PROVISIONS AND PRODUCE.
| HoGs-rnere was little done in the pack
! ing last week. 1t is generally conceded

about all in. The mum Der packed IS con-
siderabIy less than last year. which is ow-
| ing not so much 20 a scarcity of hogs as to
the high price which prevailed last
month, which caused our provision mer-
chants to withdraw from the market. We

gross, as per quality, delivered in this city,
and So so to 81 On off the HOOKS for good
