The Hog Crop of 1850.

To hs Editors q TAs Triburss
In your paper of the 18th, notice an article on
the product of the "Hog Crop" which l should
Judge bore the aspect Of having been furnished by
"lOoker on" who had Unexpectedly, while look
ing on, discovered that Pork had advanced far be-
yond the prices at which he had made "sales for
delivery" The great extent and high Importance
ofthe, Provision Trade of our mighty West" have
induced me to offer few remarks upon this dOcu-
ment, as it may misead those who take their views
from parties who are supposed to be pecunisrily
disinterested in the business. It is well also to
examine both sides Of important interests.
Your LOCKER on says There is no reason
why the supply should be less than the last year
the price Of Corn afording no Encouragement to
the keepingof stocks" Now this LOCKER on
should know the fact that, on most of the Upper
Rivers, the price Of Corn has been high, and sales
have been made at so cents 10 20 cents per bushe,
where in former years it could be purchased at
from 10 to 20 cents per bushel. 1t appears to me
that even this fact, would afford disbursement
TO those who were compelled TO pay so high q
price for this article so necessary for develop
ment Of the animsl," but the fact Of a short crop
is so well established, and SO universally admit
ted, that will not attempt TO prove what is al
ready fully admitted The following statement
which may be relied on Is correct so far as il ex-

The discount of three per cent on sixty'day

on the Northern cities, is quite tax on Cotton
buyers here and causes trade In that staple 70 be
somewhat slower than it otherwise would be.
We have bad no mails from New York for the
