bales, and exports 420 bales.
PoRK-We have no material change to note in
this article. The demand for the week has been
smaller than heretofore, and was confined entirely
to local or retail trade. Speculation has had but
little effect in producing the advance in prices In
this article previously noticed, but 1t is entirely
attributed to the small amount Of the last crop and
the great decrease of the packing, compared with
the returns for former years Sales have been
made to limited extent at $35@s35 so in retail
lots with no disposition on the part of dealers to
operate except at concessions, which holders are
not willing to make The bulk of the stock is
generally held at high prices, which are expected
to be realized soon. We have heard of no round
lots having been disposed Of but prices close firm,
The weeks receipts include 5716 bbls. and the
exports los bbls.
