Remarks. -The only material change we note, is a slight ad 
vance in flour , which will probably be sustained through the win¬ 
ter; and a decline in provisions. Wool is rather firm. We sub¬ 
join remarks from an English paper on our provisions abroad. 
Liverpool and American Provision Market, Nov. 2. 
Cheese —In this article we are improving in prices, and good is 
freely taken at an advance of 3s to 4s per cwt. Our stock contin¬ 
ues small, and is all expected to be taken off at the public sale 8th 
iust., where we think 55s or 56s will be obtained for very prime 
lots. Beef —This article still moves very heavily, and may be 
said to be quite out of favor with the public, arising no doubt, from 
the old cause of bad curing and packing. Only 800 barrels have 
been taken since the 8th ult., for consumption. Fine Canada com¬ 
mands 45s per barrel, while the best U. States will not bring over 
38s. Pork —Since our last we have had considerable sales of this 
article at improved rates, for the very best, which is decidedly get¬ 
ting into favor. Since the 8th ult., when the duty came down to 
8s per cwt., there have been taken 3300 barrels for consumption, 
and about 690 barrels for export. Choice parcels are freely taken 
at 44s to 48s per barrel, duty paid, and one lot of very prime Unit¬ 
ed States has commanded 54s duty paid. Hams —Very piime are 
still in demand, and 54s per cwt. has been obtained. The demand 
for Wet Hams is very moderate, arising doubtless, from the very 
bad manner in which they are cut and cured. Lard —The de¬ 
mand for this article is still increasing. For very fine, 33s might be 
obtained and the Tallow Chandlers are now seeking the middling 
and inferior “sorts at 35s, and will pay more. 
New York Cattle Market—Nov. 21. 
At Market, 1300 head of fresh cattle; 40 cows and calves, and 
2500 sheep and lambs. Prices— Beef Cattle were dull, and prices 
ranged full 25 cents per cwt. lower than last week, and we give 
$3 50 a $5 25 as the range at present; 275 left over. Cows and 
Calves—All at market but 8 sold at from $25 a $38. Sheep and 
Lambs—All at market sold at from $1 to $225 for lambs, and $1 25 
to $4 25 for sheep.

Ft H- HENDRICKSON, 
MIDDLETOWN, BUTLER COUNTY, OHIO, 
Is now prepared to fill orders for thorough bred Berkshire Pigs, 
from the late imported boars Windsor Castle and Earl Craven, and 
twenty choice sows purchased of A. B. Allen, a part of his recent 
importation. Pigs in pairs from this superior stock will be furnished 
substantially caged and delivered on the canal at Middletown, or on 
board steamboat at Cincinnati, from $30 to $50, according to age 
and quality. Orders'accompanied with cash, will always secure 
the preference. 
ALSO—Pigs bred from the superb boar Kenilworth, of a stock of 
the largest and finest kinds of white hogs in England, also imported 
by Mr. Allen last October, crossed on the splendid large white Mi¬ 
ami hogs of this country. The Miamis have been long noted for 
their large sizes. Animals of this breed have occasionally come 
up to the enormous weights of 1200 and 1400 lbs,, and it is believed 
that the cross of Kenilworth on them, will easily attain the weights 
of 700 to 1000 lbs. at 18 mouths and two years old, if well fatted. 
Pigs of this cross $25 per pair, caged and delivered as above. Refer 
to the edito rs of this paper. ____
