the legitimate purposes of trade, at lo9l2

Yesterdays Louisville Courier says of Pro-
visions there on Monday:
Provisions to-day were quiet, the demand
for mess Pork being very light with sales
of only so brls. city packed at SIT. Buyers
are determined to hold off while holders are
firm, and as they are not disposed to press
sales, there is but little doing. The pros
poets favor large demand, and this, with
the light stock, induces holders to believe
that there will soon be an advance. Country
brands Of mess Pork are held at SIG Is. Bulk
Meats are dull, with nothing doing. Buyers
are contending for decline, and at little
less than our quotations large sales could be
made The demand fer Bacon on Southern
account continues good, and the jobbers are
kept busy in filling their orders. The mar
ket closed firm at TIC. for Shoulders, 912c.
for rib, l014c. for clear rib and 109lc, for
clear Sides. In large lots from packers,
Bacon could be purchased at a small decline
on the above quotations. Lard is frm at
9N@10c.
Mondays New York papers say
Notwithstanding the perilous condition o.
the country and the stagnant state of trade
: : the foreign commerce of this port last week
was unusually active. Both the imports and
exports were in excess of those of the CORE
spending weeks of last year and the year be-
heavy, the principal items being Sugar and
Coffee, Of which two articles about
one million five hundred dollars worth
were entered at this port last week. The
large export consists chiefly of food-Flour,
Wheat, Corn and Provisions-of which we
are shipping enormous quantities to Europe,
without seeming to produce an effect upon
the foreign markets. The Specie movement
continues light, the hopes of those who
looked for revival of Specie shipments to
Europe having been dashed by break down
in the Exchange Market. Most of the Spe-
Gle shipped last week went to Havana.
The following are the comparative Custom
house tables of the trade of the port for the
week and since January l.
