PEANUTS-Our remarks concern
ing the market for peanuts for the few
weeks past have been subjected to
only slight alterations, as our lnforma-
ton regarding the same, was, we sup
posed, from the best of authority, and
were generally reported to us without
change. The substance of these re-
marks was: "That producers have
been holding back thier stock, await
ing summer prices" We learn, how
ever, that this il. mot the case. That
producers had generally forwarded
their stock, and that the shortness of
supply is due to the small crops pro
duced. 1t is generally conceded that
the present crop has been received
and that the market has established
it's prices for the season, unless some
unforeseen demand should arise,
which is natural should not occur.
The following prices have ruled the

PROVISIONS-Th provision mar
a fair demand from the consumptive
and export trade with liberal sales at
the quotations. At the West and
North the market has eased up slight
ly but the demand continuing good
there and very little reaction of prices
has occurred. The CINCINNATI Price
Current says of the western market :
The course of trade in this line DUR
ing the past week has been the re-
verse of that of the week preceding.
This is accounted for partly by the
natural reaction from the advance
which tended to restrict consumptive
orders, and partly by the general an
that the offerings would be
large the last week of the month, when
the deliveries on contracts came to be
made, and consequently speculative
buyers have been holding off. This
has resulted in decline of ! to per
lib on bulk meats and bacon. but mess
pork and lard have been held very
firmly, for stocks of these articles are
in few hands and are so
light as to be easily controlled, and
although the demand for them has
been small, scarcely more than what is
required for current consumption
holders see1a to have full confidence in
values being sustained, with strong
hopes of further advance. The for
eign exports from the seaboard ports
were considerably less than for the |,
week last year. and this |
mas also had sone inhuence in the |
downward turn, but there is a strong !
to the market, and at even |
small concessions from current prices |
here are buyers for round lots of |
meats, for the confidence OF the trade |
n the final outcome has not been
shaken, but only a disposition exists |
@ take advantage of the temporary |
lecline to buy in at as low price as |
