THE HOG CROP.
The Louisville Journal Of the l9tt

The Louisville Journal OF the 9Th
says:
Between 5000 aud 1000 hogs
were on the market yesterday.
Droyers we're asking $3.50. but we
did not hear Of sale, this price
being generally above the views Of
the regular packers. The news
from Cincinnati by telegraph last
evening, noting dizziness with a
decided downward tendency, had
the effect of making buyers ope-
rate with still more caution. The
trade consider prices entirely too
high and some packers are doing
nothing at all. Some of the hogs
coming in we're bought by parties
in the country at high prices, and
they are now offered for sale here by
them. The number killed up to
last evening will not fall short Of
$4,000 head.
The following is the dispatch from
Cincinnati referred to BY the Journal:

The change to cold freezing wealth
er which came on al the beginning
Of the present week induced all on,
packing houses to open for immedi,
ate operations. As the quantity Of
hogs Offering was limited their ill.,
creased demand produced an advan.
cling market. % Monday 5 so
|@S6 was the governing range &C.
cording to weight and condition, and
yesterday Sc 123@S6 % were paid
for few lots weighing 200 lbs and
upwards; 400 sold at an average

The Murfreesboro Telegraph of the
goth says: "a large quantity Of
pork has been engaged during the
past week at 5 cents. It is now
thought that will be the ruling
price here"
The Bristol (Virginia) News of the
18th says:
The beginning Of the cold wealth
er has given an impulse to the
pork business, about a thousand
head having arrived here Wednesday
for shipment to the east. There
have been no sales, however, as yet
at this point, Of sufficient extent to
make quotation from. DrOvers,
we learn, are demanding six dol
lars.
A Wytbeville correspondent Of
the Lynchburg (Virginia) Republi-
caa, under date Of the 14th in
slant says: Pork has been offered
at Sc 5O@S7 q 100 lbs. but no
buyers. 1t will be very scarce this
season.
The HUNTSVILLE (AIa.l Advocate
of the 18th says:
PoRK.--Last week Hogs were
sold at the market house in Hunts
vile at 6 cents. This week they
have been selling at 5 cents-a
decline of one cent. We have heard
of no engagements Ct Pork. Buy
ers are unwilling to engage at more
than four cents. At that rate Pork
could be readily sold in Huntsville
for cash.
The Chattanooga Advertiser Of
the 18th says:
The market here for hogs is quiet;
