THE PORK QUEsTIoN-PnIladelp No
vember H. 1SG6.-To Editors OF the Phladel-
phia Evening Telegraph:-I notice by to-day's
issue of your paper, market report for pro-
visions I'm the shape of an editorial upon your
iourth pagee), in which you represent mess pork
to have fallen from S36 10 S24 per barrel, and
lard from l94 to 144 cents per pound within the
past few weeks, and hams from l9t to l54 cents
per pound, and other meats proporti 5nately
low, etc. Now, this is evidently mistake, and
should be corrected as it certainly will nave ITS
effect upon country buy ers unless it is. Mess
pork IS worth to-day, and will bring in this
market, $2S to $2S'50 per barre, and know there
are no lots offered upon the market at these
figures, and all the lard In the market is held at
prices above your quotations. As far as hans
are concerned, the very commonest in the
market that are sound, will bring II cents, aud
nobody Is Offering hams at lower figure many
being held as high as 22ito 224 cents HOPING.
in justice to the merchants of our CITY, YOU vii
correct the error that your reporter is nm.
doubtedly laboring under, am,
Respectfully yours, etc.
