PROVISIONS provision mar
ket has exhibited a firmer tone during
the week, and there has been a small
advance in Western cured meats
as also i'll Carolina bacon. The
Western advices are stronger, and as
the pork packing season isabout draw
ing to a close and dealers can form an
estimate of their crop to work on there
is general tendency to "bulI'' rather
than bear the market at present.
From the Cincinnati Price Current
we clip the following article of tie
Western market:
The general tone of the market has
been strong all the week, and prices
sustained a further advance of }004c.
per pound on all articles, under n good
consumptive demand and q stronger
market in New York. The foreign ex-
ports from all ports for the week
ending Saturday, March Z, while
below those for the correspond
ing week lastyear, were larger than had
been anticipated, and contributed its
influence toward strengthening the
market. The consumptive demand
has improved somewhat. and the sta
tistics show that the shipments are
quite liberal, the amounts of orders
coming direct to packera being salts
factory, and indicating that the domes-
tic consumption is steadily reducing
stocks. But to- day there was partial
reaction, and more disposition to real
ize at the current prices, and in some
instances their We're sales at &c. below
the highest point of the week, with
quite liberal offerings at the close, and
less demand than has prevailed for sew
eral days, either for present or future
delivery.

quotations in the provision mar
ket : North Carolina Bacon sells
