THg Hoo CRor IL TESsEssEE.-We hare been
perm tied TO- copy the following letter from ::
responsible firm in Chattanooga to house in
this city:
CuA77AsoooA, Nov. :5t 1859.
Yours Of the eod inst. duly received, and we
note your remarks about hogs, which corrobor-
ates nli our advices from the Northwest
The corn crop being light in Tennessee, hogs
are being forced of half fatteued, ard Ire now
moving very readily to the South; few thou
sand hare been bought by Southerners ut 81
gross. aud some br drovers at e to so gross.
The Shelbyville packers are paying $3.50 net at
the pens, dedncting 20 per cent. We have not
at these prices. There will be great glut Of
hogs here for the next three weeks, and We
t!tai We can then buy a few to keep the place
greasy, but do not now expect to do more. Ten
nessee will huve fu1l as many hogs as last year,
but they may not be- quite as heavy, aud they
much less number will be slaughtered iu tl1f
packing houses, but more BY the farmers, and
more will be shipped to the South than last
year. This Strengthening By the farmers tells
bad for the trade, as they keep the prices down
until their stock is exhausted. But you may
rely on it that Tennessee has full rs many Or
more hogs for market than last year, mud they
will not be in as good hands.
Weather too warm for operations for week
past until this morning. when it is turning cold.
fFrom The PttsbusE Gazette. aob.1
Hogs firm weather continues favorable, and
slaughteriug is going On actively; sales Of 800
head ut 4ac, gross.
[From the Toronto Globe. soth.]
Pork isin very active request Mt better prices,
s5.75@G.00 being paid freely yesterday for good
hogs. In other articles there was no change to
| notice.
From the Petersburg (n!.) Ais, ssth.l
THIS week, oar LEGAL market for fa.tened hogs
has improved rapidly. un Monday $3.50 gross

lareer business than at any previous seusou,

rely upon receiving rs high prices ut Talmyra

have gained q wide reputation, and are used in
the large hotels in the East in preference to any
other- Presbury, Sykes / Co., Of the Girard

rior character. Persons hard up for cash can

lFrotn the Cincinnati Gazette Nov SOL
Under the influence Of light receipts Of hogs,
| the market has been much excited since the d1te
| Of our last weekly report, aud IN advance has
! been established Of Soc per 100 lbs, closing ut
| 6.l0G6.3o-6.e5 the leading figure for 20V lb
| Averages. There we're occasional sigus Of weak
| ness luis afternoon, but receipts being meagre
| and several operators having worked them
sclve into the notion Of short crop, We could
not see any indication Of m immediate decline,
though ne hare no doubt with large supplies
say 10000 head per day-the aspect Of the
trade would change materially. There is now
= a sweeping excitement in The market for
| everything before it, and parties who under
take to keep in the current are carried ahead
| by the apparently mysterious influences that
control the trade. Several houses dropped out
| when prices touched t5, and are holding buck, ,
awaiting the developments Of the next two
| weeks, within which time it is supposed sup.
plies will be more liberal. 4 large number Of
] hogs, and still greater amount Of products
hare been sold short, the deliveries of the lat
ter being chiefly for January and February,
and thus powerful "bull' support is being
secured. Allthls is working yery ~eli forfarG-
fully $e per head more than they had any
reason to expect. This Of course stimulates
feeders, who are giEing extra attention to their
stock making them as fat as possible. Corn
cannot be more prodtahly disposed OF than by
putting into hogs. It will prove paying busi-
ness, even If present prices should not be sus-
tained The Increment will also increase the
crop, and thus larger amount of money II i'll
| be disbursed iu the interior than was antici-
p2tcd. We suppose that it is safe to say that
| the SOC added OIL to prices the past week will
add zoo. 900 hogs to the crop. Farmers will not
| Putup manE for their own use while they can
| sell them ut from &12 to $14 per head. The
| pork operators, therefore, whatever may be in
/ atorc for their OWL poekets arc doing splendid
business for the West There is danger, how
| escE. that Eastern operators will not take bold
freely at present figures, and that Western cap
| Our currency IL now very nearly Us high as New
York prices, and thelatter market has but little
/ buoya yancy compared with ours.
| The receipts for the past week were q, ,065
head, and for the season S., ,264. The following
| comparative exhibit is from the Price Current: !:
