WESTERNS,

HOGs-Today' trade on hogs was a good
deal like yesterdays market, that Is il
opened up a little better, with prospects
for a higher market and then turned out
disappointment. AS was the case yesterday
morning buyers picked out the light loads
paying prices that looked a little higher
but the trade was not active and it was
slow work unloading. After the better loads
were disposed of the market slowed down
and became very dun and weak on heavy
packing hogs. AS a whole the market did
not show much change, the hogs selling in
about the same notches as yesterday.
The hog market has been decidedly I'M
satisfactory this week and still the Cnange
in prices has been very small On Tuesday
and Wednesday the market was quoted
generally &c lower for each day and every
other day OF the week II was slow and
easter In fact dullness has been the chief
feature OF the market for some days back
and still at the close OF the week prices are
on an average, only about lOc lower than
they were at the close OF last week, Heavy
hacking hogs have been the hardest to sell
and have been neglected TO such an extent
on some days that II was almost impossible
for holders TO unload. Late arrivals at the
wards have been especially hard to sell as
The market was closed duh and easier al
most every day and anything arriving late
was almost certain 10 sell lower than the
early market

Coast SURVEY Service.

The United States coast survey service is
gradually disposing of its older vessels as
new ones are built and go into service. A
short time ago the old steamer Bache was
sold for junk, and recently the authorities
of the coast survey service authorized the
sale of the old steamer Blake. The steamer
is now laid up at Baltimore, and she will,
il is stated. be sold at public auction in the
early spring. The Blake was built at Balti-
more in 1874 for the coast survey service,
and is a propeller steamer of 24 tons bur-
den and is 14S.S feet long. She has long
been notable in the annals of American
science, and has been employed in survey
work from Eastport, Me, to the Rio
Grande. She has several times visited this
city, and was last here about four years
ago.
