influence Of The decline In gold, were less active
and prices ruled lower.
The Provision market opened hrmer, and hold
ers were generally asking material advance or
yesterdays prices. The demand, however, was
not 20 keen, and but little improvement took
pl1ce-the late New York dispatch rendering the
higher than the extreme outside price paid
yesterday, but towards the close 1t
was difficult to sell at the opening price.
