with good enquiry. and the market advanced
10 cents over the closing rates or last week -
Saturday the mnvement continued upward aud
the transactions Of the day were Mt further
advance of 10 cents. From Saturday and up to
Wednesday evening the market continued firm
with but fow transactions, buyers asking an
advance, which was obtained, and the market
closed with a still further advance of cents
To-day the market closes Arm with orders on
the market, bu: the stock held In first hands is
very light, and the transactions in consequence
small. The upward movement is attributable
to the fact Of light receipts, and expiring char
tiers OF vessels awaiting cargoes. No. T. in cor
reepondence TO its relative position to strained,
has also been looking up, and we note an ad-
vance of about % cents. The enquiry for this
grade is fair, but the stock is small and the
transactions are restricted. No. and the finer
qualities have also advanced from Is to 30 cents
A fair amount has changed hands daily at the
ruling quotations.

tinues strong and blu Oyant, but there is very
little stock OF any description offering, and
transactions in consequence are limited For
western bacon dealers arc generally asking a
further advance i'll consequence OF the cOntin-
ued upward movement in the principal North

been entirely to fill country orders which deal
ers have supplied at unchanged quotations.
The receipts OF North Carolina bacon have
ceased to be of Importance. one small lot of
hams being the receipts for the week. The
stock has become reduced to O fraction and our
quotations are based on small sales, but we
