question, and that we need have no misgiv-

Hoes.-The hog market is attracting a
good deal of attention, and notwithstanding
the disastrous results of last year, there are
buyers for all the hogs that are offering, for
early delivery, at s. per 100 lbs. net. So
far as we are advised, the contracts for No
yember delivery reach thirty thousand head.
An impression is gaining ground that the
"crop" will not be as large as was antcipa-
ted. Some weeks ago, we stated that the
opening price would not be less than S..
Subsequently the feeling became quite
heavy, and we expected to have to back
that assertion; but another change has Ia
ken place, which fully confirms US that the
opening price will not be below So. For
late delivery we hear of no sales, and the
highest offer for January was 81 50.-Cin
