Provisions AND MARKETs-The Bulletin
notices the arrival of the Alice Vivian from bio.
bile, on Saturday, with 1900 barrels four, con.
signed 10 the Subsistence Committee, aud the
subsequent arrival Of the Empire Parish, from
Shreveport, with large assorted cargo Of pro

presses the hope that these timely arrivals will
be speedily followed by others, until the present
anxiety on the subject Of subsistence shall be
entirely removed The Bulletin remarks:
Unless something is done speedily to supply
the markets with meat, their condition vii! Ie-
lapse into the state prevailing al the beginning
of the present month. Already the butchers ale
asking forty cents Per pound for meat which Or
dinaIlly sslls at six OF eight; and it IS COM
mon thing to have to pay fifty ur seyenty-fys
cents for a small piece Of soup msag, usually
sold for picsyune or a dime.
