Concerning the Louisville market the CONNER
! cal article of yesterdays Courier says:
| The market which had been excited and ami.
mated was less active to-day, with downward
| tendency in New York for both breadstufs and
provisions. Holders here. however, were quite
firm for the latter, but were quiet for the former
| and round lots of -four, though still well sus-
| tanned were feebly maintained. In pork there
were no transactions, but bacon was fully up tC
| former rates. with an advance on the chOicel
| quantities of hams.
