opinion upon the light receipts, during the
last few days, that the season is nearly clos
! ed. The hogs are certainly nearly all in
from the region of country Immediately
tributary TO this city, and except some come
from Illinois, the receipts the coming week
will be light
There has been an active demand fol
mess pork during the week, chiefly from
New Orleans, and prices have further ad-
yanced, closing at SIT 00017 25. The ex-
ports to New Orleans, during the week
have been 1000 brls, so that when is
added to this the exports from other points
it is safe to say that an ample supply of the
article will be in the market within the
coming ten days. That market is now bare
however, and mess pork sold there last
Monday at $40 So.
There has been a good demand for bulk
meats during the week, and prices rHled
higher. The sales add up 100000 lbs al
64@8Ac for future delivery, and 64@84C
on the spot for shoulders and sides, and 93
@94c for clear sides and yesterday, rib
sides brought SIC. In packages, prices
ruled &c higher.
Bacon has been in demand, but the
quantity ont of smoke has been inadequate
to meet the demand, AMI prices have ad-

sides, and 10a to IOSc for clear sides.
The demand for bulk meats and bacon,
like that for pork, has been chiefly from the
South.
A large business has been done in lard,
partly on English account, and the sales
during the week add up 5000 tierces, clos
ing at 95@l0e for strictly prime city. Keg
is not inquired for; the nominal rate is 104.
Green meats were in good demand all the
week, and prices advanced to SIC for shoul-
ders, &c for sides, for which there was a
good demand, and 7(D7Sc for hams.
The feeling among those engaged in the
trade is one of great confidence, and no or
dinary untoward circumstances will be ca
pable of shaking this confidence, or produe-
ing any serious backsetin prices.
The demand for -four has been quite linn
tied, and the market dull. There has been
no export demand of consequence, and the
local one has been very light. SuPerine
has been offered at 81 so, and low grade
at $4 40, at:times during the week, without
finding buyers. In the regular way, in fill
ing orders, 81 50@,4 60 were paid fer super
fine, $475@5 % for low extra TO extra
family.
Oats declined to 26c and have been dull
at this rate for some days, closing at 27c.-
No important change in other kinds of
grain. ~. .=.....-
A large business has been done in whisky,
the sales reaching 5000 barrels for the
week, chiefly at 1916 This is a low rate
for this article, and the distillers are not
making much, but there is large increase
in the manufacture of it throughout the
West, and we may look for supply during
the spring months, far in excess of the de-
mand, in all the leading markets. New Or
leans is thoroughly gIutted, and it has been
unstable there for some days at I6c per
gallon.
In the Grocery market there is no change;
the demand has been very good during the
week, at steady prices, up to Monday, when
sugar declined under the unfavorable news
from New Orleans, where fully fair has de-
clined to 4ac. The receipts there have been
very large recently, being for the week end
ing last Saturday, IL, 900 hhds. The re-
ceipts of molasses, for the same time, were
1000 bbls A large business has been
done in coffee, at full prices.
Molasscs closes at-29(93Oc, and in fair de-
mand.
By an arrival at New York yesterday,
we have advices to the Sth inst, advising of
an increased, money pressure in England,
and reporting that the Bank of England had
put up the rate of interest to per cent,
which produced general dullness in the
market for breadstuffs, with a decline of Cd
in -four, I'd in wheat and Cd in corn Cot
ton was also dull. The troubles in this
country were beginning to be regarded as
of serious import in England, and are
stated to be the chief cause of the advance
in the rate of interest
