dies, 16@1Sc. Apples vera in fair demand,
Sh1pInents are being made to some extent, when
the distance is short,
Highwines were in rather better demand, and
X@Ec higher, though quoted inactive in New
1ork: Sales were reported Of 200 brls at 83111c,
closed with holders at ss]Sc.
Dressed hogs we're quiet md steady. Sales
per 1oo lhs. butchers generally refuse to pay
more than that figure, and that bid does not
bring the hogs forward freely. only 223 head
we're reported in this morning.
ProvlsIons we're quiet, but with q shade firmer
feeling, though no decided advance in prices.
Hogs at the Stock Yards were quoted 10c Der 100
!os higher, and this fact caused few parties to
bid tho quotations Of yesterday, but buyers were
not numerous, and the market closed dull, with
lard quite weak. The situation in provisions is
now very much like that in corn for some time
past. Prices are SO low that one side is afraid
to 60 short to any considerable extent, lost the
market should turn sharply against them; and
buyers are equally acary about taking hold, for
fear that tho liberal receipts Of hogs should pro-
gained ground somehow that 511Go per ID
should be, the ruling price for hogs in
this market this winter, and there
is little hope Of activity until the
market either touches that point or its tone is
that operators will be satisfied the market has
really touched bottom. Neither Of these condi-
tions exists Jet, and the consequence ia that our
provision market is about the dullest

Flour was in fair request from buyers for
shipment, as we'll as for the local trade, good
spring extras being in most demand. Former

asked more, and this diference of views tended
