PROVISIONS For Provisions the
market has exhibited II firmer feeling
during the week in sympathy with the
northern aid western markets and
| some advances have been gained on
| these styles OF meats. North Carolina
bacon continues scarce and prices are
we'll maintained Since the close OF
pork packing season there has been n
disposition on the part of the trade TO
bull the market. AS far as this has
been to advance prices about / cent.
OF the western market the Cincinnati
Price Current says
''Ihore has been rather more anima-
ton, and an increased 1irlnnCss to the
tone OF the market during the week, |
with good consUmptive demand for
nearly all articles and some srccula- |
tive transactions for present and fu- |
ture delivery, chiefly in Balk Meats |
and Mess Pork. Prices have advanced |
! "a cent = ID on all articles, and at |
close Of March there were many settle |
ments of contracts at the advance, and |
tie sales for future delivery have been |
at relatively increased prices. The |
fact that the product is still about one
cent per pound lower than it can be |
produced with Hogs at cSrrent market |
value tends to strengthen the views of |
holders, especially rs this condition
the market, If lasts, will restrict Sum-
mer packing to very narrow limits.
The market closes strong, but without |
much animation, consumptiye orders
being light"
