Yesterdays Louisville Courier says Of Sat-
urday's Provision Market:
Owing to the favorable news received from
abroad, and the ease upon the Money Mar
ket, there was stronger feeling in the mar
Ret for Provisions. The demand for mess
Pork was fair, and 1900 brls. were sold at
SIG, but at the close it could not be pur-
chased for less than SIG 30, and in fact. no
larger amount could be bought at that price.
The market closed exceedingly frm and
buoyant, with still an upward tendency.
The amount of Provisions packed here
this season will fall short of last year. and
the prospects for large demand from the
South being favorable, there is no reason
why prices should not rule high. There is a
moderate demand for Bacon to fill Southern
orders, and the sales to-day were fair at nc.
for Shoulders, Sc. for rib, and IO]S@Ilc. for
clear sides, the market closing firm at these
quotations. There was small demand for
bulk Meats, with sales of rib Sides at 72zc.
loose. There is nothing doing in Lard.
The hog packing season has closed, and
there are no Hogs offering except in small
way TO butchers.
Friday Boston Alas-dnd-B Bee remarks:
Money is abundant. The Banks are dis
counting now TO the extent usually asked
for at this season. In the street first class
Paper goes freely at IL to per cent, but
there is little demand at present. 1t is
thought that business would revive again in
a few days, and thus create demand for
Money.
Exchange in Chicago on Saturday was
very fat, and per cent. lower than it had
been, as already mentioned by telegraph,
with sales at l@3 per cent. premium. Cur
rency in fair supply, and active demand. Gold
dull and nominal at 216@3 per cent. pre-
