market during the past week, with perhaps
the exception of one or two articles. The
advance in gold stiffened the views on al
most all articles that usually are affected
by its fluctuations, but the d, cline in rates
from the highest point touched caused the
market.to become quiet towards the close,
and but few material advances in values
were made.
HoGs.-lhe receipts Tor the week were
1855 mead, and Tor the season to date, 357,-
527 head, against 395, 49, mead the sIme
time last season. The market, in the early
part OF the week, W as affected bv light re-
ceipts, and prices advanced l09l5c per
GENITAL, but en- Tuesday, owing to free Of
ferings to arrive. the market became weak
and pi ices declined SOC p GENITAL, but TO-
day there is stronger feeling, with some
demand fer DIRE sed for eastern shipment,
and we quote the market as closing steady
a So 2596 80 for live, and 81 SECS 10 or dress
Ell for light to heavy averages Count y
dress will not bring wi hin SOC per Genital as
much as city dressed. Our slaughterers are
now pa, ing 80 to 75c premium for tt e pri-
Vilege of killing.
GREEN MEATS-There has been no spe-
ciaI activity, but prices advanced &c with
prices OF hogs, and at the close the aG-
at SIC for shoulders, SIC for side, and 1914
Gle for heavy and light averages OF hams.
There have been some offerings OF country
cut, which sell at &c under city, unless
well handled.
MESS PoRK-Early in the week the mar
ket was firm, at least so far as holders
were concerned, and some business was
done at cur last quotations, but prices to-
wards the close gave way, and the market
is now without any animation, at de-
cline of 5O@z5c upon figures last named.
City brands Of old are offered at $40 50, and
of new at $50 90, without finding SALE
There has not been much done in country
| packed, and we nominally quote it soc be-
low city, remarkIng that small, ire uIar
! OTIS would have to DE sold at further re-
duction.
BULK MEAFs-The market opened irreg-
'tllsars and inactive, but during the week
there was an improved inquiry, which
| hoIGers were quite willing TO meet, and
prices not only stiffened, but became more
settled, and are now more easily quoted
with accuracy. The demand to-day was
| light. but holders Hares steady at Sc for
shoulders; Toe for RIBS. 101&c Tor clear rib.
and lie for clear sides; the quotations are
all for fully cured city cut meats packed.
| Sweet picked hams are held at l2159l312c
| according TO brand, but we notice no de-
Inand.
sBAc6S-There has been a limited inquiry
on orders, and the market is better stocked,
considerable quantities being now ready
to come out of smoke, and we quote the
market closing quiet and steady at &c for
shoulders, -I0s4c tor rib, 1i14c for clear rib,
| and lI54e-for clear sides, packed. Sugar
| cured hams, can vased AMI packed, can be
/ bought at l5Iz9I6c Tor best brands.
| LARD-At the date Of our last report,
| there was brisk demand for the lever
I grades, which continued under the adj
vance in gold, the purchases being made
/ for Eastern man uiacturers of oil, and we
find the shipments for the week to have
been 1902 tierces and 1851 kegs. The mar
| ket closes quiet, with holders firm at the
/ figures obtained for recent sales, with bug
| ers about re below. and indifferent. New
/ prime city quoted at 1254gI21zc in tierces.
| and 13c in kegs. Old city not salable at
over II1@aI15z, but held at lie. New coun
| try held at I228g121zc; prime steam at Il51
| 912c; head aud gut at 1I1zt9lIs4c; greases,
from to g01Sc for brownie white.
TALLow-Has been quiet but arm at
1910 for country and 1870 for city, with
&c more asked by some.
FLoUR-The demand has been almost
entirely local and the offerings sufficiently
| large to meet 1t, but efforts to buy at con-
cessions ind holders firm in their views
and not willing to submit to any decline
We quote Winter Flour al SII 45CGI2 70 for
fancy; 81 O0@II so for family SO 1910 rs
for extra, and uninspected grades from
s. so TO SO 50, according to its merits, these

TO 50 20 for extra, and SO % to SO IS for
family.
WHEAT-Tlie supply and demand for
Red Winters were both light, and prices
ruled steady at 81 55 for No. 2, and 81 90 for
No. /; these figures being asked and ne
cessarily paid to make purchases. Spring
Winters 1uctuated with the Chicago mar
ker, but the sales were trifing. and the
market closes quiet at ~ 1892 10 for No. 2,
and y . for No. l. White Wneats held
nominally at 81 1892 70.
BARLEY-0wing to light supplies prices

though with increased offerings. Fall now
81 20 for No. ?, and 81 -2592 90 for No /;
