There has been dull market for the hog pro-
duct, and the demand local. and chiefly specua-
tive. The amount going forward is extremely
light, and the great bulk of the seasons cure, so
far, is still in the city. The demand has been
confined chiefly to lard. and mess pork, other ar
tcles being neglected, not enough doing to estab-
lsh quotations.
Flour has advanced l5c per barrel.
Wheat has not changed much
Corn dull.
Rye and barley firm.
Whisky advanced to s5c. but although this
was the price yesterday, after Change. sales
could not have been made to any extent at s3c
The market closed fiat. The logic Il manner in
which to manage this project of taxing whisky,
would be this: If the Government has the pow
er to prohibit distlation until.next May, in every
one of the States, and make the tax on il one
dollar a gallon. This tax business is TO be a
permanent thing with us for years. and now is the
time to settle the rate and the policy defntIy.
Constant changes of the rates and the basis of
taxation, will greatly injure and unsettle trade,
and wise statesmen will avoid it. All know and
admit that whisky will bear one dollar as we'll as
one cent SO will tobacco bear a high tax, and
there are many other articles which ought to be
taxed largely, and many things not at all which
are now taxed Sugar is &c. lower, coffee and
molasses unchanged.

Financial and Commercial Summary
for the Past week.

Financial and Commercial Summary
for the Past week.
The great event of the week has been the pro
mitigation Of the Presidents message and accom-
panyng documents The report OF the Secretary
Of the Treasury has been looked for with great
interest: but when il was made public it had
hardly any perceptbe influence on financial mat
tiers. The report, instead OF foreshadowing any
great project in the finances of the Government,
simply states that the Secretary will patiently
abide the logic Of events, and borrow money to
meet the future wants Of the Government, in
stead of resorting to the issue of any more legal
tender currency, though intimates that II this
cannot be done, means will have to be resorted to
to meet the financial exigency of the hour. He
wisely avoids abiding to how he intends using
the unexhausted means Congress placed in his
hands last spring. which has led 10 some disap-
pointment.
The demand for money during the week has
been quite active, but not beyond the means to
meet il, so that there is no Inconvenience expert
enced by the mercantile or manufacturing COM
munity for want Of money. The regular char
tered banks supply their customers at per cent,
and outside 8 TO 10 per cent. is still the range.
Very little paper offering which is not acceptable.
Gold has fuctuated but slightly during the week,
in New York, and closes just one per cent. higher
than it did a week ago. There has been no
change in Government securities. and not much

ury.
We have had, for the past several days, vari-
Gus gvings out of immense frauds discovered at
Washington and Alexandria, upon the Commits
sary and Quartermaster's Departments, in furn-
ishing the Army of the Potomac.
Ii is now said that these frauds will amount to
millions. A number of arrests have been made,
and the number of men implicated must be very
large. We have long been of the opinion that
nearly half of the cost of this war has been to
supply the thefts and robberies daily being prac-
ticed in all parts of the country. Honest men
are denounced as TRAITORS" and ''sympathzers"
by these public thieves, and driven from public
Positions; and if too obtrusive in making even
suggestions of wrong, they are either sent to has
tiles or exiled from their homes By this process
of bounding, these plunderers have been able to
steal to their hearts content
We hope the War Office will take warning
from the past and put these fellows through on
the straightest route Crisis.

The coal boat rise at Pittsburg has been an
event of immense Importance to the entire val
lev of the Ohio and Mississippi, and caused gen.
eral rejoicing. Yesterday at noon there was IL
feet of water in the channel at Pittsburg, and
rising. There has been considerable amount
of rain since our last, with a mild temperature.
Thus far the weather has been unusually mild,
more like fall than winter.
We have to notice continued activity in bust
ness of all kinds, and the entire population are
fully employed. and never has the trade of the
CITY been so prosperous before.
The weather. up to Monday, was quite unfavor-
able for the pork trade, being much too warm for
slaughtering and curing; still packers seemed
willing to assume the responsibility, and general
" managed to dispose of the great bulk of the
offerings. Since Monday the weather quite
favorable-on Monday and yesterday-but the
faith of packers is not strong is necessary TO
give the market that briskness which it would
exhibit did that confidence exist necessary to en-
courage buyers that the position of the trade was
a safe one beyond probable contingency. The
receipts have not been as large as they we're the
previous week. but have been more liberal than
had been expected by large number of those
deeply interested in the trade
Yesterday the demand quite active, and
prices advanced 10000 pound averages selling
at 81 25@7 30 quickly. The sales were:
