CINCINNATI, Jan. THE tone and
action Of The general markets ia much bet
ter directed to-day, and buoyant feeling,
evidenced by promiseof greater activity,
encouraged large speculative interest.
Pork is greatly excited, and a large
amount of country meats were included in
the transactions, showing a disposition on
the part of city packers to acquire all the
stock possible. Buyers, option for January
and February, were engaged largely at
4@Bc advance on the current prices. The
export demand is slightly increased by the
continued upward course, but many regular
dealers look unfavorably upon the dispro-
portion Of prices in the scale of values, and
refuse participation in the action. The
Chicago market increased the fever here,
but New York is still below US, and e7inces
no great tendency to respond TO the buy
ers that advanced here Cotton declined
