Cincinnati, March 13, 1868. The provision market during the week past has ruled quiet. The difference in views as between buyers and sellers has done much to cheek the trade, and the declining tendency of other mar kets has also had an effect of quieting ours, yet holders are pot willing to let any round lots go at offering prices, and the only sales making at any material decline is of odds and ends and jag lots, to cioso out commission or consignments, strong holders preferring to trust to the future, believing that all the stuff will be wanted at lair prices. The market closed decidedly quiet and dull, and in order to make sales, concessions would have to bo made, while if large orders were in the market, there would inevitably be an advance. MBSS PORK—Has ruled quiet,opening $24.50 closing at $24 for city, with but little disposi tion to sell at the latter price. Country sold at $23.50 to-day at a country point. RUMPS—Have been in good demand all the week at sl7 t 0518.50 for fair to choice, and about all to be had at these figures were taken. LARD—Closed to-day in better demand with some buyers at 158. at the close—generally held $ higher ; but little steam offered at $ to }c. less. GREASES—Are scarce and in fair demand at 10} to 13c. for dark to white. BULK MEATS—Arc much enquired for as an investment, and at a shade less than quotations would bo taken freely. They are held at 10, 12, 12}al3c. loose, for shoulders, sides, clear rib and clear sides; hams, 13} to 13}c. loose; sweet pickled hams, 14} to 14$c. green weights. BACON—Is quiet—no orders to buy and but little disposition to sell, except in small lots at quotations. I quote Shoulders, llo; Rib Sides, 13o; Clear Rib, 14o; Clear, 14}e.

The eager speculation which has pervaded all the cotton markets of the country for the past six weeks seems to have paused, and it is now perhaps a fitting moment to calmly examino the position of the staple and the probable course of prices. The consumption of the world is proba bly larger at present than it ever was before ; tho stocks in the great markets are extremely light, and the prospects of receipts in the immediate futuro are as comparatively as small as tho stocks. Either the present rato of consumption must be checked or if it continue there must be ere long an absolute cotton famine; but now a-days, when evory event is discounted, it is idle to think of a coiton famine, so tho other alternative must occur—consumption must bo reduced. To effect this, the price of the raw material must advance to a point whore manufacturers will not sell. If this point were determined, tho whole course of prices would be known, for in ’our opinion, cotton will rise till its dearness stops its consumption. It may be that lOd is the price where consumers cannot go on; if so, wo have seen the highest price of the season, but the indications all favor the belief that Manches ter is taking cotton very nearly as fast at lOd as they did at 7}d, and if this be true, there aro points to be touched this season which have not so far beon reached. All other questions aro secondary “to what price will check consump tion ?” Our receipts are watched with absorbing in terest in England and at home, but if the crop should run up to two and a half millions, in which but few persons pretend to believe, every bale of it will bo needed to allow Great Britain oven a small stock on the first of noxt December, even if consumption bo considerably reduced from present limits. The exports from Bombay were 40,000 bales less than in February, 1868, than for tho same month in 1867, and the very scarcity of vossols will delay tho shipment of the India cotton, granting that it comes to the ports as freely as lutytu, and this seems very doubtful, for the great advance since Bccember last will render it difficult to have the contracts thon made filled by the series of parties through whom the crop passes on its way from tho interior to the sea. All these points should be carefully woigbod, for their influence will be very great for the next ninety days, or until the prospects of our next crop can be guessed at with some preoision. Advices from the South hare undergone an entire change during tho week ; almost every seotion is reported as being pretty woll swept of cotton, hut from every point oomes the encourag ing news of strenuous efforts for another crop. Small farms aro in demand, the negroes working as well as could be wished, and as a rule for about half the wages as of last year. The soareity of moat is tho great drawback to the promise of the crop; but the spirit seems to be to get a big crop started, even if apart has to be abandoned. Present prices will stimulate pro ductions everywhere, yet prices will be governed almost entirely by the amount obtainable by Europe between now and tho marketing of the next erop.

Kalikoh, March 16.—T0-morrow the Con stitution will he read and signed by those of the delegatee who approve it, ead the Con vention will adjourn to meet again at the call of the President. The Convention ordered to-day that the election on the Constitution, and officers under it, shall be held on the twenty first > twenty second and twenty third of April next. *V,. The financial provisions of the new Con stitution, in reference to the State debt, are as follows; First. That the debt shall be inviolate’ and never questioned. Second, That the General Assembly shall provide, by adequate taxation, for the prompt and regular payment of the interest. Third.

SOUTH CAROLINA. Charleston, March 16.—The Conven tion last night passed a liberal Homestead Law. General Canby has issued an order providing for the election on tho ratification of the Constitution; also for Congressmen and State officers, on April 14th, 15th and 10th. Registry lists are also to be re opened, to give such as have not registered an opportunity to do so. Charleston, March IG.—The attempt in the Convention, to day, to remove the disa bility from all persons in the State, failed. An ordinance was incorporated in the Constitution invalidating contracts based on slave property. Also opening public schools and colleges to both races. Washington Items. Washington, March 16. —The Tennessee delegation have no advices of unusual troubles in Tennessee. They think the scope of the Thomas and Grant correspondence is exaggerated, and applies to local trouble* probably connected with the revenue. Gen, Lorenzo Thomas says his pretended friend from New Castle was most probably a Stanton spy. Thomas never saw the man before, whom he auswed playfully that they would kick Stanton out. Private dispatches will be as brief as possible this week to make room for the President’s answer. The following startling item is from a credible source: Stevens’ proposition to amend the Alabama bill by granting suff rage to all male citizens over twenty one years. It creates consternation among the Radicals. the most prominent are endeavoring to induce him not to offer it, but he declares he will to-morrow, if the bill is before the-House. Congressional. Washington, March IG.—Senate—Geor gia Convention asks a loan of SIOO,OOO. South Carolina asks the repeal of the duty on rice. More negroes want assistance to Liberia. Fowler introduced a bill for the survey of the Mississippi river from Cape Girardeau to its mouth for locating levee lines, and ap propriating $250,000. Committee on Commerce reported amend ment to the House Tax Bill; retaining tax on turpentine, sugar refiners, candies and confectionaries. Adjourned. House. —A bill repealing the provision of the judiciary act forbidding appointments until Judges of the Supreme Court are re duced to six. A preamble and sixteen resolutions—a kind of declaration of principles—by Ross of Illinois, who moved the previous question —not seconded. Then, for the purpose of getting at a direct vote, moved to table— defeated, yeas 8, nays 123. The bill relieving certain parties from political disabilities was resumed. Several names were added, including that pf John A. Gilmer, as a reward for having opposed the Lecompton swindle. It transpired, during debate, that the purpose of the bill don’t remove disabilities imposed by the fourteenth article. Beck made a point that, under the Gar land case, the Sup erne Court decided that general amnesty did the work proposed by this bill. Bingham said that the Supreme Court could only decide cases which came before it, but could make no decision which would operate on the House or Senate. This oppo sition was from an unexpected quarter. Without any action, the House adjourned. Supreme Court- Washington, March 14. —The new Geor gia bill was filed by leave of Court, In a case from a Nevada Court, it was decided that a State has no right to levy a capitation tax on passengers. This decision effects the Maryland aud New Jersey taxa tion on railroad passengers. Revenue to day, $580,000. A. H. Stevens visited the President.
