SO 80 per cwt. net, for November delivery,
aud now holders ask &c 81. For December
delivery, we hear of no Observation-Disclosures
ask So, and purchases could not be made be-
low this rate. The stock Of old Pork and
Bacon in this market is very small, and before
the new comes in, will be entirely exhausted.
This will be the case, it is SUPPOSED, in all
the leading markets; and this consideration,
together with the advices from England by
the last steamer, leads to the conclusion that
high rates will be obtained for all the meat
brought into the market early. Contracts are
being made in Indiana nj &c 80 per ext. net,
for delivery in the latter part of December
and The first Of January, and in Illinois at 50.
