From the CIncinni Ii Price Current
Durin, the past week we have received
information from various localities in the
West, regarding The present state f'ha corn
crop, and not little about hogs. Without
going into detail, we will give the points in
a brief summary. In this State, except in
light sandy soils, the corn crop is much bet
Ter than was eXpecled a month ago, md,
generally speaking, is full average, taking
into consideration tho greater breadth OF
land planted. In light, sandy soil, howev-
er, il never recovered IRON the effects of the
droulh in July, and in all such cases the
yield will not be over half an average, but
tho quantity OF such land is small, and CEN
sequenily Tie effect will not be felt. In In
diana the crop is excellent, and in all the
Wabash country is usually heavy, the ears
being longer and better filled than usual
Indeed we have no complaints from any
portion Of that State; in all parts the crop
appears TO be satisfactory. A good crop Of
wheat has been sown, and il looks well.
In Illinois, except from few counties
in the N orthern portion fthe State, where
ii was injured by frost. the crop is fair, in
many places good, and in all good rich corn
lands, heavy. 1t is moi yet fully matured,
but the present weather is very favorable,
and large quantity tina; it was supposed
would not mature before the frost would
come, is now nearly out Of danger, and gen.
orally exceeds The expectations of the farmer.
II Iowa, there is considerable variety in
the crop; in the northern portion Of the
State we hear Of the injury done by the
frost about the first Of September, and some
represent ii serious, while others say it
was but slight, as the stalk and ears were
not injured, only the leaves. We have not
heard roE this State fully enough, as yet,
SO as 10 be able TO speak of The crop very
definitely.
In Missouri, the crop is pretty good,
though, like Iowa, we have net heard from
many points IN that State.
In Kentucky, the crop is represented a
fair average. and is fully matured, the quail
iiy being excellent.
In Virginia the corn crop, we learn, is a
partial failure, and not over two-thirds Of
last years crop.
We have no very definite advices from
Tennessee, but from what we have, our i'm
preston is The crop is moderately good,
Though in some places it is short, conse-
QuenI npon the drought.
In ali the places we have head from,
hogs are being generally fed with great
care and industry, and it is exceedingly DIFF
fcult TO purchase stock hogs, showing that
the owners feel satisfied they are fully able
10 feed all they have. The reverse was the
case al this time last year. In many places
the farmers have been feeding with the
green corn since the LIST Of September. In
many parts of Indiana stock hogs are scarce
and in demand, as high as 44c gross having
been paid for them. There seems TO be no
speculation going OF. and we hear of no con-
tracts being made. The impression is gen.
eral with the farmers that they will obtain
high prices for their hogs, but all those who
went in so freely last Fall, are now hold
ing off. The indications are that the num-
Der of hogs brought 10 market will he as
great as last year, and that their condition
will be far better
In this carket there have been no con-
tracts made, so far as we have heard though
there are buyers for November of S. IS,
and We understand that one party offers Sc,
but it is generally supposed that they want
them 10 fill those contracts made oil Sc 25(0
6 IS last season, for delivery the coming
November. The present active demand for
Bacon, and baroness of the marke, Of Hams
together with those contracts, it is suppos-
ed, will make The market open high, prob
ably So, as many think, but the greater ma
iority Of dealers are determined 10 hold
back until prices rule at safer point, and
this point is fixed in their minds at So, or
thereabouts.
