Hogs

We have noticed a very strong dispo-
sition to purchase Hogs, the past week,
at SIS 50@S5 GO for November, and the
fore part of December delivery. and we
understand 900 head sold last Friday,
at SIS 624, to be delivered the last two
weeks of November. There are very
fewoffering at these rates, nor can we
say at any rate, just now A feeling has
taken possession of several individuals
that prices will rule high the soming
season, owing to the great ABUNDANCE OF
money, they say which eould imply this

Finance and Trade.

The New York Shipping md Com
merciaL List of Saturday says that
business, witt here and there an cxcep-
tion is dull, aud the Fall trade is not
likely to provo as satisfactorily as II
promised a few weeks ago. In money
matters there is little or no chsDge to
notice. The supply of unemployed cap.
ital is sti | III excess of the demand, and
the rates allowed on first class mereau
tile paper are 4, 6 and Z per cent, &C
cording to maturity-which arc about
the same rates that were paid per mont.
one year ago. Any body with good sc
c~urities can now borrow money at the
above quoted rates, but those who have
not first class paper, Or the best collase-
Ials, fnd it difficult TO obtain money
except at heavy ehaves. The loans re
ported by the Banks in all the Atlantic
cities are, to a great extent, believed to
be in Ge vernmebt or other reliable Sc
curiEies, as there is not business enough
in progress to warrant the discount liues
now maintained. 1t individuals in ac-
tire trade were borrowers to the extcnt
those discounts indicated, there would
be more street movement, aud cofideIce
would steadily expand. Such, however
is not the case. The future is still in
much discredit@Mereit othegwise, the
great amount of unemployed capital
would scatter and ramify through tusi-
less channels, lubrieatipg as it went,
setting the whole machinery of trade i'll
easy motion.
Intbe Dry Goods Trade business has
fallen off materially within the past ten
days, and there is also considerable ir-
regularity in prices. The great bulk of
the Fall trade is over, aud we notice q
disposition, in come instances, to force
sales at the expense of a reduction of
prices; this is particularly the case with
fancy g~oodsswhich are liable to deprc
ciate in valueb by change of style. The
stock of staple goods is not unduly
large; indeed, there is TN actual scarcity
in some dcscriptions-sucb as Bieeched
Sheetings and Sbirtipgs, the 6uer grades
of Osnaburgs and Blcached Drills
The production of all kinds of goods
continue light, the manufacturing ia'or
est being much depressed By the high
cost which the raw materials bear to
manufactured goods.
