PROVISIONS There were DO trans-
actions this week of Importance in
provisions, business being confined to
supplying the consumptivs demand
but stocks here are light as we'll as in
Baltimore and though the demand is
not specially active the market
has been strong throughout.
On the Western market the Cincin-
natl Price Current says:
The steady advance in the price Ct
hogs and the high figures reached las
week seems to have caused packers to
think it time to put a check to such
operations, and though most of the
regular packers have concluded that
they may as we'll go with the current,
there is disposition to proceed eau
tiously, md any advance asked for
hogs is met with u determined resis.-
ance. Hogs declined 25@S0 cents On
Saturday, but haTe slice recovered
10@15 cents, aud market firm at the
close. In green meats there was no
activity, as buyers and sellers were
generally apart in their views, though
at the close tho demand was fair at
quoted prices. Lard has been
in fair demand, but with a more /
plentiful supply decline of cent |
was established. Ia mess pork there |
was little or no demand for i'm |,
delivery, but fair amount ,
of trading for future-cheify sell !
er's option for February. The !
for bulk meats has been |
very light, and the few sales made |
were at prices considerably below cost |
of production on the basis of current |
prices of hogs. OF bacon there is only /
q small stock of old shoulders, which |
are selling at an advance; the few lots ,
of new sides are quickly taken as soon !
as ready, and the supply is not
equal to the daily consumption.
