CHloAeo Hoe AND PRovIsIoy MARKET-
Tuesdag EgeHing, JdRHqTy II This being
New-year, there was nothing on Change,
and but little done in Hogs. The supply in
the yards was good, and a few sales we're
made at $4 55C14 GO. The feeling is rather
weak, and prices have a downward tendency.
The receipts Of dressed Hogs are, large, and
prices are lower. The few sales made were
at 565]<o, dividing on 200 pounds. There
was nothing done in Provisions, except q sale
Of 200 boxes of Cumberland Sides at &C., in
dry salt s b.
we take the following remarks in regard
TO our Hog and Provision market from the
Provision circular of Henry Milward, of yes
terday "The Hog Market was buoyant dur
ing the week, and prices advanced from
81 80 TO 81 So for live, and So 35(95 80 net
for dressed; but to-day, owing 10 heavy re-
ceipts and the serious decline in Eastern
tight Exchange, the market has declined,
and closes dull end nominal at 81 1904 80
gross for live, and $5(15 90 net, dividing on
200 pounds for dressed. The receipts for
last week, and for the corresponding period
in lS58-59, and l959-60, show as follows,
viz; In 1853 dressed 2,497, live 3l54i in

Many persons still entertain the theory of
a short crop in our section, but the present
indications are not favorable to its correct
ness. They shelter themselves under the
plea that, although we have much larger
receipts here, the packing at other points is
going to be much smaller. This would ap-
pear to be correct from present returns, but
reports from those counties assert that the

that the majority are still in the farmers
hands. The present receipts would seem to
verify these rumors. In products there has
not been much movement.
Mess Pork has been selling freely at SIS
(yl5 10, and at the close holders of straight
brands were disposed to demand $l5 80.
Some sales of bulk meats were made at 81

At the close holders were generally asking

Boston DRY-GooDs MARKET.-SdttTddy
29.-The Dry.goods trade the past week
presents no new features of any Importance.
CommissioA-houses and jobbers have had a
very quiet week, and the holiday season
bids fair to be a reality with the trade, so
far as business is concerned. The news
from China, if confirmed by subsequent ad-
| vices must have favorable influence on
| the Drill market, and buyers will probably
| sweep off any accumulation that has taken
| place. Our home trade is likely to be irreg-
! ular and unsettled although many parties
| look hopeful to the West, and believe that
| the demand from that section may make up
| in part for the falling off with the South aud
! South west. The advices from Great Britain
| are favorable for the leading articles Of
| Western produce, and with good export
| demand active movements and compar.
atively high prices for breadstuffs are ex'
! pected to rule for the present.
We hope all reasonable anticipations in
! connection with the Western trade will be
!. realized, but while the political questions ei
the day are so far from settlement il
would be well for all parties not to antici-
pate too much. Heavy standard Sheeting;
| continue to sell in lots as wanted at 9Ac.
with no stocks of any consequence in man.
ufacturers' or iobbers hands, although sup
plies are now beginning to accumulate
Drills are quiet at 8 %c., but we look for ar
detiye market if the peace news with Chint
is confirmed. s"
Prints and Print Cloths are dull. The
production of Prints, it is estimated ha'
fallen off about one-half Cotton Flannels
Denims; Jeans, Stripes and Ticks continue
very quiet. Woolen Goods, generally, arc
quiet, and there is a disposition on the par
| Of manufacturers to curtail the production
| of both Cotton and Woolens for the present
| although on many leading styles Of Cotton
goods the mills are still fully employed
Manufacturers have not opened the spring
styles of goods, but presume they would MOI
hesitate about opening if buyers only made
their appearances. The Clothing trade con
tinues as dull as previously noticed.
BosToN BooT AND SHOE MARKET.-Satur.
day, December 29.-In the Boot and Shot
trade there is no improvement to notice. Al
this time last year few buyers were in the
market from Charleston, Nashville, Louis
| vile, and other parts South and West; bu
ihls yN~r buyers are likely to be scarce for {
month or two at lanst Our principal deal
ers do not look for any trade at present, anC
the business of the week has been confined
to a few purchases the New England trade
With manufacturers the business continue
as quiet as previously noticed.
For California, there is only moderate
inquiry, but the amount of goods going for
ward must be quite equal to the wants o
that market as late advices are. not very en-
couragipg. The Spitfre, from this port TO
San Francisco, had 2, 249 cases; The Romano
Of the Sea, 1923 cases; and from New Yorl
there have been shipments of l42 cases dur
ing the week.
