Chicago Grain and Provision Market
From the Tribune Of Yesterday
CHICAGO, Dec. 2, 1867.
There was stronger feeling in the grain
markets. and prices were & shade higher
though here was no material in Z .ase il, tho
volume of trade.
There was less activity in the Provision
trade. in consequence OF the rather unfavora.
ble character OF the adviccs from New York
and the general market was not so strong,
though holders were firm, and no essential
change in vaues took place. Mess Pork was
quiet and easier, with sales of 900 barrels,
at SGD $50 2O.50 spot and $20.75 seller, jan
uary. Mess ordinary sold at $1,000. Extra
prime sold in small way a. $500. Swee,
Picked Hams were firm, with sales of o3o
tierces. in lots, at ll1sc. Bulk Meats were
less active but steady. with sales at 7L5@7sIc
Tor Shoulders loose. and 777sc packed. In
other cuts there was nothing doing. Green
Hams were dull, and buyers were generally
unwilling to pay yesterdays outside price,
A concession was demanded, which sellers re
fused to grant. Some 1000 pieces sold Mt
l lc from the block. Shoulders were neglect
ed and nominal at 67S@7c. Lard was steady,
though less active. We note sales of 400
tier ;es, at 1910 for kettle dried and I2c for
steam. There was nothing doing in Grease.
Dressed Hogs were quiet, with sales a,
s7.OO@7.5O.
Tallow was inactive and nominally un.
changed
The Flour market was again dull. though
values suffered no quo,able decline. We re-
port sales to the extent of $50 brls at sll o5

for Clover.
There is no perceptible improvement in the
Butter market for common descriptions.
There is no shipping margin between here
and the Eastern markets. consequently there
10 no movement on the part of shippers. Choice
qualities are in good request, and all qualities
meet with ready sale at full prices. Indeed,
for something very nice in small fancy packa-
ges, an advance Of 2@3c may readily be OBJ
tanned. The stocks OF common grades are
not large. though rather in excess OF the de-
