canbe had by the 100 and 500 bbls at 25c, but good
plantation is 36@36c-reboiled 2OG33c. The
stock is larger in proportion than that of sugars
Rice Is in small supply; probably not IS ties could
be had in the city. II sells in small way at

about 5000 barrels. Receipts of the week ending
last evening 81 barrels. The stock of Bacon and
Bulk Meats in this market is about eight million
pounds, and Is held P incipally by three packers.
Outsiders have 40 stocks of moment An active
consumptive demand exists for Bacon. The stock
of.Lard is light, about 500 tierces and 6OcO kg,
