PROVISIONS-For Provisions the
market here this week has in general
been quiet, but it has for several days
past been improving l. tone, and it
closes strong for hog products gener-
ally, With an active consumptive de
mand The trade here are howe, er
getting their supplies principally at
the West, and but few rounds lot are
changing hand. From the Cincinnati
Price Current we clip the following
article on the Western market:
There has been some improvement
in the tone of the market during the
week, because of the good consumptive
demand which has existed for most
articles, and the liberal foreign ex-
ports, which, If not up to the CORES
ponding time last year, are steadily re-
| ducing stocks in this country to a sat
isfactOry extent, and holders have more
confidence, believing that with the re-
yival OF trade in other branches of
business, of which there are already
quite positive indications, there will be
a better demand for Meats and Lard,
and that the supply will not in the end
prove to be excessive. Lard has been
cs, tally strcng, there being a de
mand for it to cover March contracts
in New York, and considerable pur-
chases have been made here and at in
terror points of Kettle rendered as we'll
as of Prime Steam. The market closes

cles and not much stock offered except at
