IS sacks.
It PROvISIONs-Since the date @
u our last report the dull feeling which
L we then noticed has disappeared, and
: this week we have had a frmer market
: for all qualities of meats, and some
advances are reported to-day. This
0 firmness has been occasioned By a re-
) action Of the markets at the West and
8 which were dull when we closed our
last report. North Carolina bacon has
5 been in better demand this week than
last, and there was also a slight adj
!; vance reported. The stock, however,
/ IS small, and has admitted Of only
1 light transactions. The following
from the Cincinnati Commercial and
Price Current explains the condition
of the market:
: The market las been more active
most of the week, especially for bulk
meats and bacon, and 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 low point, and clear
sides are especially in light supply
The consumptive demand for shout
ders has not been very large but they
have been taken Oh speculation to
some extent in anticipation Of an carly
exhaustion of the supply of sides, and
that consumers will then have to take
shoulders. Mess pork has met bet
ter cOnsumptive demand, ard 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 a small consumptiTe
demand, but for current make Of steam
Lard the market is weaker; it can be
| bought at 13 cents for October deliv-
cry, and II cents for November, SO
that manufacturers or others viii buy
now only enough to meet immediate
necessities at current prices. The
market as whole has a strong and
confident tone, although it is evident
! that the relatively high prices current
2ce having considerable effect upon
| the consumptive demand. At the close
there is a weaker tone as regards Bulk
Meats, and stronger feeling in Lard.

at 11@11I cents for shoulders, HOLT
