We clip the following item from the Cincinnati
Gazette Of Nov. 1lth:
One packer paid out $4,000 to-day for 1900
hogs In former times fifteen to twenty thousand
would have settled the bill. At the prices now
prevailing for hogs, it would take $4,000, 600 to
handle the number expeeted to be ont At this place
while in specie times 81, 100000 would have been
sufficient. Thus, large as the volume Of the cur
rency is, it is not large enough TO handle the hog
crop conveniently upon the present level. In view
Of these facts, it is not surprising that bankers
should be strengthening themselves in the line OF
currency, in anticipation of the wants of pork
packers.
