| fined principally to the local trade

| PROvISIONS-The market has
been comparatively quiet and there
were no new features presented other
than that we have previously written.
| Transactions are still restricted by the
limited stock. and the enquiry also at
present is light. The trade are watch
Ing with considerable interest the crop
returns, but tine probabilities are that
| the packing will not exceed, l. i
| reaches that of last year, and RS the
| crop is liz very strong hands, prices
are not likely 80 give way, the proba-
bilities on tho contrary being in favor
| OF further advance. OF the Western

Tho market has ruled quiet most
! OF the week, for the demand did not
in prove much until yesterday, at least
blyers would not pay the prices asked
by hol> >.ers, and the latter were gener-
| ally indifferent ahaut selling except at
| an advance, especially as with hogs,
selling at an advance, stocks could not
be replaced al prices which buyers
o fered. There has since been Gil ad-
| vance IL meats and decline in hogs
50 hat relative prices are more nearly
equeiized and better demand yester-
| day for Lard and Bulk Mcats gave u
| strong tone to the whole market The
| foreign exports from New York last
week We're iers'', and from other ports
they were liberia! enough 20 indicate
| that prices are not yet high enough
TO check that movement to any mate
rial extent, and the outgo Of Lard vas
especially large. There have been
only moderate amounts OF country
meats offered il this market, and when
fully cured they have found buyt rs for
present delivery, but for future deliv-
cry there has been less disposition to
buy except at lower figures than had
previously been current. The tradeas
n whole seems to have q strong and
healtLful tone ana although the re-
ceipts OF Hogs st Chicago have been
larger than during !kerrece6liRg week,
this was anticipated enJ has less effect
upon the prices cf tie product than
upon the market tor Hogs here. The
better consCmpsivo demand for some
articles. bu: scarcely any speculative
transactioos.
