The Commercial says The stock market shows
rather more activity and frmneSs, the result ap-
parently of the growing ease IN money. There
are however, no indications of any clique move
ments, everything of the kind being left over to
next week, when it is generally looked to for ac-
tive speculation. Their last chief movement was
upon New York Central, the purchasers of which
were quite large, in anticipation of a favorable
result of the legislation at Albany relative
to the road. This however, is the old cry, and no
better grounds for confidence apparently than
heretofore. Governments are not affected by the
adverse tone of London advices.
There is a steady demand for Government

bonds continue dull. Bank stocks firm, and are
held out of the market in anticipation of January

orally firm. The money market continues easy.
The demand from stock brokers is quite mOder-
ate, and is largely supplied at six per cent. on
prime collateTalS, seven per cent being an excep-
tiOnal rate. The increased supply of money,
though accompanied with reduced supply of pa

The Hog Market.
LOUISVILLE, Dec. 2:

LOUISVILLE, Dec. -.
The market was decidedly firmer to-day in all
respects both for hogs and the product, with sales
of 900 hogs to packer at gross; also, several
lots taken at 81 5Gq1Ic gross for heavy averages,
or 81 .50@ll. rs net The house of Ricketts, Co.,
Jacksonville, have commenced operations, with
the slaughter to-day of 100.
The total number of hogs killed this season, ex-
elusive of the packing at New Albany. has
packers pens last night making the total receipts
to date &c, $50.
From the Cincinnati Price Current, Dec. q.
The season. on the whole, is most singular one
so far and without precedent In 1866 the re-
ceipt ofhogs had been light in December, and fell
off to two to four hundred day, about the close
of 1856, producing great excitement among short
crop men, but in January they increased rapidly,
and at one time reached 1900 n day, causing
decline of 81 per GENITAL, and general panic Still
that season was not a counterpart of this, for.
will be seen, the packing up to the close of 1855
here and, we may add, elsewhere, far exceeded
the packing done, so far, this season. There is
intense anxiety to know something definite about
nected with the trade, however, and it is this:
Packers at the small er places, who are thoroughly
cOnyersant with the supply, of hogs, are doing
nothing, absolutely nothing but in really short
crop years they are always the first and most
anxious buyers.
1t is useless to give comparisons Of the packing
so far at the various points, because such would
be more calculated TO misead Than otherwise,
for, rs already stated, if the number packed thus
far is the usual proportion of the crop packed to
date in other years. the total crop could not exceed
one million head, yet we know of nothing IN the
aspect of the far to justify lower estimate
than two million.

A. II. II. DAwsoN.--We find in the
Wilmington Dispatch the following compli-
mentary notice of A. III. III. Dawson, who
is not altogether unknown in this commu-
nity. This man delivered lectures in this
and other cities of the South in aid of Ken
lucky soldiers during the war. He was a
blatant secesh" at that time, and Landed
the gallantry and devotion of our soldiers to
the cause Of the South but things have
changed, and Dawson finds it profitable to
tickle the Abalitionists under the fifth rib.
In other words he has struck oil, and he in
tends to make it pay: We have no obiec-
tons to his humbugging the whole Yankee
nation, but we seriously object to his being
put down as Georgian, for he is none of us.
We believe he generally halls from Ken
tucky.-Augustd C5Rstitutionalist.
A RECREANT GEoRGIAN.-The people
of Wilmington doubtless remember the
Hon. (?) A. II. H. Dawson, native of Ken
lucky, but a citizen of Georgia, who made
speeches during the war in behalf of Ken
tuckians in the Confederate army. We
have not forgotten him. He made two
speeches in Fayetteville and in both OF
them he denounced the Yankee, and Landed
the Confederates in the most eloquent man
ner. But what Is he now doing? Why,
making speeches in Boston, in which he is
pandering to Massachusetts prejudice, by
denouncing secession as "the work Of
towards and scoundrels" This man Daw-
son sought Office at the hands of the Con-
federate authorities with degree of energy
and diligence almost unapproachable but
he failed in his schemes at ambition, and he
now goes to Boston and abuses the people
amongst whom he was bred and born, and
who filled his pockets with contributions "a:

The assent Of Queen Victoria to the be-

tine, Of Hostein, is officially promulgated.
The London Morning Pos. SAYS: "The
Princess, who is third daughter of the Queen,
is in her twentieth year, while her future
husband is in his thirty-fourth. He is the
brother ofthe Duke of Augustenhury, whose
claim to the Duchies of Schleswig-H olstein
have Of late given rise TO so much dispute.
The Duke has, however, son, born in 1868,
so that his brother is only heir presumptive
to his rights, whatever they may he. We
understand that il is considered TO be no
slight advantage in this royal match that
the Prince, having neither principally nor
functions which would require his residence
abroad, the future Princes Of Augusienburg
viii be able TO reside in England. and TO
continue TO afford 10 Her Majesty those filial
attentions on which the Queen, like every
