PROVISIONS We report the mar
I1et for Provisions still strong and ad-
vancing with the order trade, which
has been fair as also the consump-
tive demand. At the West and Ncr b

an advance "Ollr market has natural
IL responded to. these influences and
prices for all bulk me ats have advanced
about one cent. North Carolina Ba-
| con is scarce and wanted and lots of
size would meet with ready sale at the
quotations appended below. The Gin
cinnati Price sGufreHE says Of the
Western market Under the continu-
ance Of 4 good consumptive demand

advance in prices of ! to ] cent has
been established daring the week, and
| a further liberal reduction stocks is
| giving substantial support to the

| fact that st. Louis has commenced to
draw upon this market is significant,
and there is a conviction that the sup
ply in the country is not greatly in ex-

require, so that the foreign exports
for, last week = although considera-
bly, less than for the corresponding
week last year, made no apparent inn
preston on the market. The stock. Of

ing, and buyers have little. to do with

| tice an effort in the New York market
to write down lard, ard exaggerated
estimates of the stock i'll the country
are put into print, br.t to our view this
is futile, for the advance to its present
to1ahA to tiIs shatara ait iaWs II Trade, and in
spite of strong efforts to prevent it
rather than by any speculative bull
movement; therefore the position Of
the market to-day is. imprt gnabIe.

for lard and meats may check the. ex-
port demand, but not enough to pre-
surplus-if indeed we really have amy
surplus stock i'll this country. RI
