Pork Packing Prospects

The Louisville Union Press of the 30th says : As regards the pork-packing prospecta, and tbe opening prices of hogs for slaughter, we have no definite information, beyond the fact that packers and buyers are not in the market. Their views are widely varied from thoso of farmers and drovers, who are anticipating high prices from the fact that pork and bacon are novv runniüg high, and on the presumption that the " hog erop" will be short. To meet this, the packers contend that tho deinand for several years has been most exclusively for army contracta, the sales last season in this market for that purpose far exceeding $1,500,000, with ouly a mere nominal demand for plantation supply. Now the rmy dernand will only be nominal, and the aupply oí hogs in the South is fair, and the prospectivo demand light. Corn is abundant throughout the whole country, and the mast in Kentucky, Indiana and other places is far more abundant than for yenrs, particiilarly beoch and oak. Th is alono will fatten the hogs for January. The erop of hogs is light, but j the increase in weight will be considerable, and we quote tho nominal rate at $8u9, groas. JP3T" Isaac Newton, Coramissioner of Agriculture, in his report for üctober, ays that the thrashing of the wheat has shown that the injuries from tho wet woather wero over-estimated in the report for August.

The inerease in the oat erop in 18G5 is nearly 50,000,000 bushels, aud of tlie hav erop more than 5,000,000 tons. Tho " tubles exhibit the fall crops as most abundaut. That of eoru is all that we could desire. It will bo the largost ever grown in the United States, bo that plenty of cereal food will bleg the country and the labors of the farmer. The oora erop s cqually good in the Southern States, and as planting thero is so mueh greater than ordiuary, that wection eau eonsuine only a portion of thé arnouut grown. - - Look out for onu dollar greeabacks Uangt-d to leut'.
