The active demand in the fUrepart of the week
induced drcve,s to make purchases in the coun-
try at prices they now cannot realize, and this
was one of the causes of the frmness displayed
by holders yesterday.
In no previous year, probably, has there been
SO much put up for the English market; and
there can be no doubt that the quantity of Amer
lean bacon sent to England and Ireland, the next
six months will exceed anything ever thought of
before; and the same may be said of lard For
the information Of our readers beyond the Ocean,
VIC will say that the quality is vastly superior to
any ever put up in this country before, ewing to
the great abundance of corn fed hogs the last
twelve months. The most is young and solid,
too, as the hogs are all young. Not only are
sides being prepared for the foreign market, but
shoulders and hams so that the supply will not
only be large, but the assortment good.
In The forepart of the week, there was good
demand for mess pork, chiefly speculative, at
$50 on the spot, and So rs for future delivery,
but this demand soon fell off, and toward the
close, there was no demand although it was free
ly offered at $50 on the spot, or for future de-
livery. The demand for Lard has been good,
and but little on the market, prime being sale
