The reeeip's and shipments Of COTTON were
very light, indeed; and We heard of NJ
sales, as both buyers and sellers were hold
ing of. till prices are more settled. As 4
consequence Of this, all kinds Of business Is
dull, and the rain yesterday added TO the
general stagsntion.
Wedo not anticipate any msteriai changes
in prices, till the river gets TO boating
stage, when decline will almost certainly
be experienced.

rior grades. There is but little White 70 be
had, and millers handle that which they get
very sparlngly.
The Provision market was rather nerve
less to d.v. Mess Pork sold at S3l for old.

held at SS3. There can, We learn, be had
concessions on the figure named for old.
The figures on Cut Meats remain as they
were, but as to most articles they have no
actual support. Bulk Meats are rated at
I5e, Bulk Sides at I7c, as trading figures,
but they are not freely offered. Bacon
Shoulders have nominal quotation at lie,
Sides at l9c, and Gear Sides at q 1z922c.

IKE for Shoulders, Sides and Hams.
The Hog market was trife finer, though
it is by no means spirited, and much Of
fine weather for curing is being wasted. The
reeeipts, however. are light, and the alb
senee Of employment seems 20 start an Itch
ing in the pains Of some Of the dealers, The
current quotations, late in the day, became
more firm at SlI OOGII 50 gross, ana Sl3 80
ala 90 net, for far averages. Extra heavy
commanded a trifle more.
The Chicago market is thus referred 20
in the circular Of George W. Phillips, T.,
L Co.:
"a want Of animation or buoyaney has
characterized the Provision trade for the
past week. It has not, however, lacked in
terest in some Of the features. The prices
paid for Hogs 70 farmers and spectators in
former years, has been generally regulated
by packers and shippers, based upon the
cur ent worth Of the product, and TO an eK-
tent by the prospects This season, however,
augurs differently. Raisers and holders Of
Hogs, are now IN their tarn, trying to as
sumo the power Of being able 70 make good
their views, as to what the animals shoIll1
be worth. During the close Of lat week.
the accumulation Of Hogs was considerable,
owing 10 packers and shippers holoing of,
being afraid TO risk the high prices asked.
The condition Of the Hogs not likely to inn
prove lying in the pens, holders forced sales
at reduced ngures. This had an immediate
effect on the receipts, trusting, no doubt,
that the light supply would tempt operators
to compete which would run up prices To
some extent this succeeded, as. during the
early part OF the week shippers took hold,
aud prices did improve"
