Sea whale on private terms, supposed at about 63c., and

article at very full prices ; 14,600 galls. are noted, sold at

at full prices; 300 bbls. in bulk, on the spot, were sold at
11c.; COO bbls. deliverable next week at 11c. ; and 2,500
in shipping order, seller's option the balance of the month,
at 161 c. For bonded there is little or no change to note;
the t:•ansactions to-day are unimportant; we quote at 2t:
to 25c. for standard white. For Philadelphia delivery wet
have no sales to report.

Pnovisroxs.—Pork.—The market is very quiet, but
prices aro steadily held. We notice sales of 500 bbls at
$22.50 to $22.62 for western moss, cash and regular way,
closing at $22.50 cash ; $21.50 for '66 to '67 mess ; $l7 to

at $21.37 to $21.62} ; new mess at $22.50 to 22.75 ; ditto
for March delivery at $22.75 to 23, and ditto for April at
22.87 to 23.12}.
Beef.—There is a fair call at former figures. Sales were
made of 395 bbls at $ll to $l2 for plain western mess,
and $lB to $22 for extra do.

Tierce Beef.—There is a good business doing at steadily
held rates. We notice sales of 950 tcs, at $31,75 to
$34,75 for prime moss, and $37,00 to $40,00 for India
mess.

Beef Hams—Are in moderate r,quest, at about former
figures. We notice sales of 214 bbls. at $2B-to $32.
Bacon Sides.—The market is firm, but not very active.
The sales are 430 boxes at 101 to 10p. for Cumberland
cut; 11P. for short rib; 131 to 13itc. for short clear, and

dry salt; 13 to 131 c. for do. in sweet pickle ; 81 to 9tc. for
shoulders in dry salt ; and 8 to 84c. for do. in sweet
pickle.

Butter.—There is an active demand for the good to
fancy grades, and as the offerings are small full prices are
maintained. The medium grades feel this improvement
c3nsiderably ; sales are making freely, and satisfactory
rates are obtained ; the common grades are steady, bat
quiet. The receipts of Canada butter are liberal, but aro
mainly of inferior quality, and will not sell readily. We
quote State, in Welch tubs, at 40c. to 50c. ; do., in firkins
and half firkins, at 48c. to 50c., with occasional lots of
fancy at 52c., and Canada at 25c. to 35c.

Cheese.—We do not learn of any derided change in the
market since yesterday. The advance in gold in addition
to the willingness of holders to sell renders it easy for
shippers to fill orders. The majority of the expo' tors are,
however, unwilling to purchase unless at very low prices.
Lard—The market is more active. Prices, though not
quotably different, are not so firmly hold. Sales were
made of 1,470 tcs. and bbls. at 131 to 14}c. for N. to kettle
rendered city ; 131 to 141 c. for 1 western ;14;c. for steam
rendered and kettle dried do., and 141 to lac. for kettle
rendered do.
