PLYMOUTH, January ., 1868.

There was an exceedingly strong feeling
developed in the Provision market to-day
and for most articles higher range of prices
prevailed. Mess Pork was in active specula.
tive demand, and S2l 90 vas offered for
straight brands without finding sellers. Stan
dard and second brands could be readily had
at tina. figure, but such are not desirable ex-
cept for filing contracts. We note sales oil
400 brls ut $4,000 st Peoria; $20,75 here
last evening; $4,000 buyer January, and
$4,000 for country. on the spot-clos;ng with
more buyers than sellers at $40 90 for straight.

lOllc for White, sac for yellow, and s@S1ac

The market for Dressed Hogs advanced
l0M 20c, though the extreme figures were on
" cbtainable for really good lots. We note

lbs.

pkgs at l0c for City and 9slic Tor Country.

White Winters; s9.0O@950 for Spring Ex-
tras; $6.7597 so for Spring Supsrs; $500 for

At the opening there was an easier feeling
in Wheat, and trasactions were made at de-
cline of "a &c, but late in the day the de-
prccistion was more than recovered, and at
the close the market was fully &c better.

ago We pre- dictcd that the new and the old
crop would sell for the same price before the
opening Of the spring trade, but we had no
idea tina. it would take place 50 soon after the
close Of navigation.
