HoGs.--ItaRpears from the follow
ing from the Cincinnati Gazette that
the packers there entertain the sam7
views as those in this city:
Sales have already been made as
low as 81 so net, and at close there
we're more sellers than buyers at
this figure. The facts that there is
in the country stock of 100000
bbls pork, an ample supply of Ba-
con, advices from abroad that do not
encourage US to look for a demand
from Europe except at low figures;
that the number Of hogs in the coun-
try is large,and that high prices will
bring out a heavy crop; that packers
have experienced two bad years in
succession, and that they may not be-
able to stand up iu the event of an
other disastrous season-all combine
to operate in favor of low figures, and
were the packing season to COM
mence under the feeling which now
prevails, it would be difficult to real
fze 81 80 for hogs; and the prospects
are against, rather than in favor Of
an upward reaction. Packers have
generally made up in their minds
that, with crop Of hogs as large as
that of last year, prices should not
be over S3 so, and the tendency to
believe that the crop will turn out
large is very strong; aud it must ba
admitted that for such belief there
is strong ground.
