this CITY About 5000, 900 have been subscribe 4
ed, aud additional subscriptions arc expected II
Efforts are now being made to perfect the organi-
cation and get it into working order. The on-
iect is, in the absence of currency, to purchase
pork on the credit and paper of the company
Their paper would be readily taken in this city
from country merchants in payment OF debts or
for northumberland CITY.
CHICAGO, ILL. 23d.-There is now good de-
1nand BY Chicago packers for live Hogs at S4a
i 80 per 1O0lbs gross. The weather is favor
able for packing purposes, and receipts are very
fair, being 4, 4T5 herd in the 81 hours ending at
noon Saturday by railroad. Most of the re-
ceipts are by the Illinois Central and by the Al
ton road.-Iribuaa.
CAss CouxTY, hI.-The Cass County (ltl)
Times contains the following call which may in
teTest operators:
There is an unusually large number Of fine,
we'll fattened Hogs, in the county. Ten or
twelve thousand have been contracted, at 81
uer hundred, but it is feared there is or will he
an indisposition or inability to live up to some
of the contracts, by paying cash on delivery.
This will not suit some of our farmers, who are
afraid to sell on tick, in these ticklish times,
when it is SO common for business men to sus-
pend payment. Hence ne who will pay all cash
in hand, can buy Hogs on much better terms
than he who aims to buy on credit. Cash down
will be the rule, and credit sales the exception,
provided there are any cash buyers in market
SPRINGFIELD IT., Nov. 19.-We rapidly
advancing upon the period when pork must be
packed, if it is to be done this season. We
hear of no purchase being made of pork for
packing Sales of small lots to shippers are
| made at So to So % gross. The plan offarmerS
packing their own hogs has seldom worked
WE'LL especially when the supply of pork is
greater than the demand. We observe that
some of our exchanges favor the selling of pork
by the farmer to the packer on four months
credit, rather than that each man ouldcngage
in packing on his ON account. This plan may
be male to work if the worst comes; but in our
judgement the interest ofall classes will be much
better promoted if pork transactions are made
for cash, even if it be necessary that the price
should 90 very low in order to obtain the money

LOUISVILLE, Nov 25TH.-Messrs. Hull, Hunt
& / o., killed their first lot Of Hogs Yesterday
They numbered few hundred only. The to-
tai killed around the falls up to this time is
5000
AS to prices, the few Hogs that have come in
had been previously contracted for; So cash for
net weight could be obtained In the country,
buyers and sellers arc at variance and very few
transactions are taking place. We hcarot two
sales in Madison-one lot of $50 head at 81
gross, u months without interest, aud the 9TH
err of 1877 head at 81 gross, 10 months with in
lterest from the LIST of February. Also, 1000
lhcad very heavy, in town near the Illinois riV-
cr, at ST nct.-.Iournal
NASHVILLE, TExN.-Dealers are offering $4a5
not for Hogs-rathera wide range.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Nov. 19.-From re-
cent trip into the hog raising countries we learn
that there arc far more hogs III the country than
was supposed u few months Since-and that
they will be heavily fatted as all will admit
when seeing the immense crops of corn in every
portion of the State In the carly part of the
season hogs sold as high as 0a54 cts, gross,
WHEREAS now those prices would not he given
for hogs net. We learn that MeSSrs Chandler
aud McCany have made purchases at IA net,
and can buy any number at that pricc.-Ad-

CoLUMRus GA-On the other hand, Column
bus (Ga.) paper says:
| Hoes ScAncE-Would it not be well for Ten
neSseeans who are supplying the country north
aud east OF US, to bring portion of their hogs
to Columbus? Pork is Slaughtering and selling
here ut ten cents net 1t does seem to us that it
ought to be sold in Columbus Mt 8 cents net, and
pay good profit.
ATLAxrA, GA-At Atlanta, Ga, three pork
houses have been set in operation They are
carried on by j. j. ThraSher, n. l.. Angler, and
Holland & Davis.
ST LoUIs-NOthing is doing to-day in hogs.
Some little slaughtering is taking place at the
packing yards, but it is mostly of stock which
was contracted for early in the fall at So to $3.50
per 100 lbs, The only opening sale of the sea-
sou was made n DAY or TWO since, When ABOUT
200 head were taken by Ashbrook & Co. at
$3.50, the hogs to average 200 lbs. This figure
is probably the extreme to which our dealers
may CO. The weather is now becoming steadily
cold and suited for packing purpoSes.-DemO-
er0t, 23d.
LAFAYETTE, ND, Nov. 10, 1857.
EDlToR PRICE CURRENT: Dear Sir-l have been
waiting some time to see price established for
Pork in this place, as the season for packing has
arrived.
1t seems difficult for sellers and buyers to
agree on figures, satisfactorily; the latter talk of
81, 80 and the former of $5a5, 80 net; few have
been purchased at So net, but none for less. l
incline to the opinion the price will not go be-
low So net and comparatively few will be packed
in this city or vicinity at any price. The num-
Der of Hogs in the upper Wabash Valley will, 1
think, be found greatly short-COr. Gin. Price
