are being made daily to the surround

PROVISIONS-Since the date of
our last report the dull feeling which
we then noticed has disappeared, and
this week we have had a firmer market
for all qualities Of meats, and some
advances are reported day. This
action of the markets at the West and
which were dull when we closed our
last report. North Carolina bacon has
been i'll better demand this week than
last, and there was also q slight ad
vance reported. The stock, however,
is small, and has admitted of only
light transactions. The following
from the Cincinnati Commercial and
Price Current explains thu condition
of the market:
There continues to be strong de-
gree of confidence felt by the trade
that the supply of meats is scarcely as
large as the regular coneumptive trade
will require during the remainder of
the season; especially is this is so as
regards sides, which are taken in pref
erence to the comparatively lean meat
of shoulders and hams, Ibecause they
yield SO much fat, which is good
substitute for lard for ma purposes,
and lard is SO high that n subs itute
which is cheaper will command mar
ket. Bulk and bacon sides have raj
lied to the highest point of the season,
but shoulders have not quite recover |
ed from the decline. Mess pork seems
seems to be almost entirely neglected,
even jobbing orders being conspicu-
ously absent. Sugar-cured hams ais o |
meet comparatively light demand,
and are offered at reduced prices
Bulk and bacon shoulders, although |
ter, and at higher prices. The stock |
mand it is under easy control Alto |
gethcr the market-has an improved |
tone over a week ago, and although |
the volume of business is not rs large |
as it was in July and the first of Au-
gust, there is n steady AMI satisfacto- |
ry reduction of stock III progress.
