Pork.

During the week past there has been
q large quantity Of Pork brought into mar
ket The sudden and early setting in of cold
weather, made it a favorable time for slaugh-
tering, although about two weeks earlier
than most Of the farmers had set for killing.
The good prices which corn demands, in
duced them to bring their pork in earlier
than they would otherwise have DONE
We think they would have realized better
prices and gained reputation for first
rate article by delay Of two weeks. There
has been considerable first quality, ranging
from 200 to 800; but the great majority Of
the hogs have fallen below 200. Several
of our merchants are buying. Some has
been packed here, but the great portion is
shipped east by railroad. Prices paid for
200 hogs have averaged about 1915; those
weighing 25o and upwards, from s4.oo to
$4,25. During the week past there has
been 1880 hogs shipped from this place, by
railroad; their total weight amounting to
245,s4o pounds
The prices in the Cincinnati market have
declined so to rs cents within the past few
days, the receipts there are large.
The Ohio State Journal of the 18th says
the price Of hogs is declining At Madison,
Ind, the price ranges from $3.50 10 $500
AT Cincinnati from $3.50 to $4,75. This
is for corn-fed hogs of good weight
The Vincennes, Ind, Gazette. Of the 9th
says, the prices Of pork seem to be looking
up. Our packers are paying from 81 to g.
according to quaty-good corn-fed bring
ing the highest figures. Some good lott
have been brought in. AS heretofore sup
posed, the quantity will be large, but th'
quality not SO good as last year.

AESUAL REPoRr OF TUE GENERAL LAND
0FFrcE.-The general fscls are briefly as
follows: During the year ending June 80
there were 7.035,00o acres sold for cash I;
$4,000 located by land warrants, and
$4,000 other certificates; l1,00o,0 900 re-
ported as swamp land, and l,75l,ooo for
internal rovement-making total Of
23,23s,3lS acres For the last quarter,
4.7s0,ooo acres were disposed Of being al.
together an increase Of sales amounting to
100000 acres over the previous year,
though there is dminution Of 100000,
including land warrant and swamp trans.
ac,ions-the difference being caused by the
fact that most Of the grants for bounty lands,
swamps, railroads, &c, had previously been
disposed Of. The sales for the third quar-
ter ofthe calendar year are more than twice
as heavy as those for the corresponding
quarter Of the previous year, though the
locations are less numerous From the 30th
Of September, 1863, TO the 30th of Septem-
ber, 1854. 9,3S4,464 acres were surveyed,
chiefly in Wisconsin. Iowa, Minnesota and
Florida, and s,l9o,Sl7 acres were brought
into market. This is exclusive of the sur
veys in California, Oregon and Washington,
amounting to l.6s6,48l acres. which have
not yet been proclaimed for sale. The Com.
missioner says, on an average, full one third
more business has been done in the Office
during the past year than in the preceding
Of the 28,543,785 acres embraced by the
land warrants now issued, 22,235, $50 acres
have been located-leaving only 4,3o7 $50
acres to be satisfied. With regard to rail.

ket. in anticipation ofgrants for railroad and
