natl Price Current says:
The warm weather which has pre-
vailed most of tho week has prevented
any addition of consequence Of tn
supply of meats, and as there is
steady consumptive demand there is
constant reduction in the stock, whicl
causes a more confident feeling on thu
part of holders, and has resulted II
better prices being obtained for eom.
articles, but the trade in meats is stil
confined to filling small orders. The
chief feature of the market was II
Lard, many contracts having beer
| made during the last few weeks, sellers
option the first half of November
which were made under the expecta
ton of making the lard to fill them,
and which the continuous warm wealth
er made it impossible TO do. There
was an opportunity for sharp corner
in Lard, but the party who might have
forced settlements at high figures re
fused to do SO as matter of princi-
pie as well as of policy; still there
being a scarcity of Lard for current
business the price advanced 1@t cents
p h.
The weather turned cool on Tuesday
night, and if there is no unfavorable
change for few days there will soon
be an ample supply of Lard, for this
being the most profitable article to
make there have been many whole
hogs rendered into lard, saving the
hams and shoulders, and it is proba-
bic that this course will be pursued
until values are adjusted upon a nor
NAL basis. Already the effect is OBJ
servable in the higher price current
for green sides, which are above the
prices of shoulders and hams. The
late opening of the packing season will
servo to give MS fatter hogs and in
crease the yield of Lard. The foreign
exports from the seaboard ports last
week were considerably less than the
time last year, which is
owing partly to the want Of stock and
partly to the high prices current.
