TRADE.

| Splcndld business IN pfOkiSiOH7 Has DCSA
done the past week. The former tor
pidity OF the trade has given place 10 q
buoyant and active market. This has
resulted from the great demand that
really exists for all parts of the hog pro-
lduct. which was Immediately demon
| strated and caused to show its hand on
| the appearance of the strong advance and
upward tendency in the gold market. 1t
was apparent. on the opening Of the
market on Monday, that a different state
Of affairs existed, and that inquiry for
dry salt meats. noticed at the close Of last
week. was developing itself into decided
activity. This, with the large orders re-
ceived for prime lard from all around New
York, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, and other
points. st once gave an impetus to the
trade which was quite agreeable 10 OK
~perience. The results of the weeks work
are sales Of upwards of l,O0O,G0Olbs bacon,
over 100000 lbs dry salt meats, and very
near 5000 ties lard, and nearl500 bbls pork,
all for direct consumption and shipment,
with the exception of one or two lots Of
bulk meats. All this trade was from di-
rect consumptive demand, and orders
based upon the same, and wasnot a specu-
lative movement in any sense. Should
gold keep well up i'm value prices cannot
recede, but must still further advance. In
the present conditions of stock and the
known demand which must IN the future
press strongly on the market, it is by no
means a necessity thai he provision
market shouldrecede in price eEen should
gold 60 down again.
The Winona Mimi Rcppbiicda give
the opinion Of one Of its subscribers that
"this is 10 be an o~ld-fashioned wheat
year. and an old-fashioned wheat year in
Minnesota implies an average yield Of
from - 10 - bushels to the acre. The

notwiths$ hiding this, never wasthe wheat
r put in the ground in the better order
