TIE WEsTERN Hoo Ckop.-The Cincinnati
Price Current of Wednesday says:
There has been an active demand for hogs.
% a,
the future the market for hogs there contin-
ues to be siderable speculation. The gener
al impression is that prices must rule low, but
the difficult point is what may be regarded as
low prices That there is to be a large increase
in the hog crop none pretend to deny, but W hat
prices will be safe matters causing great
perplexity in the minds o. packers. Sales of
hogs have been made at ST. 30 gross delivered
here any time before the middle Of next Jsnu
AIRY, and there are not manly buyers At this rate,
nor are th.re many sellers"

The New York Bulletn says that the general
quiet of the dry goods market has been some
what disturbed during the past seven days by
the breaking OF prices on domestic cottons.,,
The recent decline in the raw mater la, and
the slack demand usual at this period OF the
year, have been the chief causes of this reduc-
ton in quotations.
