active business as yet, but the market generally is firm, and
prices are supported. Sales, 150 tons Scotch pig at 31
dols 500: and small lots, from yard, 32 dolt to 32 dolt 50c,

to arrive, 31c, six months.
PitovlsloNs : The market for mess pork is about 10 cents
better, with an increased demand, mainly for home use. The
receipts are moderate, and holders do not manifest any great
desire -to realise, except at =very full prices. There is no
quoiable change in other descriptions. The supply of beef has
slightly increased, and with an increased desire on the part of
holders to realise, the market is less buoyant, and we reduce
our quotations slightly for some descriptions. Prime
.mess
beef is in moderate request, and the market is steady.

FREIGHTS to Great Britain are easier, with rather more
doing at the decline. In other directions there is no noticeable
change, and we note a good demand for vessels adapted to the
West India trade. To Liverpool the engagements include
125,000 bushels grain—nearly all corn—closing at 6d in bulk,
and 61d in ship's bags ; 1500 to 2000 Ms flour, 2s to 2s 3d,
