Their Is little change in the markets.
Provisions are gradually declining. at the
prospect Of very large supply of hogs, in
the Northern market. The number slaugh-
tered exceeds all expectations, and now that
there is no great demand, prices must fall.
Producers and spectators are holding on
tightly, but when they become convinced
that thedemsnd VIII not justify the present
prices, there viii Be rush TO sell, but not
til then; and this viii cause a still further
decline, as there are enough meats on hand
to supply all requisitionss prices cannot hold
out. The Louisville Democrat Of yesterday
says Of the markets in that city:

present rates, and hence they refuse 70 pur-
chase.
The war seems to have completely con-
fused producers. They seem forgetful of
the fact that an army Of million of men no
