PROVISIONS : The sales of beek for the week are again
over the average extent, and the tone of the market is more
assured, partly in coneeqtynce of the continued accounts of
short packing, but it is difficult to convince the trade on
this point, seeing that the arrivals exceed those of last year.
The market for pork, owing to the want of supply, is
tolerably steady, but with increased arrivals, lower rates
must be anticipatdd. Bacon is well cleared off at Last
week's prices, and the quality of this year's cure continues
to give great satisfaction. Thereis a fair consumptive
demand for lard, and the week's sales reach nearly 100 tons,
chiefly at easier prices. Cheese, since the auction, has
remained quiet; prices steady. Tallow, though far from
active, maintains late quotations.

fined to retail sales of Pots at 39s per cwt, and a small lot of
