SHoEs.-The trade in these prime articles
ofnecessity has been quoted good for the
last week, though rather lighter than for
the week preyious.sf There is no change in
prices. Some of our leading houses report
collection better for the past week than
heretofore. The stock of this class of
goods is large, and no better market can
be found in the West asyfgTs ngfIaef1
QUEENswARE-Fair sales are reported
for the past week. Our merchants still
persist in making no change in quota
tlons notwithstanding the probability
that Ware will become scarce by reason of
the strike among English operatives. This
resolve on their part must add to the num-
Der of their customers. &c
In addition to the strike of all the
iaborers in the pottery districts of Eng
land, numbering over ten thousand
workmen, the entire pottery dis
tricts of Trenton, New Jersey, are on a
similar strike, having quit work during
last month, and up to the Sd inst, had
done nothing that would indicate COM
promise. Thus the entire manufactures
of the world, both in Europe and America,
are closed. From all accounts, it is evil
dent that they have been preparing for
this season of rest, by accommodating a
large fund out of which they expect to
support themselves and families for
months to come, should their demands
continue to be rejected. There can be no
question about the rapid advance in
Queensware, should the strike continue.
IRON AND HARDwARE.--Our Hardware
Merchants report business rather fair, but
collections are somewhat slow.
In Iron and Tinplate we make no change
in quotations. We quote Bar Iron at SIC;
Sheet Iron, boiled, 814@9c; charcoal ~
9l2c; Tin Plate /. G. l0x14 charcoal sly so

Lippineotts Sl7 80; Simmons sis co. There
is no change in prices in other articles in
this line.
DRUGs.-Tradee in. drugs and medicine
has ruled rather easy, and there has been
a still further decline in some articles,
while most every thing in this line has
a downward tendency. We quote Lard
oil, No. l, 81 81, No. 2, 81 %, a de-
cline of to SC per gallon.
Ltnseed on 81 As, a decline of Sc. Coal Oil,
155c. Soda declined to nc for English, and
lie for American in kegs. Indigo, Madras

PROVISIONS AND PRODUCE.
HOGS = The unfavorable weather last
week ca lsed a suspension of Strengthening
to great extent, and only about 200 hogs
We're killed. The low price at which hogs
rule has induced holders to wait, in hopes
of an Improvement. but with corn at 50@
soc per bushel, we doubt if farmers will
realize any profits by feeding The price
offering here is S6@6 80, as per quality.
Parvin & Akin expect 300 to 500 head this
week from Posey County, and by rail, but
the extreme cold weather now prevailing
will prevent slaughtering until it mod
crates. Ah
