PRovIsIoNs.-Pork is now dull at 8
cts. delivered upon the streets. The WIN
ter is advancing, and has been heretofore
unfaverable for saving. That together
with the high prices, and, we are sorry to
add, the refusal of a portion of our far
mers to sell for anything but specie, has
induced many families to resolve to d.
without, or to stint themselves to the low
est amount of what would support them
at all. Many are picking beef in con
siderable quantities. As the season ad-
vauces the decline is expected to be still
greater. Those who have pork to spare
had perhaps better convert it into bacon
The price of that will doubtless be fair.
