The Daily Nashville true Whig. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1851-1855, 1855-11-05

ToBAooo.-The Louisville Courier, of the
LIST inst, says
In our commercial review, in another col
umn, will be seen a brief statement of the sales
of tobacco at the auction houses during the
current year, ending on the last of October
BY this it will be seen that there has been an
increase this year over the last, despite the un-
usual short crop. Prices have ruled high
throughout the year, and new tobacco, the re-
ceipts of which are light as vet, has been sold
at prices ranging from s. to 81 80 for factory
Tugs and medium grades. The total sales at
the warehouses for the year were II ,G25 hogs
heads.
The st. Louis Republican, of the goth ult.,
says:
News'from Pike and Galloway counties, the
best sections of the State for manufacturing
leaf represent the new crop in favorable
light, both as regards quantity and quality
The yield will prove larger and better than
last year. We quote Tugs at s. % 10 80,
common shipping s. 70 to 6 25 medium 80
to 90, fine 80 % 90, common manutac-
turing 7 90 TO 90, medium 80 to 9 30,
fine 10 90 TO 10 90. Scarcely any fine leaf
offered.
HoGs.-The packers at St. Louis, according
to the Republican, of the Goth ult., appear to
have fixed their prices at s. 80 to Sc, and
these rates rule throughout the country as far
as that paper can learn from reported transac-
tons.
The Cincinnati Price Current, of the 9lst
ult., says:
During the last four or five days very
strong indispostion has been manifested TO
operate in hogs at the current rates quoted ia
our last, and in cases where sales have been
effected, il has been at a decline of fully 50per
cent. from the outside Iates of the week pre-
vious. The only transactions we heard of du-
ring the week was one Of 800 head 10 be de-
lvered during the last week of November, at
5000 per cwt. nett. Ii is now exceedingly
doubtful that sales could be made tor Decem-
Der delivery at over Sc, though there are no
sellers at this rate, and drovers have their ideas
up TO $3.50 and $675, and do not show any
disposition to sellers.
Fat Hogs are now selling to the butchers at
1915 per cwt. gross, which is equal to $3.50
per cwt. nett; but the market is dull, ard the
demand is not equal to the supply. In Beef
Cattle there is no change 10 notice; we heard
of sale of 100 head, averaging 600 lbs. nett,
at 5000 per cwt.
IRoN.-The Cincinnati Price Current, of the
3lst ult., says:
Under the influence Of the unfsvorable adj
vices from the East, the market for Pig is less
firm, but prices have underwent no essential
change We continue TO quote Ohio River Hot
Blast Pig at $50; prime do. Cold Blast at $500;
and Tennessee Cold Blast at 2SO0a3l:00; aud
common Ohio River do. al 3l:00 to $780,
Bars are steady at 2ia3 and 34a4c. for COM
mon and charcoal, with a moderate demand
The sales OF Pig during the week include 100
tons prime Tennessee Cold Blast az $500; 1855
do. Ohio River Hot Blast at $500; and 70 DO.
tennessee Cold Blast at 2S00 all mos.
