Gbe Narkats --IatRst Butts


There have been copious rains within the
past three days, but the river has not been ma
i terially affected by them. 1t is still too shall
low for any but the smallest steam craft. though
swelling slightly. The rains appear to have
extended to the head waters of the river, and
rise is confidently expected by steamboat
men.
We have no improvement to nute in any de-
partment Of trade except Cotton, and the
transactions in itare small for this period of the
season. There is little probability of much
Improvement until navigation opens.
Cotton--There has been more inquiry this
week in the cotton market and a greater dis
position manifested to begin operations in
earnest. Under this improved feeling, about
800 bales have been sold at prices ranging from
! 6@72lc, the latter figure being an advance up
on the highest prices paid last week.
! The receipts are on the increase and from
the LIST of September to date, amount to some
$50 bales against 2,736 bales at q cores
ponding date last season.
Tobscco-Receipts light No sales.
Flour-The prices of Flour are sitter and
the stock somewhat lighter. The demand
continues fair. Wequote at S7@8.
Sugar--The stock of Sugar, though limited,
is equal to the demand, and prices are un-
changed.
Coffee-Accessions per Railroad make the
stock ample, and Rio is selling at ll1a g lac.
Whisky-The supply of Whisky Is small,
and prices high. Ohio rectiaed is heid atoog
60c
Cheese--There have been several arrivals of
small lots of Ohio Cheese since our last, and 1t
is held at 13c p b.
Candles--Tallow candles are still held at
14c Star candles have gone down a notch
and are selling at 27@2Sc.
Salt-The stock of Salt has been very SEN
sibly diminished this week, and is now very !
small There are, however, in this river a
stock of between 1000 and 1900 sacks intend |
ed for this market and on the first rise of wa
ter it may be expected to arrive. No change |
in quotations. I
Bacon--The demand for Bacon, since the |
pork season set in. has been but moderate, and |
but little is offered for sale. We continue our
quotations. II
Meal--In demand at SO@90c. The mar
ketis ndiferertly supplied.
Pork-1he price of Pork is still irregular. /
Sales continue to be made in small lots at
4Is@5c. We hear of no packing going on,
and it is probable none will be done here this
season, the high price of hogs and corn ma
king the business "extra hazardous"
Caffeine change. We quote at 81 @4c. |
Sheep--$l1s@S2 q head.
LOUISVILLE, KY
Hoqs-The Louisville Journal of Thurs
day says: The unfavorable we ather for killing |
has thrown damper on the market, and the /
market Yesterday was decidedly fat Only a
few hundred were killed, and from appearan-
ces last evening none will be killed to-day I
There are, from all we can learn, about &c, 900 |
head around the falls. Corn is very high, and |
to feed hogs is therefore great expense. We |
have 10 doubt that as soon as the weather turns
cold. a reaction will take place. The on'y sale
heard of yesterday was lot of 200 head, av-
eragng $50 lbs, at 81 rs, cash. A large dis
tinction is made in sales for cash and ON TOUR
months time.
CINCINNATI, OHro-
Hoqs.--The Cincinnati Gazette of Wednes-
day says: The packing season has now fairly I
commenced, but most of the hogs cut, SO far,
have been on account of drovers. Within the /
last few days. however, buyers have increased,
and the market closes pretty firm at 80 75@ +
4 OO--few good lots to be had less than 81 90,
while they are in many instances held higher
In addition to these figures slaughterers are
giving from 90 to 40c per head premium. The
feeling with reference to the supply in the West
is that there will be a full if not an increased
number packed, and from the information we
have been able to gather, we. think it likely, if
packers pay $4 90 and upwards there will be
an excess in number. Hogs are much lighter
this year than last. but this defci ency WILL in
all probability, be made up in heads. i
New ORLEANS. La
Cotton--Sales of 1900 bales Middling
SlaMS5dc. Flour So so.
SAvASNAH, Ga

or grades, but we have no change TO notice in
prices. The sales foot up 837 bales at S@9%c.
Flour-S9@9 so p Dbl.
~Corn--The supply continues to be limited.
1t is selling from store in small lots at 81 25.

76@80c. N
PrrTsBURG, Pa
Hoqs.--About 100 hogs have been pur-
chased for packing here. so far, and other par
celsare engaged along the line of the Railroad;
but it is SO difficult to obtain that they dol
not come in fast Those purchased SO far have,
been taken at 33s@32l gross, and Al @4a
net. Shipments continue to be made to Phiia-
delphia, but they are not generally good
slaughtering hogs. Dressed hogs are not quo
table at above 3ll5c, and it is noted that they
are mostly small.
