Provisions to-day were very unsettled,
some holders coDtending for an advance,
while others were willing to sell at a de.
cline, and over 200 brls. city-packed mess
Pork sold at $l7, and only go barrels at
SIT 25. We now quote the market excited
and unsettled, at SIT to SIT 25. There is
but little inquiry for bulk Meats, aud Groce-

Bacon on Southern orders continues good, and
fair sales are made at 7Hc. for Shoulders,

New York Stock Market:
There was partial improvement in the
demand for Stocks to. day, aud consequent
recovery of l@lH per cent from the low
sales Of Thursday. In the speculative tenn
per of the street the change can not vet be
called a very marked one, as the freer buy
ing noticed this forenoon was generally as
cribed rather TO the closing up Of short con-
tracts, under the apprehension that the next
news from Charleston might turn the market
against them, than to any very strong con-
victiOn that the present critical issue at Fort
Sumter would result in successful nego-
tatiOn instead of battle. The an xiety was
great throughout the day to hear from that
point, and it was increased by the rumor,
thai while the Southern telegraph was open,
as usual, TO other cities ia that direction, no
dispatches bad come through from Charles
ton.
At the Second Board the market held on
steady at the improvement OF the morning,
the Spectators on either side being indis-
posed to risk heavy business on the uncer-
tainty which rested over the Southern news.
The Federal and State Securities manifested
q good degree of steadiness. The United
States of 1881 sold at 93H per cent, which is
an improvement on yesterdays bid, aud
per cent. more was paid for the per cents
of 1874. Mlssouris closed in demand at 60@
60H per cent, and there Was a diminished
