there is large export movement to

ger of mess pork and hams, Such re-
ports are not emincntly satisfactory,
simply because few packers are able
to tell with accuracy how much meat
they have III their cellars, ana IL the
which they make they are
not apt to exasgerate this amount.
Mess ro4s, bacon, lard aud hanls are
easily counted, and the report OF the
stock of these articles we have every
reason to believe is as nearly accurate
as possible. The foreign exports last
week from all ports III aggregate num-
Der of pounds was a little less than
during the corresponding week last
year, when there was sudden de-
cline from the enormous exports which
had been running for many weeks. As
Europe has not been loaded up so eX-
cessiVely this season as last 1t is only
to presume that the exports
from this time forward will compare
more favorably with last season than
they have done for some weeks past.
As regards lard the market is especial
" strong, and stronger here shan else
where, because the hone marufactur-
ing demand exceeds the current pro-
duction 6 summer lard, and the stock
of o.hes kinds is scarcely AS large as
will probably be required for meeting

sources during the remainder of the
