CINCINNATI MARKET,
Nov. l 1851.

NOV. lo0ls
Flour.-The market, under increasing re.
ceipts and a prospect of liberal supplies the
remainder of the season, Lake navigation be.
ing now about closed, is gradually yielding and
the decline this week is 5al0c per bbl. The
stock is accommodating, but not as yet to any
great extent. The city trade have pretty fair
supplies aud they are disposed to reduce rather
than increase stocks. Prices for the week
range about 3 IOa3 II 1-2, and extra at 25.
Provisions-Sales of Bacon Sides at &c,
pkd. and Mess Pork at Is 90. The demand is
limited, but this is owing to the continued low
stage of the river.
Fruit-Green Apples continues to come
forward freely by canal and railroad, and there
being no shipping facilities, the stock is more
than adequate to the demand, and buyers are
disposed to hold off for farther decline. We
quote 50a3 90 per bbl including inferior and
prime; good sound winter and eating descrip-
tions commanding the latter rate. In Dried
there is very little doing, the stock being light
and consisting chiefly, if not entirely, Of old,
which may be quoted at | 25 per bushel for
Apples. and IS for Peaches.
Grain Wheat remains steady with sales OF
some 10 900 bushels at 60c for prime red; Med
iterraneRn SIC; Corn ranges from 80 to 35c
for lots, distillers not offering over the inside
rate. Oats 23a25c.
Hay.-The market is firm at l2 00al IA 90
per ton for loose. We notice sales of prime
Timothy in bales from river at ii 90.
Hides.-Green Beef sell at A PC, and the
transactions are at present confined almost
entirely to this description.
Hogs and Cattle.-In our remarks last week,
we noticed that there was less disposition 20
buy Hogs at current rates, while SOLDIERS were
more anxious to sell, and this has been the
prevalent feeling throughout the past week; /;
and this variance in the views Of buyers and
sellers has prevented contracts TO any extent,
and the only operation heard of was 1900 head,
deliverable from 10th to 3)th Of December, at
50. This price is now below the views of
sellers generally, while il is fully as high as the
views Of buyers Some few lots Of Hogs have
been cut, amounting TO about 1000 head. for
"early Bacon" but the regular business viii
not commence much before the middle Of No
vember. There is good demand for Beef Cat
tie and there have been sales during the week
of about 900 head, at from 4 90 10 4 80 per 100
lbs net for packing. Butchers continue TO pay
IS to 25 for fair and choice.
Bark.-There have been sales at 50 for fair
and 9 90 for prime Chestnut Oak, indicating a
farther decline.
Cooperage.-New Pork barrels bring 80 cts,
cut there is not much demand. We continue
to quote Whiskey barrels at 75c; Flour do D
to 33c; Lard kegs 35e. There is not much
demand for the latter, except at lower rates,
there being a far supply on hand.
Seed.--Flax remains at 81 per bushel. WITH
fair receipts. In Grass there is little or no.
thing doing. We quote Clover on arrival at
0Oa5 25; and Timothy so to ? so.

tinue on limited scale. There are several
clips in the West unsold, but they arc held at,
and in some cases, above New York prices.
