The general produce markets to-day ruled quiet
and steady, and We note decline in the prices Of
leading articles. The demand, however, WAS
chiefly By short sellers, and this contributed
largely towards maintaining prices.
Iha Provision market 10 hnly "alck." The
dlsn.tches from New York quoted Ness Pork I.
&2i23 and Lard at 1ec. Here there W1B Z fair In
qu,ry for small lots OF Meas Pork, but buyers and
sellers were generally about 81 oo12.oo apart in
thefr yieWs, and the aales amounted to only 100
barrels cltJ-packed, very good brand, At SaA5o-
which is &c abovs the New York price. The
truth Il, holders are milking no effort to sell, and
orders sent here At present cannot be filed readily
At anything like ruling quotations, except bJ pur-
Ginning Ordinary brsnds, which buyers are not In
cined to touch ut this season OF the ye2c Sellers
hare acnezally made up their mlnds to take either
more OF less for their pork before they
make any movement. Prime Ness Pork

the market nominal, with sellers Of
choice brasds at $1,000, but no buyers. 4 small
lot Of clear Pork eold At $4,000. Sweet Pickled
Hama were quiet and nominal at 16}G17c. Bulk
Meats are neglected. Rough Sides are generally
held at 1bc, and shoulders 1t 13c loose. There
was nothing done in Lard, and We quote It nom
inal at 17i@1sc.
