PoRK-Our paragraph of last week, intimatng
that hog owners had better not hurry sales, has eli
cited considerable attention; and few inquiries
for our reasons. In stating them we are compelled
TO be very brief paper is ready for the press.
First. again say, do not hurry the sales. An
usual large number Of hogs has been driven to mar
ket and the lceather unavorable for slaugh
tering till within two days. On this point oil agree.
The Louisville Courier of the 9th says that there
then in the pens in and around that city, 10000
hogs ready for the knife. The ConnerssiIle Valley
says that the warm wet weather had suspended ope-
rations. The Madison Banner Of Tuesday, says the
arrivals Of hogs at North Madison up to Saturday
night last nine thousand eight hundred and six
ty-two. OF which, four thousand six hundred and
eighty-one arrived by the Madison and indianapolis
Railroad, and FIVE thousand hundred and eighty
one were driven through on foot" And such is the
account from every quarter. This fact lessons the
present price, The stock Of pork in the market east
is not great usual at this Of the year.
This We gather from such authority as we deem
trustworthy, and from spectators interested in
making a different statement. The stock of hogs
generally is not large ordinary; and this
gather from reliable sources,-farmers themselves in
all quarters. The money market east is unusually
easy from ordinary business transactions, not to

nearly four millions of which has been received at
the U. S. Mint independent Of that received pri
vate account. All business is looking up. and in
healthy state The wheat crop is Short and the price
of corn consequently increased, while the latter 10
not abundant.
Then we have the opinion of old pork dealers, who

to market-you can hold them for 80 days, and our
word for il, say they the price must and will advance
We might enlarge more, had we space; but we will
endeavor to keep readers advised of all transac-

and also take this occasion to say in reply to a
note from one of our friends that in business matters

and business another; and if get better and ear.
lier information from whig than democratic paper
we shall do so. and give the proper credit.
The ruling price at Cincinnati, on the 18th, fol-
hogs of 200 lbs to $50 lbs and upwards, was 80 sc
to S2.75. At Madison, s2.5O. The price here, az
near we can learn, is about $500. There is 9
large number hand here, and it will be some day.
before we may expect much Of change for the bet
ter. The facilities for packing in this city is sur
passed BY none other; but packers don't seem tc
