Provision Market.


The business of the week in this depart
ment foets up largely and the month opens
for all articles under this head with as
much activity as at any time during the
season.
Bulk Meats still appear TO be the favor
lie cure for most buyers, but bacon is be-
ginning TO attract more attention, and is
moving off in increasing quantities. The
stocks are fair, and prices are ruling lower
here than at most of the Western packing
points, which fact our Southern friends
have not been slow 10 perceive. 1t is a
candid fact that the hog crop is largely
short, both in numbers and weight, which
in connection with the export demand, and
the wants of the South with their ability
to pay for their supplies, is strong argu-
ment, and well used by those who still con-
tend that much higher figures than current
figures are inevitable. ...........
Lard is in light stock, and active at our
quotations, with a strong tendency upward.
We continue our figures for Mess Pork
which is quiet but firm. Choice hams are
in good request, and We note large sales
of Messrs. Hart & Hensley's "choice
country cured" to the local trade. This
popular ham bids fair TO supersede all i'm
ported brands with our retail dealers, and

~ Enc OaEROEAttOM GoneAS-
At the last meeting of the Board Of
Aldermen, resolution was offered re-
questing the Finance Committee to report
its operations in borrowing money in each
case, and notwithstanding the resolution
was laid on the table and the information
denied, we still trust the enquiry will be
insisted on until the information is granted
our citizens. We think it nothing but
right that the laboring man, the mechanic
and all who are interested in the pros
periiy of our city should know what dis.
position is made of the funds of the cor
poratiOn and why there should be any
cOncealment, if honestly managed, it is
impossible to conceive,
The mass of our citizens are ignorant of
the alleged fact, that the corporation au-
thorities are in the market borrowing
money at two per cent. per month, though
we learn this is notorious fact by gentle
men of certain circles. 1t is further al
legged that the Finance Committee, has
devised, with the assistance of some one,
the following scheme to borrow money and
to avoid the appearance Of usury: We
will suppose the corporation wishes to Dor
row $4,000 The Mayor will give his note
for said amount payable, say in six
months at the rate of six per cent
per annum, and then, the lender may
present S., 900 in corporation checks which
he will Immediately cash. Or, to be more
easily understood, when the lender goes to
pay oyer the $4,000, he can pay one half
of the amount in checks. As these checks
can be bought at 20 per cent. discount, the
lender is making over per cent. per
month on Lis investment. As security the
corporation will put up double the amount
in checks, as collateral. We thus see the
ruinous rates which the corporation is
paying for money. Now, in the name Of
the working men of the city who Ia
Dor for their daily bread and know
nothing Of these shortcuts to make money,
We think that the information sought for
ought 10 be granted, so that We may know
who are the shylocks and money-lenders
who are conniVing, for the sake of gain,
with the Corporation Ring, to grind the
labOring Taxpayer still lower in the dust.
Let their names be given, whether they be
bankers, brokers, gentlemen Of means or
common uote-shayers.

The Robertson ASSOciattOu-Lecturo
of Abbott Robertson, Esq.
The fifth lecture in the Robertson Asso-
citation course, was delivered at Masonic
Hall last night by Abbott Robertson, Esq,
to a large and appreciative audience.
''Criteria of Ecce Homo" was the subject
selected, which was handled with much
ease, by the young speaker. His analysis
of the work proved to be highly interest
ing TO his audience. Mr.. Robertson is one
of the most promising young members of
the bar in the State, and withal a gentle
man Of talent, and his lecture left favor
able impression upon all who heard it.
We hope 10 see him pressed into service
again.
The concert which preceded the lecture
under the direction of Prof. Weber and
Mr.. Mueller and associates was well re-
ceived. These musical soirees have added
much to the interest Of the occasion, and
the assistance rendered by our professionals
has no doubt, done much to make the
lecture season SUCCESS.
