1--WE would advise farmers if they wish I
lrealize the highest prices for their bacon. I
! be sure, before they start with i. to marke
that it is well smoked and cured; neither nee
they be in great hurry to put it upon th
market, as nothing but that disposition oa thei
part, coupled with the greenness of their meal
has caused the decline reported this week.
The depressed feeling that has characterized
the bacon market, has affected lard to somt
extent. and prices of all qualities are Il q -
lower than at the close of last week. W.
quote prime at l01a @l0Ac, though it re-
quires strictly prime article to command The
