The market for hogs was easier today. but
there was pretty good demand at from is to
2uc below yesterday figures. Holders, howey-
| er, were not willing to make concessions, gen.
orally, 1915 having in most cases been resolute
/ 1y contended for. The bulk Of the sales, not
/ wit!lstanding,were atthe reduced figures, estab-
fishing decline, rs compared with yesterday 8,
| Of fully 15c. This was owing in part to the
weather, which was untavorable, the thermome-
ter in 1he afternoon being up to 54e and there
better. The under current, We think. indicates
more confidence, aud buyers, if the weather
~cre favorable, would willingly split the differ.

Of lndlaan hogs. The Indianapolis and Ciucir.
! uati road brought in 5000 head yesterday. The
indications are that the marker will be much
better supplied early in tue season than was an.
ticipRicd, and it has been discovered that it is
not necessary to sell hnlftatted hogs to pro-
ducc this result. Nearly nil the hogs arriving
are for sule aud there il general disposition to
sell them, il current prices can be obtained
In provisions, the feature was demand from
NeT York tor old mess pork, which swept the

lFrom the st. Louis De1ocz.,. 1s,h.l
We heard Of no aa1es to-day, though negotsa-
lions were making for different lots by the city
packers. Receipts from different sections are
lad-some lots from nj high up as Springfield,
ILL.,, arc coming in, although packing has already
commenced at that point. From tue scarcity Of
stock ia Illinois, in proportion 10 tho amount Of
corn this grain ,s being shipped East largely a.
rea3y, and excellent prices received fur It, At
Mattoon station, some S ,00t acres Of corn are in
sight; one man has $500 acres Of it. Strawn,
tAe great stock feeder near Jacksonville, Las

in the aggregate is undoubtedly vcry large
one.

From present indications, the pork trade will
bc brisk here this winter. There will be suffi.
cient competition to keep prices up to the high
est figures that the markets elsewhere and the
experience Of the buyers will allow.
Irsom ale Louisville Courier, lsth.l
The hog slaughtering aud pork packing sea-
sou has fairly commenced, with heavy receipts
by the Frankfort aud Nashville railroads, yes
terday and to-day. In regard to transactions,
we l'uve not as get heard Of any decided move
tract to any greai extent: at my fixed price,
and their views are far below the prices Of The
larmers, who arc generally asking 81 gross for
fat hogs.
T4e sudden change Of the weather on Satur-
day created rather more feeling la the market.
aud our packers hare contracted for 1000 or
500 hogs on private terms, deliverable here
dorin. the present week from Lebanon, ky.
We learn that hogs are selling in Washington
county. ky:, for $3.50 per 6, oss, but farmers
arc generally firm at $500. Watkins, Hunt i
Co. slaughtered some 800 hogs on Sunday.
Duncan L Co., killed 200 head. Messrs. Ows.
lty Go. expect to kill few hogs tomorrow,
hut the houses will not commence full operations
until tile 18th OF November. We Zee ii slated in
l Lafayette. lad, paper, that the hog killing
along the Wabash river will not commence un-
week and nc1tiarge droyes hogs are expected
to arrive here from different portions Of the
State, but we have not yet learned what the
packers nre paving. Before this time last year
i large number Of hogs had arrived, and some
houses had commenced slaughtering. The
ptices then paid wc1e &c net.

Dressed Hogs have commenced coming in
quite freely. Most Of them are tight. not aver-
aging over $50 pounds. The prices paid to-day
raugrd from 1915 to $4.5o, the litter price be.
lug paid for heavy Hogs.
4uently the Beef market is dull. The prices
paid range from e2-5o to f. per 100 pounds,
Which is very low. Persons accustomed to the
business Of packing Beef could not find better
location than here.
lFsom the Nilwauk.e sentn'l 1911:
The hog market experienced something Of .
reaction. Large receipts, unfaTorab'e weather
iur packing, and conviction on the part Of
dealers thut the present state Of Eastern mar
ket docs not warrant them in paying the price
that ruled yesterday. oil seemed to work IN con-
cert against the market to-day, and prices de-
cliucd 2i@ SOC. The best heavy hogs did not
70 outside Of $5.11i, and there we're lew buyers
who would come up to this mark. Hogs under
lsV pounds ranged from 4.J0 to Is, aud ,went
rathcr SLOWLY. Receipts since the beginning of
the month, FROM which We reckon the COM
mencenent Of the packing eeasoo, amount to
s.3ss head BY rail, and the receipts by ether
sources for the same period arc variousIy esti-
mated 1t 500 to l,oO0-we will say S00-which
will give US thus far = total Of Alps head, Of
