Cincinnati Markets.

There has been good deal ofirreguiaritv
in the provision market, and prices to some
extent nominal There has been good de-
mand for lard, and nc was paid on the spot,
and &c for future delivery, for 200 tierces.
Mess pork has been in demand at 50 80 for
the first half of December delivery, but there
are few. disposed to enter into contracts.--
Based upon an advertisement of the Com
missary DEPARTMENT of ST, Louis for mil
lion and half pounds OF bacon, To he de-
livered the next five weeks, an active DE-.
mand arose for bacon the last two DAYS o.
the week, and 800 bids. sold Monday and
Yesterday, at &c Cor rib sides, ard sc for
clear do. Shoulders can be bousht at 3sc,
and sugar cured hams at the low price of &c.
Nothing done in blk meats. There has
been fair, demand for green meats, and
about 10000 pieces sold at 2Cb pc for Shout
ders, sc for siles, and S504c f,r hams, the
market closing rather duh lnder The news
from New York, reporting decline Of one
dollar bd in mess pork yesterday qno'ing
it at So 50@gl3 80.
The weather has been good for pork pack
ing, hut prices do not come up to the views
Of feeders, and the receipts have been light.
We understand the prices now current in
New York are equal to So so not here, and
hence drovers are shipping to that market
rather than sell here. Dressed hogs were
selling in New York all the week at sc per
ID, but closed dull but that market will
soon be over stocked and prices decline, and
hence MI things will find their level Great
efforts are being made at Chicago TO create
an impression that the best prices will be
paid for hogs to drovers, at that point, and
yet at the same time we notice that they
are advising dealers that il is there the cheap
est pork is TO be had. This seems somewha,
contradictory, but we suppose it can be sat
isfactorily explained by personal application
Chicago is great place for recohciling par
adoxes. There is no doubt that lary,
number Of hogs, which would have beer
packed on the Upper Mississippi. under or
binary ciscum stances, will be sent to tn,
packing points on the Lakes this season
and there is no doubt that Chicago will hav,
as much as her packers can furnish room
and cooperage to take care Of but that she
will interfere with or diminish the packin:
at this place, as is intimated, is simply ou
Of the question. and we should not he sur
prised to see the packing run up here, this
season, to over half a million head, becaus,
the number Of hogs in the section of country
tributary to this city and Louisville, this
season, is not less than one million head
and as Louisville packers do not intend do
ing much. II II pretty certain that Cine n.
natl will get more than her proportion o.
them. There was brisk demand from
those having contrncts 10 fill Monday and
yesterday, at So 25@3 81, but the news o.
the large decline Of mess pork in New York
alrca " alluded to-, caused the market t.
close tame. The receipts win be heavy the
next few days. and packing will be general
