PRoyIsroNs.-The price current of Hart
& Hensley, leading provision dealers, is
sued to-day, says that Figures have been
rapidly advanced for all articles Of the
Hog product, and the buoyancy previously
noted is still undated. The consumptive
demand, instead of being checked BY the
continuous and rapidly upward move
ment, SIS is usually the case seems to in
crease, and spectators in all of the Vest
ern markets manifest the greatest eagerness
to get in at current figures before another
enhancement of values (which they appear
TO think ineVilable,) takes place, and
which has 30 far in the season been of al
most daily occurrence. Bulk meats APP
pear at present to be the faVorite articles
with all buyers, and while Bacon rules
very firm, it is comparatively neglected"
