Remarks.—Ashes, since the late news from Europe, have been in good request.Candles, especially those made of stearic, are brisk.Cotton. The day after the arrival of the Caledonia with advices of a fall in England, this article receded nearly ¼ of a cent per lb.; but a brisk demand springing up for export, it has recovered, and is about the same now as before the reception of the late news. We hear nothing particularly new from the south regarding the picking, the weather upon the whole supposed to be more favorable. Export from the United States since 1st September last, 62,450 bales; same time last year, 113,301; same time year before, 99,904.Flour. The continued navigation on the canals, has brought us an unprecedented supply, and a large quantity has gone into store; a good business, however, continues to be done in it. The total arrivals this season have been 1,440,000 brls.Rye-flouris dull.Buckwheat, very scarce and advancing.Cornmeal, dull.Wheatis in good demand, and prices stiff.Rye, declining.Barley,Oats, andCorn, in fair demand.Hemp, dull.Hops, improving.Molasses, not much inquired for.BeefandPork, quiet, and little doing at present in them.Lard, much wanted.Hogs. Extreme rates now in Cincinnati are from $2.25 to $2.75; we are free to repeat, however, that we believe the first quality of hogs will be worth $3 by Christmas.Rice, of the better qualities, scarce.Seeds, especially Timothy, in good request.Sugar, quite inactive.Tobacco, fine Kentucky, scarce and wanted; stems, none in market.Woolseems to have taken a fresh start again, and prices have an upward tendency.
Stocks. A large business continues to be done in these, and they are still gradually advancing.
Moneyplenty, and seeking investment at the usual low rates.
Real Estateseems at last to have come into demand, and considerable sales in this species of property have recently taken place at good prices. It must henceforth advance. Our population and wealth have increased in an unprecedented ratio within the past four years, and there is no reason why real estate should remain at its late low prices, and transactions in it any longer stagnant.
Business generally, the past season, has been extremely good; and we do not hesitate to say, few years can show a greater amount of substantial profits. We consider the days of darkness as passed, and we may now look forward to the future with the brightest anticipations.
Packing Pork.—On this subject we quote from the Cincinnati Chronicle of 22d November. For the benefit of our distant readers, who may be disposed to send their orders here for pork, we give below the pork-merchant's prices forpackingthis season, based upon 60 cents per bushel for Turk-Island salt, 87½ cents for bbls., 28 cents per bushel for Kenhawa fine salt, and 75 cents to $1.50 per day, for laborers. For receiving, weighing, and cutting the hogs, a block-fee of 5 cents each.
For packing per bbl., including all charges, $1.60a$1.75. For salting 100 lbs. in bulk, including saltpetre for the joints, $1.62a$1.75. Smoking per 1.000 lbs., including washing, $1.25. Rendering lard, 37a50 cents per 100 lbs., which does not include the price of the keg or barrel—2 to 5 cents is also charged on each keg or barrel, for nailing the hoops, boring, weighing, and marking. The cooperage is charged at cost.
