HOGS.-Thc Murfreesboro Ne,Os, of the 2Ist,
says;
On last Friday evening" drove of 942 coed pork
hogs, from Wilson county, was driven to our De-
pot. We learn they were put in and carried
10 the market South of US.
On Monday, another drove of pork hogs arrived
at our Depot designed for Savannah, Ca These
hogs cost 81 % gross, in DeKalb county in this
State.
The Lebanon Herald, of the 22d, says:
Holders are asking $3.50, delivered. We hear
of no contracts at that price. Buyers do not seem
disposed TO pay over So. We have heard Of few
sales at the latter figure.
Seventeen hogs raised by w. X Palmer, OF this
county, being placed upon the balances few days
ago. drew s, 755 lbs average OF 5l5 lbs. each.
The largest one weighed 500 lbs! Can any one beat
that? They were sold for 81 so gross, or ali aver
age of s23.l7i cents each.
The Rogersville Times, of the 18th, says
Hogs are selling in Hawkins county at s4 so gross
Corn is plentiful aud the pork iattened here this
fall will be OF a superior quality.
The Louisville Journal, of the 2lst, says
We announced yesterday that Hull Hunt, & Co.
had commenced killing hogs on Monday afternoon
Owsey, 'Kinnaird g. Co. commenced at the same
time, and both Of these houses we're in operation
yesterday. We have heard of no sales, but the
market may be quoted at 1925 to $3.50. The
weather last evening became warmer, and it was
raining, and this will doubtless a suspension
of operations and may again depress prices. Buy
ers evidently do not desire to enter the market un.
I'll the weather becomes more favorable.
The Cincinnati Gazette of the 18th, says:
Considerable activity observable in hogs and
the provision trade The former advanced to Sc. rs,
and at this figure there more buyers than sell
lers $S7aS7 being the asking prices toward the
close. The weather was Loerably favorable and
with only limited number of hogs in the pens
and several parties wanting early lots, sellers bad
the advantage. There was also good demand for
pieces and shoulders sold at 6ta6Rc, and it said
that 81 was realized. Sides brought II and hams
ste. Mess pork that was offered last week at SIT
saleabe to day a: $3.50, and SIS was asked
The purchases of products, and of hogs TO some
extent, were on Eastern account The receipts Of
hogs increasing, and with favorable weather the
cutting will in a few days be general. We heard Of
no transactions in lard, but prime barrel may be
quoted at lie
The St. Louis Republican, of the 10Th, says;
Buyers appear unwilling to meet the views of
holders, and talk Of 81 TO &C. for heavy fated
averaging 200 pounds aud upwards. We presume
&c. might be obtained Weather too warm for
pork operations, and parties engaged in watching
the market and fixing safe basis for operating.
The developments thus far made are not sufficient
TO justify statement on part
At Alexandra and Glasgow, No., sales are re-
ported at S4.59, 500 and 5.25. The Springfield
Qll) Journal reports sales at $3.50, and in one in.
stance at So and say holders OF hogs are insisting
upon the latter figure, which packers do not accede
to.
