PROVISIONS Ia Provisions there
is nothing doing here bayond the ort!i-
nary jobLing trade, and though the
market is firm at tI,e West, the feeling
in it here is heavy The Cincinnati
aud Chicago Prize Ctvytnts contain
copio,is details of the pork packing OF
the West for the past two seasons, AMI
all the statements agree that there Will
be considerable deficiency IN the
packing this season, and as the foreign
exports are considerably III excess OF
those of last year. and likely to con-
tinue SO, the statistical position OF the
trade is certainly ia, orsble TO the
maintenance OF prices. The exports
for the past week from the United
States are 5000 bbls. pork, 3, coo, 600
lbs. lard, and 100000 lbs. bacon.
