The WESTERN Hoo TRADE.-The Cincin-

Hogs have come to market rather sparingly,
which must be attributed to the fine feeding

TIE demand for the hog product has been fair,
but prices declined, though the price of hogs
advanced The weather has been very tsvora-
bic for curing, and packers inform us that pork
curing more rapidly and perfectly than for
many years.
The Louisville Courier remarks:
'The market is active and frmer, under the
impression that the crop, at least in Kentucky,

meeting the views of drovers more freely. We
hear of sales of 1,8l2 hogs, in lots. to weight
at prices ranging from 25 to 81 SO gross; and
also sale of a selected lot Of extra heavy hogs
