PORK.

POkk.
Three weeks ago, the community was alarm
ed at the .ncn high price Of pork, and the pros.
meet q its being higher still. We are glad to
cate that since that time il has declined, and 10
quoted now at So. and it is probable will decline
farther. Asa general rule, pork is high in Viz
GINA when corn is scarce, because then the dro-
vers are compelled to advance prices, in order to
defray the unusual price of corn the road. But
this rule is liable TO modification, when hogs are
extremely abundant in the States west Of US. and
corn equally SO. Such il the fact this year, and
we are satisfied that if driven pork is high, i'm.
ported bacon from Louisville and Cincinnati will
be reasonably cheap next year; so that we advise
buyers either not to buy pork at all, at excessive
rates, or il they are compelled to buy, to limit
their purchases 10 supplies for the winter and
spring.
