Yesterdays Louisville Courier observes
respecting Mondays Provision market;
There was decidedly better feeling in the
Provision market to-day, and an advance of
25c. per brl. was established in mess Pork,
with fair demand at the advanced price,
the sales reaching 600 brls. city packed mess
at SIT 80, and $50 brls. country packed at
SIT 20. There is but litHe disposition on
the part of holders to sell even at the ad-
varced price, they being convinced that
during the spring prices will rule high. The
demand for Bacon was large to- day, and
over 100 casks were sold at 7N@l0 and lie.
for Shoulders, Rib, and clear Sides.
Owing to the wretched condition of the
Southern railroads, our merchants have been
without their orders, the rails having failed,
and the general impression is, that when the
roads are repaired, large orders will be re-
eeived. The sales made now to go to Co.
lumbus and Montgomery, are shipped by the
way of New Orleans, and those to go to Au-
gusta by Baltimore. Bulk Meats are quiet,
with nothing doing. There is a moderate
demand for Lard at lOc. for brls. and lO15c.
for kegs.
