PROVISIONS has not been
much change in the market since our
last. Under the continued favorable
advices from Cincinnati and Baltimore
markets, ours, early in the week was
firm and advanced ! to cent, but with
an easier market at the above places,
ours closes quiet and steady. The
Baltimore Gazette says : The recent
heavy advance in provisions has been
the result of speculative movement,
and as the speculation las evidently
collapsed, it is at least questionable
whether the full advance will be main
tanned, but no one anticipates any very
material break down in prices.
The receipts of North Carolina and
Virginia bacon have increased, and
sales were made during the week. The
market, however, is not very firm, and
our quotations are full. We quote
North Carolina bacon as follows: 101
oil cents for shoulders; III @12I
cents for sides; 1908 cents for hog
round 15@16 cents for hams We
