The Cincinnati market is thus quoted by
the Commercial of the 2sd inst:
ain the Hog market there is no altera-
ton, the demand is quite small, and hardly
equal to tho receipts; 50 5o@s6 90 may be
called the currency.
In Provisions there is no alteration, II
anything prices are slightly easier. Dro-
vers think hard to accept present prices be-
cause it is entaiing heavy losses, being far
below the prices paid last summer
[Ffom the vincennes, Ind Sun, 2otl.l
There have been no transactions in hogs
at this point. Farmers are asking 50 90,
but this figure is above the views of buyers,
and there will be but few bought here at
that price.
rFrom tho Anderson, Ind, Standard 2oth.1
The hog trade appears to be opening very
dull this season. Prices ranging from SO
25 to 81 so. Many are wanting to buy on
time. 1t seems that low prices must be OK
pected beyond a doubt, and the further the
season advances, the lower prices must rule.
CFrOm the Louisville Democrat ofsaturdny.1
There was but one house killing hogs
yesterday; they slaughtered about 1000
head. We heard of no transactions in hogs
but report sales of 1000 hams and 1000
shoulders from the block, at 7c for the
hams and sc for the shoulders cash.
rFrom the Chicago Tribune 2Oth.l
There is quite an improvement to note in
this trade. A sale Cf 500 head took place
last night for Wednesdays delivery at $4
15 gross. They are to average $50 lbs
gross. A sale is also noted of 100 head o
! very choice hogs, averaging tho extremely
heavy weight of 250 lbs net at 81 so pei
gross.
Provisions are in better demand also
100 lbs Lard sold at 10c per ID. for ship
mcnt to New York. The Mess Pork nov
being packed is mostly sold at SIG pc
Dbl.
CFrom the No. Republican, 21st.l

er arrivals here to-day, and it is infcrre
they will come forward regularly and stead
lily from this time, for the operators, W
believe, look for liberal receipts on and a
ter next Monday. Transactions in Por
still very light.
[From the steubenville, o.. Herald
There is fair business doing in hog
this winter at rather moderate prices.--
Prices in Coshocton county fell within q fe'
a weeks from So 25 to 81 so, and dull &
!, that. In Washington county, Pa, man
+ of the farmers design killing and saltin
their own hogs. They cannot get offel
above 81 so pdr hundred lbs. and these o
c fers they are not disposed to accept.
