Remarks.— Ashes, Cotton, Flour, Wheat, Oats, Beef, and Lard, 
have slightly advanced since our last; while Corn Meal, Rye 
Flour, Com, Rye, Flax Seed, Linseed Oil, and Sugar, have slightly 
fallen. Hemp, there is but a light stock of Russia here. Money is 
abundant, and Specie accumulating in our Banks. Good City Pa¬ 
per is readily discounted, and Stocks are firmer; and altogether a 
better feeling with businessmen, although no material changes can 
be announced. At New Orleans, they have a light stock of Lard 
oil hand. At Cincinnati, upwards of 70,000 hogs have been already 
slaughtered ; but notwithstanding this unusually large number, 
pork had slightly advanced and was firmer. Several houses there 
are packing for the English market, and we are of opinion that no 
great surplus of meat will be left on hand after the season is over, 
as has been the case the two past years.
