Yesterdays Louisville Courier observes in
regard to Saturdays Provision Market:
The Provision Market to-day was very
quiet, but firm, with only a small demand
for mess Pork, and the sales were limited to
some 20 barrels, at SIT for city-packed mess.
The market closed very firm at these quota
tons. The stock of Pork is now much
reduced, and as the larger portion of the
barrel Meat in the interior of Indiana has
gone forward, we look for q speedy advance
in prices. Bacon is dull, with the exception
of heavy rib Sides, for which there is a very
active demand, so that they are becoming
scarce, and for them the market closed very
firm. We quote from the packers at nc.
clear rib, and 10%c. for clear Sides, all
packed. In filling small Southern orders the
jobbers are selling at an advance of nc. on
the above quotations.
There is nothing doing in bulk Meats. Buy
ers are contending for a decline, but holders
are firm, at 6Ac. for Shoulders, SIC. for
light rib Sides, SIC. for heavy Hams, N
not willing TO meet the market. Prime is
held at 9Hc. for %tierces, and lOc. for kegs.
The total number of Hogs packed around
the Louisville Falls, this season, as 'shown
by the books Of the packers, is 1893, 5l7, av-
eraging 200 pounds net.
1t Chicago, Illinois, this season, the total
number of Hogs packed was 231, 1886 head,
averaging 22O pounds per head. The aver
age weight of Lard was &c pounds per
head.
In Philadelphia, the street. rates for I'M
doubted Short Paper are 7 to 81 per cent,
but second. class names are difficult to place,
at l50l8 per cent. There is an increased
amount of idle Capital on the street, and
no legitimate demand for it. '
The following is the comparative state
ment of the imports of Foreign Dry
Goods at New York for the past week and
since January /:

The Baltimore Money market is a shade
more stringent. Best names, either single
or double, rule at lO@12; second. class single
names at l2@l5; all outside of these rule

to the full extent of their receipts, hence the
amount of frst-class Paper on the street in
this city is quite limited.
Saturdays Herald says of Fridays New
York Monetary matters:
The Money market is rather easier; the
Banks are competing actively with the Di :
count brokers for mercantile Paper, and
some very choice names passed to day at 3
per cent. On call the brokers borrow at o,
| and with good collateral any amount can
be obtained between 5 u 6.
The Foreign Exchange market is more
active; the receipts of Specie from Europe
have improved the demand for Bills, and
Bankers raised their rate to 1861 for sterl-
ing and 5 30 for francs. At these prices the
demand fell off; bat at yesterdays prices
any amount might nave been sold.
The feature of the Stock Market is the
steady appreciation of Government Securi-
ties. The demand for Treasury-notes and
Government Stocks seems to increase daily

by the spectators who bought these Securi'
ties during the period of distTust To-day

for them at the advance. State Stocks were
not so strong to-day; Missourisf fell off A@2st

Bonds continue in request. An advance o
