagons
were loaded to-day at 81 to Philadelphia, and soc.
per 100 lbs. to Baltimore; but they fucuate from
81 TO l6l to Philadelphia, and so Z 5 to Balti-
more.
There is rothins OF any special importance in our
market. These being the Holidays, business is
quite dull. There appears to be more animation III
Seeds than any thing else, caused by the rise IN the
East Clover is quick at 81 37l 80. Flaxseed,

The contest going forward Tor the Mayoralty is OF
Il very peculiar kind-quite mixed up. The two
Political Parties will nominate candidates; but the
diversion in favor of Citizens candidate, II II
does not elect one will infallbly be the means OF
electing Loco Mayor. However, the result will
be no criterion of the strength parties.
