The Hoe MAREET.-The Cincinnati Ga.
zette of Friday says:
"Some lots Of hogs arrived from Kentucky
Yesterday. The weather being too warm "a,
packing, butchers are the only purchasers in
market, and SO per 100 lbs. gross is about as
much as they are disposed TO pay. The lot
referred to W: $ offered at SO 30. The feeling
with reference to prices continues TO tend
downwards. A small lot sold yesterday for
delivery nj "a 25, but packers manifest very
little disposition to operate. and this figure is
above their views generally"
a correspondent of the st. Louis Repub.
lican, writing from Muscatine, Iowa, under
date of the 18th inst, says:
The prospect for hogs in Iowa and North
ern Illinois never was better than at present.
Crops are excellent, and the country full Of
stock, and consequently pork will be well
iattened. II is expected that the number to
be packed here this season, will be largely
over that of last year, and of the very best
quality. Little or nothing is said, as vel, as
to the probably price Il is reported that
200 head Of slop fatted hogs were sold lately
at Burlington, at SO 80, net. OF the fact |
know nothing, but regard this price as full
high for the best corn fatted hogs. at any
point above the Rapids. | met merchant
engaged in business at Rock Island, who
gave il as his opinion that he could contract
for hogs at that place at 81 rs net This is
all have been able to learn in regard 10 pri-
ces, and only give the information for what it
is worth"
The Cincinnati Gazette has the following.
Sales have already been made as low MS $3.50
nett, and at close there were more sellers
than buyers at this figure. The fact that
there is in the country stock of 100000 bar.
rels pork, an ample supply of bacon; advices
from abroad that do not encourage us TO look
for demand from Europe except at low fig
ures; that the number of hogs in the country
is large, and that high prices will bring ont a
heavy crop that packers have experienced
two bad years in succession, and that they
may not be able to stand up in the even. Of
another disastrous season-all combine to
operate in favor of low figures, and were the
packing season to commence under the feeling
which now prevails, it would lie difficult to
realize $3.50 for hogs; and the prospects are
against, rather than in favor of an upward re.
action. Packers have generally made up their
minds that, with crop of hogs as large as
that of last year, prices should not oe over
$3.50. and the tendency to believe that the
crop will turn out large is very strong; and it
must be admitted that for such q belief there
is strong ground.

Hoes AT PEKIN AND ALONG THE ILLINOIS
RlvER.-The st Louis Inteligencer of the
Goth says, "that some purchases and contracts
have been made at a number of points along
the Illinois river, but in majority of cases
the price did not transpire, or the precise fig
ures were not agreed upon. Packers and
others display considerable anxiety to make
sure of what they want, and in order to eff
feet this, they have, in many instances, con-
tracted for hogs, the price to be the current
market rate upon delivery? We know that
several lots have been purchased at Pekin in
this manner, and learn that the same has been
done at other points. $3.50 to 81 are about
the views of buyers while the majority of
sellers are in the neighborhood of $3.50 and
S.. We have heard of no sales, however,
for which these figures were given, except
the 5000 head reported at Springfield, at
$3.50 with tail to it. Here packers talk of
81, and as far as we have heard an expression
of opinion, none calculate that less than this
will be paid at any time during the season.
A drovcr was in the city yesterday offering to
contract ] 900 to 1900 head at S., but found
no buyer"

~ There is very long article in the
Journal de Frankfort of the 9th on the recent
ukase of the Emperor of Russia ordering n
levy Of 100000 men in the Western Provinces
of his Empire. This and the movement OF
troops towards Warsaw the writer regards
not merely MS a menace, but ms challenge to
Austria, the Emperor of Russia being resolv-
ed, he says, whatever the fate of the war may
reserve for him elsewhere, on making de-
monstraton with view of putting Germany
under subsection. If Prussia and the rest of
Germany have any regard for their indepen-
dence, they must, says the writer, protect
Austria, and enable her to resist with success
the designs of Russia, for without this aid she
can only carry on defensive war, the chances
of which cannot be calculated.

BUSINESS PRosPEcTs.-Thc New York
Commercial List of the 18th inst, in COM
menting upon commercial matters, has an en-
couraging paragraph in connection with fu-
ture prospects. As the present is not regard
ed as peculiarly fattering 10 business men
throughout the country, it may be some graf
ification to look ahead in search ofsomething
to brighten hopes:
Business generally continues excessively
dull-qute as stagnant, indeed. as in mid
summer. The money pressure is very gener-
ally felt by the trading community at large,
though the banks, having gained strength
since last week by the accession of half n
million specie and considerable contraction
in the line Of discounts, are again offering
slightly increased facilities to their customers.
They still wisely observe great caution how
ever, in not extending their loans beyond
point of security. Our imports continue to
exhibit marked falling off as compared with
the corresponding period of last year, which,
taken in connection with the recent decline
in sterling exchange, leads us to believe that
there will be some check to the specie drain
to Europe at no very remote period, more
especially as the new crop of cotton will be-
gin to 90 forward soon, at an increased ratio,
thus augmenting the supply of bills where
with to pay our foreign indebtedness. In view
of these favorable indications, a moderate de-
gree of relief to the money market may rea-
sonably be looked for, we think, at the en-
piraton of another month. The judicious
policy of contraction which has been in pro-
gress 10 mercantile circles for some months
past, has already been productive of much
good in reducing the fall obligations now
maturing, and, If persevered in trade will ere
long rest on much sounder basis than for sew
eral years past.
