PROVISIONS AND PRODUCE.
PRovtsIoNs. There is nothing whatever
doing I'm meats, as the stocks are very light
and there is no demand beyond that for
retail home consumption. Our pork mer-
chants are getting ready for packing, but
nothing has been done yet In the way of
active operations. A few contracts have
been made for early delivery at $40 met,
but this price is above the views of packers,
who are looking for lower rates, say SS 90 to
s. so. They contend that there is large
crop of Hogs in the country, and that
abundant and cheap corn will keep the
price down There Is, as usual, quite diff
ference of opiaion between buyers and SELL
lers. Cheese-Is not so firm, aud we quote at
~ to lse for Western Reserve. Butte7-Is
in light stock; there is no jobbing demand,
and the sales are strictly in small way +; il
may he quoted nominal at from rs to 40c
for country; no Western Reserve in mar
ket.
GRAIN WheGt-Is again higher and we
advance the rates to 50 10 for red and 50 80
for white The receipts are quite tight and
decreasing every week. Cort-There Is no

which is selling at 75c. New corn is COM

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-GovernOr Orr,
of South Carolina, recently called ON
General Scott TO dispense the alleged
military organizations of blacks at
Kingstree. The General sent soldiers
for the purpose and found that the
statement was erroneous and based
only on the fears of the planters, who
are accused of attempting to coerce
freedmen to>work for low prices.
They had merely met to discuss the
labor question, and this gave rise to rn-
mors.

San Francisco, Dec 26.-The Liberal
news from Mexico to the 10th inst,
states that Colema was held by the I'M

Liberal army under command of five
Generals. Each was jealous of the
other and would not combine to cap

Lozada is at Tepo, and declares him

The garrison at Acapulco is expected
to leave soon in French vessels, via
Colema, to Guadolajara.
The general opinion is that the unitea
States must support Jaurez or the civil

The Imperial cause looked brighter;
The Church party offered men anu
money.
Miramon commands the Central

OILING \ NENTEILOQCIsT.-A physi-
clan says that he was going down the
Mississippi, some months since, on n
steamer whose engines were upon the
deck, and he sauntered i'll that vicinity
to see the working OF the machinery.
Near by stood man apparently bent on
the same object. In few moments a
squeaking noise was heard on the oppo-
site side of the engine. Selling the oil
can, a gigantic one by the way, the en-
gineer sought out the dry spot, and to
prevent further noise of the kind, libcr-
ally applied the contents of his can to
every Joint. All went on well for
awhile, when the squeaking was heard
in another direction. The Oiling pro-
cess was repeated, and quiet restored;
but as the engineer was coming quietly
around toward the spot occupied by the
doctor and the stranger, he heard an
other squeak. This time he detected
the true cause of the difficulty. The
stranger was ventriloquist. Walking
directly up behind him, he seized the
astonishcd joker by the back of the
neck and emptied the contents of the
can down his spine. "Therew said he,
81 don't believe that engine will squeak
again"
