Hogs.
The Springfield (lll.) Journal of the
11th, says:
The hog market is stagnant. The Peo-
ria Statesman says nothing is doing yet in
that city, owing 10 the Scarcity of money
and the unwillingness of the farmers to con-
tract at the rates offered. AT Pekin,
Havana and Beardstown, So and So 30 are
the highest prices named. We hear Of no
transactions at Springfield.
The Ripley (Ohio) Bee Of the 18th, re-
marks:
We can hear of no recent contracts FOR
hogs at this place. Several weeks ago
few were contracted for at figures con.
sderably higher than could be obtained
now. There seems TO bea mutually under
stood standoif between buyers and sellers at
present. No certain price is offered or
asked. Both appear to be waiting until tie
price shall become settled. Our houses are
prepared to do extensive business, if re-
qnired. The stock Of hogs, however, in
this region, is not very large, and there will
hardly be as many brought to this market
as in some previous seasons probably
more and better hogs than last year, as corn
is ,abundent. 'f.-. .....-.
