PRONISIONS-The tone of the
market during the week was heavy
owing to Il weakening Of tie Baltimore
and Western markets. and prices de-
clined to cent = il on rearly all
articles. There has been i reduction
Of orders from the country which is
usually the case about this season of
the year, as farmers are not laying in
larger supply than will meet their
necessities untilhog killing time. North
Carolina bacon is III better stock, and
prices are well maintained. The fol
lowing article on tho provision market
is taken from the Cincinnati Prize
CuYTtyH. 1t SAYS;
The extreme prices which We're cur
rent a week ago checked the demand
for nearly all articles, and the market
has been irregular during the last few
few days, but tho stock is so much re-
duced that even with only q moderate
consumption il Will scarcely bridge
over until new meats arc ready for
market. Still with such extreme
PR IS there is 4 sCnsativeness which
would not be APPARENT on a lower basis,
and SO nC lots Of Bacon and Bulk
Shoulders were pr ssed for sale yester
day at a decline Of &c to C from the
highest point; these, however, were
quickly taken, and there was Il sharp
rally. The stock Of Bacon and Bulk
Meats Is estimated at not over $780,,
900 pounds, the larger part Of which
is Shoulders. There are SugarCured
Hams, and little Mess Pork, but of
City kettle rendered Lard there is not
enough for the iobbing trade. The
production Of Simmer Steam Lard is
small, but tie local manufactures are
not using much, and therefore there is
some available for shipment.
The weather, which was cool, With
some frost on Monday and Tuesday
mornings, is again warm. Even I'M
der the most favorable circumstances
for slaughtering hogs in October, the
cousumptive demand for meats must
be filled from the old stock for 9
month to come, which will leay%1,1
