COMMERCIAL MATTERS.

HoGs.-lhe hog market seems TO be an StGtl
quo at all points. The advent of cold weather
will set things a-going more lively. The Gin
cinnali Gazette, of the 9TH, says:
In our market for hogs no change has taken place
dnring the week. either regards the general feel
ing the part Of packers aud dealers regards
prices. No contracts, that We know of, have been
made, and there is a very general disposition mani
tested both by BUYERS and owners, TO hold back
until the packing season opens. DroVers have, as
general thing, paid prices for their hogs render.
ing them unable TO sell at S6:25a650 net, except
at material loss, ard they, therefore, more
disposed TO run the chances for a few weeks than
20 sell now at a positive loss.
The Cincinnati Price Current of the same
date, says:
No essentia, change has taken place in the mar.
ket for either hogs cattle since our last. The
only sale OF hogs we heard of 500 head at
81. so net for delivery this month-ths is the out
side obtansble for early delivery, and even at
this figure buyers are not anxious TO operate, and
the market must be quite dlll at S6:25a6:50 net,

however, ask S6:50a6:75, aud in some cases g.
The market tor Beet Cattle is rather easier,

lbs, are worth S7OOa725 net. Quite large mum.

The Quincy Qll) Wing, of the 81 inst, says:
The high prices At which hogs are rated, for fu %
sure delivery renders il exceedingly difficult TO give
reliable quotations. week ago IS 80 would have
been paid but few or none could be bought at that
price. II we are any Judge of the state of things
now, BUYERS have ''hauled oh"-ai least Tor time
aud until the packing season commences, tsay the
list OF Dec present indications that they will
DO very reserved la their offers We doubt whether
any higher figure than S. could be obtained now.
The increase in hogs cut up at this point, will
probably be large, and the amount OF business IN
this line largely IN excess OF that in any other wear
This will be mainly caused by the facilities afforded
by the railroad for getting hogs from a section OF
country which has not hitherto depended on the
Quincy market. The hogs in this section will be
heavier and fatter than usual, although we have
always turned out crop fully equal TO any other
packing point.
In Greene and Macoupn counties, H., the
number Of hogs is reported small, and stock
hogs have been bought up at 81 % gross.
The Indianapolis Qa) SeHtiRei, Of the LIST
inst, says:

In hog killing his Strengthening establishment near
this city. lie has already packed a large number
of hogs. and il is said that his establishment viii,
during the season, pack about 10000 head. We
learn that the prices paid equal TO 50 per cwG.
