PROVISTOES-Since the date o
our last report the duh feeling whicl
we then noticed has Disappeared, an,
this week we have had q frmer marke
for al qualities of meats, and som
, advances are reported to-day. Thi
firmness has been occasioned by q re
action of the markets at the West an,
which were duh when we closed on
last report. North Carolina bacon ha
been Ill better demand this week thar
last, and there was also slight adj
vance reported. The stock, however
light transactions. The following
from the Cincinnati Commercial Giao
Price Current explains the condition
bl VIC iidIaACt.
The market has been more active
meats and bacon, and a further adj
vance in prices has been established
on these articles, the larger advance
being on sides, the stock of which is
now reduced to a low point, and clear
sides are especially N light supply
The consumptive demand for shout
ders has not been very large but they
have been taken on speculation to
some extent in anticipation Of an early
exhaustion Of the supply of sides, and
that consumers will then have to take
shoulders. Mess pork has met bet
ter consumptive demand, and what is
rather remarkable is that the country
stores in neighboring towns are buy
ing mess pork here, showing how
| thoroughly the country has been drain
| ed of this article. Sugar-cured hams
meet with little attention, and beyond
| the order which come direct to packers
| from their regular customers there is
scarcely anything doing. City kettle
rendered Lard being in light supply is
steady with only q small cOnsumpti7e
demand, but for current make of steam
Lard the market is weaker; it can be
bought at Is cents for October deliv-
cry, and Il! cents for November, so
that manufacturers or others will buy
now only enough TO meet immediate
necessities at current prices. The
market as a whole has a strong and
confident tone, although it is evident
that the relatively high prices current
are having considerable effect upon
the consumptive demand. At the close
there is u weaker tone as regards Bulk
Meats, and stronger feeling in Lard.
The following are the ruling
quotations IN the provision mar
ket North Carolina Bacon sells
at 1IQD11, cents for shoulders, 14GE 143
