Regarding provisions, Geo. W. Phil
lips & Co., in their circular of the I'd,
state that the tendency is toward lower
figures, without any material concessions
being made The consumptive and cash
orders have been light, while the usual
speculative trade of buying and selling
short has been brisk. Hogs, owing to
the very favorable weather for feeding
and the fact that but about half the
houses have commenced cutting, have
not been arriving in such quantities as
was anticipated, yet they are sufficiently
large to supply all the demands. Green
meats, shoulders and side, are in mode
rate demand, while hams sell freely, and
light averages are in strong demand at
full prices, We quote shoulders, 81 to
&c; rough sides, sic; clear rib, DC; clear,
9Ic; hams, Zoe for medium and l0l to
lOlc for light; bellies same price as
hams Dry sailed meats, for immediate
delivery, have been somewhat neglected,
but for forward deliveries and at lower
figures, have been in good demand.
There have been no rough sides sailed
yet, the demand being chiefly for clear
rib. At the close we quote 20 days old
shoulders 6lc; clear rib sides, 9lc and
clear l0c, all loose or ] to &c more
packed. No dry salt hams here. Sweet
picked hams in tierces, liz to l2fc, as
to age and size. Mess pork has but lit
tie cash demand, but for future delivery
is active at sl2 % to Is so for Deem
Der, January or February, sellers option,
and Sl8 so to Is rs for cash. Lard for
cash in light demand at liz to lie for
jobbing lots; round lots might be had &c
less; future deliveries, ll3c. Smokers
will begin making bacon the last of this
month.
Regarding dry goods, Thursdays New
York World says:
Business with the importers and job
bers, as usual at this season, was quiet
and confined to wants for actual con-
sumption. The trade is without any
marked features. The importers are re-
ducing prices for closing out lots There
is disposition on all hands to end the
season with light stocks of merchandise
