OF W esteFn ana Baltimore Bacon mas ruled
dull. Well cured Bacon of moderate size
has generally met With ready sales. Large
sized, badly cat, and unsightly Bacon gener-
ally, has been very difficult of sale. The
Western crop will probably b. good one
this season, and especial care will have to be
taken in order to a successful competition.
We quote Hams 12}a to Is cents; Hog round
II to ll12. 81 T+
LARp.-The same remark as to competition
applies to Lard. At presentit is wanted and
sells readily at 1871 cents for No. l.
Naval SroRGs.-The receipts Of Tar dsr-
ing the last year have not tqnailed other sea-
sons Oar market has been seriously iniu, ed
by the receipts of sach large proportion of
very small Barrels rendering Norfolk Bar
rels generally difficult Of sale in other mar
ke:s. We would earnestly urge those in
teres.ed to increase the SIZE to Guage Bar
rels. The result will b. directly to their in
terest in securing ready sales at increased
prices, ana decidedly improve our market.
Sales at present l. 90 cents 20 200 in fair de
lnand. -s
SLAVES. Ours is well known as one Of the
largest Stave markets ia the Union, and al
though the Timber near navigable streams
leading to Cur port is Diminishing, causing
slight decrease in receipts for the last year,
yet it is believed by the increase per Bail
Road, it will hereafter July equal former
years. The standard CT Norfolk Slaves is
higher in the West Indies and elsewhere than
any other-and they are always sought for
and generally command good prices The
stock at present is light, and prices remune-
rative to those 10 the trade. We quote X.

rious kinds are larger than as. year, and es-
:imateo at 80 Millions. Those of good Quail

upon qualify and appearance. We qaote
