one OF the most elegant and successful entertain

the reasons found in the plethOr, of pork
now offered. the severe cold OF Tuesday, and the
heavy sleety rain Of 20 day all combining to
make the butchers shy of the market and very
"bearish' on prices.

hard appearance, aud buyers took advantage OF
this getting unusually large estimates of weights
Yesterday the sales made at about the
rates of last week. but to-day the causes above
mentioned affected decline of fully 35c per cwt
We think the quality OF the offerings this week
hardly equal to that of the stock in the yards a
week ago. and the market closes with very dull
sales. prices tending downward, and not all sold
atthe decline.
In addition to those reported in our table there
