PROVISIONS. There is a slight
improvement of feeling and the tone
of the market is somewhat stronger,
though as yet no advance has been
mentioned. The encouraging reports
of the Cincinnati and Baltimore mar
feelings of buyers to effect larger pur-
chases at the North and on this ac-
count we have in store a large stock,
but the demands this week are no
larger than the previous one and the
business was on no larger scale. North
Carolina bacon has also been in good
eng iiry, but the stock is small and
transactions are only on q limited
scale. The demands principally are
for hams, the enquiry existing for
sides and shoulders being quite small.
We quote North Carolina bacon as
follows 9@10 cents for shoulders,
11@12 cents for sides, 12@12! for hog
round and 17!@1S! cents for hams.
We quote Western Smoked Meats at 81
@9k cents for shoulders, III oil! cents
for sides, 16@18 cents for hams. Dry
Salted sells at sos! cents for shoul-
ders, 10l@1O! cents for sides.-
LARD-North Carolina is scarce and
wanted. Sells at 11!@12 cents 7a 1b.
Northern steam refined, in buckets and
tubs, sells at 1Ol@11l cents u tb.
EGGS-There is larger supply a.
present than there has been for some
weeks past. In consequence of this
there is a falling off in the demand,
and dealers find it impossible to pay
more than 1920 cents T dozen.

fairly supplied with all kinds men
