All About Hogs.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 7-BrigLton Pens
Hogs-The receipts during the week
have been heavy and far in excess of the
wants of butchers. Packers have bought
sparingly and the pens this morning. on
the opening OF the market, were full. A
very few were bought by the butchers
but the packers not being able TO realize
& profit at the present price of the hog
products, will not invest their money in
hogs. The prices paid for those sold to-
day were Sl9 rs for 270 pounds average;
but even this price is above the view OF
packers.
Sheep-A large number of "scalawags''
were in to-day, which sold at S3a3 rs per
100 pounds, but the market was dull
Extra sheep sold at S4a4 so per 100
pounds.
Cov1NGTON PENs.-The following is
about All avarage of the prices obtained
during the past week: First quality,
S12 00al2 so per 100 pounds gross; I'd
quality, S11 50a11 rs; Sd quality, SO 90
a1O so. This morning Sl2 90 was offered
for bunch of extra fat hogs, averaging
300 pounds, which was refused. To form
correct idea of the market at the pres
ent writing, monday afternoon) the rea-
der may safely deduct &c per pound from
the foregoing quotations for hogs, and
he will be as near the mark as can be
arrived at About / 900 head of hogs are
left over in the pens, and the market
closes decidedly dull and heavy The
weather during the past week has been
only tolerably fair for hog slaugbtering

900.
Sales of hogs were made to-day at
prices ranging from 50 to Sl2 per 100 lbs;
last Mondays prices ranged from ii 90
to Sl3 per 100 lbs.
The hog market today has been unu-
sually active for Monday This is ow-
ing to the fact that there has been an un-
usual supply. and to the current belief
that the eceipts of the the present week
will be light in consequence Of the low
prices that have ruled. Early last week
hogs were bought in the country on the
strength of the prices then ruling. Those
who hold them will lose if they are COM
PEELED to sell at the rates ruling now
hence they will hold so the buyers rea-
son We think the sales made to-day
show slight improvement over Satur-
days prices for the same grades of hogs.
At least the market may be said to be
firm at our quotations.
