PROVIS1ONS-W report the mar
ket 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 North
the daily reports of the market contin-
ues strong and indicate almost daily
an advance. Cur market has natural
~ responded to these influences and
prices for ali 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 Current says Of the
Western market:
The course OF the market has not
changed essentially during the week,
and further advance has been estab-
Eshed on nearly all articles. The stock
on hand is estimated to be about
II, 900, coo tbs bulk meats and bacon,
and about 1 800 barrels of pork, while
OF lard there is only jobbing supply
Of city kettle, and scarcely enough
current N Ike steam to meet the wants
of manufacturers, and the latter have
ordered some which they held III Chi
foreign exports from the seaboard
ports last week OF lard were consider
ably in excess Of the corresponding
week last year, while of meats they
were less, but the result rs a whole is
to the holders of provis-
ions, and the confidence in the future
Of the market is as great as ever. The
cOnsumptive demand continues good,
and with light stocks in the markets
OF supply, as well a in those of distri-
button, the holders seem to have
firm basis for their confidence.

we gave an article on the present con-
dition of the crop and the future pros
poets of trade, we have learned of no
festures to make issue out
of during the week. The arrivals have
continued to come in slowly, and the
market has presented a very quiet ap-
pearance, without giving points to
make an article OF, prices ruling very
steady and closing to-day at the fol-
lowing quotations:
