ne weather Is now, ami has been the last few
days. otsuch Character that feeding hogs 10 ad
vantage Is out of the question, and therefore all
still IN the hands of feeders, must be brought to
market at once and the anxiety 20 sell for future
delivery displayed the lasttwo or three days ndi-
Gates pretty clearly that the receipts will be quite
liberal the next ten DAYS, and j 200 brls sold last
evening at 80 1909 %
There has been a good demand for the hog
product; Tor mess pork from SPECTATORS: for lard
from New York, and from Liverpool ana for bulk
sides, from the English and Irish packers, who
have bought them very freely, for shipment to
Liverpool.
The sales for mess pork add up 600 brs at
80 - al 40, the prevailing rates being 50 .
az 81 but this demand fell off at the close IN
der the advices from New York where it has de
cned 10 $40 %, and the impossbity of making
shipments there.
The sales OF lard add up for the week 5000
tierces and bbls. At 60 &c for tierce and 61s for
brl. In the first part of the week il was held
pretty generally Ia above these rates but towards
the close il was freely offered at the quota
tons, and good country rendered was offered at
6lsc.
Head and gut is selling at &c, though choice
lot of gut sold at Ga on Monday
Brown grease NAV be quoted at 4lsd434c;
yellow at $685. and white 51495l &c.
The sales of bulk sides add up 800 900 lbs at
37s@4lsc, chiefly 4c, the market closing at 4c,
with less demand
Shoulders and hams in bulk have been offered
quite freely at 2l5@23.c for the one and 334c
for the other. but met with little or demand.
A fair demand for green meats existed until
yesterday at p &C for shoulders; 3lsc for hams,
and 358 G63334 for sides; but the market became
dull Yesterday and hams would not bring over 81 /
@35sc, and sides 315@35sc.
The feeling in the market, last evening, for all
articles was decidedly heavy, and the tendency OF
prices downwards
The business done in -four has been light. and
in the absence of shipping facilities the market
has ruled dull and heavy, and prices lower. Su-
perfne S464 %; extra 81 05@4 Is, and family
81 20@4 %.
Wheat firm at 60@s5c for red and S9@gOc for
white
Corn in better demand owing to the increased
demand for whisky, and though it declined to
DC last week it advanced again 10 2oc, closing
firm. fttf.
Oats declined to Die, but is in good demand at
the decline
Rye is scarce and advanced to 40 and SOC. clio
sing buoyant.
Barley unchanged and dull at 43 and Soc
An active speculative demand for whisky, and
prices advanced to l5c, closing buoyant. the sup
ply being wholly inadequate TO the demand. This
speculative movement is caused by the strong
probability that tax will be placed on ali distl-
ed spirits by Congress.
Cloverseed is very dull and not saleable at
over - % at the close. No demand for timothy,
and prices nominal. Flax in good demand at
81 %
Green apples in large supply and dull at 81 80
0t3 per brl. A moderate demand for dried fruit,
and the market steady at 505l1 for apples, and
7(doc for peaches. A large quantity of both has
been bought on speculation, thrOug hout the West,
and is held in anticipation of higher prices in the
spring. aud though the stock here is larger than
it last year, the great bulk of it is not the
market at present. Potatoes are higher, with a
fair demand
The demand for the leading articles in the
grocery market has been fair, and the market has
ruled steady and firm; holders generally look
with confidence to higher prices, and have given
up all hope of obtaining any sugar or molasses
from the South, until long after all the louisiana
crop of both now on hand is used up, at least and
NAV add that, suppose it is spring before any
be obtained from there will not the great bulk
of the crop have gone INTO consumption in the
Southern States before that timer This is an
important question for consideration, hold.
1t is quite probable that the duty on foreign
sugar, molasses and Coffee will be increased
further. and this stffens the feelings of holders
As regards coffee, all aspects of the future are
in favor of higher prices, and the same, but not
to such an extent, NAV be said of sugar and mo-
lasseS, because there is this difference: In case
the Mississippi is opened there will be an enor-
nous demand for coffee, which must be supplied
from the stock at the North, but this would not
be the case regards the other two articles, but
probably the rev erse.
Tea and spices are all up again. and prices ir-
regular In New York tea is held out of the
market. Green teas are now selling at 9Oc 10
81 - here The advance in spices is % to so
per cent.
