About Hog, &c. In Chicago.

HAwx-EYE.-The Hog trade just now is in q
very interesting condition, interesting mean to
those that bought in the country expecting to
get 1915 net here, and are now able to sell for
s4,l5. Receipts to-day we're not large, still
buyers we're cautious and very reluctantly
yielded to the firm demands Of sellers. Yester.
day $4,lO seemed to be the highest point, but
$4,l5 was reached as an outside figure for choice
lots This afternoon very superior lot Of SUI
folk sold at $40. This very high rate shows
the importance Of farmers paying particular at
tention to getting the best kind Of stock. The
product of all kinds was very firm to-day;
holders refused to sell prime kettle rendered
lard below 81 cents. The theory of short crop
seems to prevail pretty generally, and Southern
Iowa is largely counted on by long crop opera
tors to yet turn out fabulous number Of hogs,
and . story was very current on Change yes
terday, that there were $1,000 hogs detained at
Burlington on account Of running ice in the
Mississippi. 1t is conceded on oil hands that
the season will be short one.
A SALTY eUBJkCC.
A short time ago every body took notion
that salt must 90 up. Bankers ceased to think
of discounts and deposits; didn't care snap
whether gold advanced or declined. Dry goods
men stopped figuring about the probable ad-
vance in calico. Ministers took their scanty
savings, and where it was obsaiuable secured a
quarters salary in advance. And pell NELL they
all rushed to buy salt. Up it went; $500, then
$3.50, and finally 81 90 per barrel was asked,
and to hear these gentlemen talk the iudividual
that didn't believe that salt would soon sell fol

AN OILY SUBJECT.
A fortnight ago IS cents was considered high
for coal oil. Somebody got an idea that the
oil wells would soon run dry, and the price must
advance, and Immediately asked $l,o0-the
next 81, 05 was the current rate, with no sellers
at that, Oil dealers began to write with oily
ink, their morning coffee seemed to have an
oily taste, and their evening hot whisky had a
oily. havor, the whole atmosphere seemed fra.

unbeliever that thought that burning grease
would not soon sell for 81 a gallon Alas for
human calculations--75 cents is now an outside
figure, and some holders would gladly let the
greasy stuff slip at trife lower rate. The
thing did not seem to be confined altogether to
coal oil Linseed oil took start, and conse
ouently Flaxseed followed. Sales Of the latter

ent class Of arms with the foregoing, viz, the
quotas of arms distributed among the several
States under the annual appropriations toward
armingthe whole body Of the militia Of the Union.
Thus he says: 1.-The Southern States received
in 1860 less instead Of more..than the quotas of
arms to which they were entitled By law
This is most strange contrasted with the in
formation given to me last year, and tele.
gram just received from Washington and q

these words and figures: = '-t -. ~. +. -. /,
"Rhode Island, Delaware and Texas had
not drawn at the end Of eighteen sixty (1S6O)
their annual quotas Of arms for that year, and
Massachusetts, Tennessee and kentucky, only
in part; Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Alabama Mississippi, Louisiana, and
Kansas were. by the order of the Secretary of
War, supplied with their quotas for eighteen
sixty one 1851 in advance, and Pennsylva-
MIA and Maryland in part"
This Advance of arms to eight Southern
States is sufficient commentary by itself on
the transfer, about the same time, Of lie, 00D

In respec, to the heavy cannon ordered from
Pittsburg to the Gulf of Mexico; Mr.. Buchan.

that their shipment was countermsnded in
