PROVISIONS-Sincc last week the
course of the market has continued up
ward and we have to report o further
Cd nf !
l cent on Western smoked and bulk
meats. The tendency has continued
to look mp on account of the better
prices being paid at the North and
West, which advances will naturally
fall on our market, ~ we are governed
entirely by the above market. There
is great scarcity of \. G. Bacon and
the demand for this kind of meats is
as large as We have known in some
months. Western smoked meats are
also wanted and prices given to-day
are readily paid for all meats of that
character or kind. From the Cincin-
natl Price Current we copy the follow
ending to-day:
The course of the market since our
last has continued to be strongly up
ward, under steadily increasing con-
sumptive demand for bulk meats,
vance established than holders ask a
still higher pr.ce, and 80 far they have
succeeded in obtaining any price they
chose to ask; but now many are in
luiring, where viii this end? It can
not go on much longer without making
pork the dearest luxury in the market,
but there is really nothing which can
take its place with large part of the
consumers in the South, and they must
have it, whatever the cost, although
they may get along with less than they
would if it was cheaper. The orders
for mess pork seem to have been di-
verified from this market, probably by
the reported light supply here, so that
it has not advanced in price proper
tionately to other articles, and to a
moderate extent 1t can now be bought
cheaper here than in Chicago, and the
difference in weight in favor of this
city makes it much cheaper than the
mere difference i'll price would indi-
cate. The supply of lard is short OF
the demand, and manufacturers find it
difficult to obtain In as much as they
need of current make. The whole
market is very strong, and is likely to
continue SO, for the supply of bulk
meats and bacon is not large for this
season of the year, and even with a re-
duced consumption it is not likely to
prove excessive.
The following are the ruling quota
tions of the provision market here:
