pork season has opened with much more
vigor than in former years. The receipts
OF live hogs at Chicago. during four days
last week foot up larger number
than ever before received there in the

on Tuesday were 4l,Oo9-the largest
number eve marketed in the United

There is speculation as to the probable
length of the season. Some Of the pack.

not last more than thirty avs, while
others are Of opinion th at it will certainly
extend to the LIST Of January.

g0MpLApfrs FROM H W Esr.-The

rJMpLAnfrs FROM THE Wssr.-The fin
anciai circles are not confined To the
East aud by the great commercial cen
tres. Those who buy flour and meat at
New york prices very naturally think
that the agricultural communities mus.
be in the high tide of prosperity. Il is
not at all g. The community is one
body, and wien one member sinlf fers the
others feel it. Complaints come thick
and fast from Illinois, Iowa and other
sections of the Northwest. There is
universal distrust and univeral stagnation
in trade. The farmers and mechanics
buy nothing of the country merchants j;
the country merchants consequently can.
not pay the st. Louis and Chicago whole
salers and these latter fail to meet their
obligations to the New York iobbers.-
Money is not to be had. No one dares
to venture iatc any manufacturing or
commercial enterprise, because of the
uncertainty of the financial future. No
business, ho"ever well planned and vel!
managed, can be safe 50 long as this un-
certainty continues. D%istrust is the NOR
tai foe o enterprise, aud distrust can
on,y be .emoved by the adoption of some
fixed 6rancial policy by Congress-. Even
a poor policy would be preferable to un-
certainty. Business men would, at least.
have some basis on which to make their
calculations, and not 20 be at sea as they
now are.-N. Z. Enpress.

The present week has been Of excite,
ment, ID our usually quiet city OF Baton
Rouge. The Fair, far which ample pro
vision was made, proved a complete sue
cess, 50 far as general interest was con
cerned, aud the desire Of the exhibitors
to explaia their several articles to admir-
ing throngs Of citizens. The attendance
was far better than wo had a right to
expect, considering the many drawbacks
TO which we were subjected IN delaying
the time Of exhibition, the tateness 81
the healthy season. and the condition Of
the river which prevented the arrival OF
agricultural and other machinery from
the North and West, as promised N 4
large number of letters to the Fair Asso-
citation. Yet we have reason to feel
proud Of the Fair, and have every con
viction that the next will be still! better
attended, when we may assuredly hope
that circumstances will be more propi-
tious'
1t is impossible in this Issue of our
paper, owing to the crowded condition
Of our columns, to give even a faint de-
scription Of the articles exhibited on the
occasion. The presence Of Christmas,
together with the usual indulgence Al
such times, caused our Office to Be
deserted the greater part OF the week,
heEee the ~impossibility Of doing justice
TO our first attempt at a Fair siuce the
closing of the war. At the first s"gges-
ton of the enterprise, difficulties enough
presented themselves to deter the most
energetic and sangulne from further par
ticipation 10 the matter, the greatest oil
which was the apathy Of those, who, per
haps, would reap the greatest benefits
from it. But a little suggestion here-a
little assistance there, aud the spirit of a
lew who were Determined TO have a Fair,
success or no success, finally carried the
point, aud now all are satisfied with the
results. We did Dot expect TO cope witt
the New Orleans Fair, nor did we expect
as large and varied exhibition. but We de.
sired such articles shown as would be Of
most honaGt IA f.rn,are orl otbar, In tha
present condition oflabor. 4 slight rise d
the river would have added a hundred
fold interest to the Fair, could the ma
chinery and agricultural implements nov

hasty sketch, we conclude, leaving, as
previously stated, an extended notice tt
