A rumor of absorbing interest to
our community was waited to the ears
of Times commissioner yesterday by
a passing zephyr, to the effect that
negotiations were now pending for the
sale OF Miss Florence Whiteside's in
terest in Lookout Mountain, which
includes the Point and ether very
desirable property adjoining
Il will be remembered that Il
vas announced in the Times fully
ye6r ago, that Miss Whiteside
proposed to make Boston her
future home, and that she would
entertain propositions for the sale
of Lookout. She returned to the city
few weeks since on account Of the
injunction suits regarding the point
only to make q short stay and will re-
turn early this week.
We understand that a Cincinnati
company made a proposition for the
purchase of all her interest on Look
out, and that a prominent firm of thi
city has an interest in this company
also that she has the proposition unde
sdvisement and that an answer is ex
pected in short time.
| In the event the sale takes place
some very extensive improvements ar
contemplated.

The movement in hogs in the West
has been light the past week, packing

ing week, and a gain Of $4,000 over the
corresponding week last year, making
a total of 10000 since March /, the
same as for the corresponding period
last year; the increased weight being
equivalent approximately to 100000
hogs. The recent unsettled condition
OF the provision market has necessis
tated a reduction in values Of hogs,
aud has discouraged shipments; the
Eastern movement also has drawn
more largely on the supplies, and this
would probably have been larger but
for the relative scarcity of good light
qualities, for which a premium is be-
log paid over heavy grades. Prices Of
hogs during the week have held'pretty
steady, and have better tone. The
provision market made a further
break on Thursday, when prices
we're so low that capitalists took
hold freely aud checked the downward
course. Since then there has been a
marked advance, closing unsettled with
