the prices, both Of cotton and cotton goods, are
not likely to rule above the present currency.

Provisions. - Slaughtering has fairly
commenced in our city, and recently and
during the week goodly number of swine
were put through" The past day or two
has bsen unfavorable to packing, and has
somewhat restricted operations in this line.
To-day, however, is crisp and cool, and
well adapted to the business. Our friends,
Messrs. Hart & Hensley, will avail them
selves Of the weather, and expect to kill
largely during the next two weeks. Our
farmers Gun rely upon receiving the high
est market price for their surplus hogs, and
should bring them in early. The West
has large stock Of hogs, lit Is asserted by
some that 10000 900 head will be brought
| to the block this season. which, with the
immense corn crop to feed them, has iu-
duced the reasonable belief that prices will
rule considerably below those Of last year
therefore the knowing ones express the
opinion that early sales are necessary to
secure the highest figures. Ourbaeon mar
ket L. quite inactive, though the stocks are
small. Bulk meats will be ready for mar
ket in 4 few days, and smoked meats will
have to give way materially in price, or
be superseded entirely by the dry sailed.
Old lard Is entirely exhausted, and new il
coming in in sufficient quaatitiel to meet
the demand Hama, both clnga5ed and
plain, are in good stock, with but a very
limited demand Oar Southern friends
can b. .upplied with balk meats in a few
days in our market at figures as low as can
be obtained in any Of the Western markets.
The quality Of Tennessee meat is uusur-
passed by any in the country, and our
packers are particular that no sIop or still |
fed hogs shall NH inio their hands. We
