probability of any reduction at the

PROVISIONS-T market contin-
ues firm under more favorable advices
from the North and West and quota
tions have been steady during the
WEN. ITO III Duik anu
boxed meats continues good and
there is a large export movement to
the country surrounding our market.
For North Carolina and Virginia bacon
there is only a moderate enquiry and
the stock though light is sufficiently
large to meet the wants of buyers.
The following article on the western
market is from the Cincinnati Price
Current
There has been rather less ANNA
ton in the market during the week,
and prices have ruled little lower on
meats. The overflow of large part
of the Southern country has had de-
pressing effect, because it was argued
that the demand for Provisions would
be lessened on account of the inability
of those who are driven from their
homes to buy, but they must be fed,
and Pork and Bacon are the most eco
nomical articles for the Government
or private OF public amounts of food
supplies have been swept away or de-
strcyed by the floods, would seem to
furnish evidence that additional
supplies of meats from the Northern
markets will be required during the
season.
The foreign exports last week from
all ports were i'll the aggregate consid-
cradle in excess of the corresponding
week last year, meats being less and
lard more. The monthly settlement
of contracts is somewhat Oppressive, as
considerable meat is thrown on the
market for paesent delivery. but there
is not as much of this as usual at the
end of the month, and the undertone
of market at the close it strong. An
actual count of stock here is in pro-
gress, and the trade is disposed to
await it's announcement before ope-
rating much. Lard continues eXcep-
tionally strong, and has further adj
vanced.
