PrOCiSiOnS.-The market for pork remains
quite steady and firm, with II small stock.
Prices OF hogs are ruling quite high through
out the West and we cannot look for any
material change at present. The sales have
been Mt 10 to 1880 for prime, % to 22.5 30 for
mess, and 2G to 81 for clear and extra clear.
Beef remains the same and has been in
steady demand. New continues to come
forward pretty freely. and sales ut $1,000 to
IL for mess; Sl2.50 to 1885 for extra mess;
and 1880 to l6 for family. For lard the
market is quite firm but the demand is limit
ed ut the high prices. Sales of city and Wes-
tern, including steam and kettle rendered,
ut l51 to l6c per lib. Smoked hams have
been selling Mt IL to he per III. rs to quality.
Dressed hogs arc selling at lOlc per ID, and
firm mt that price.
WOoL-FOr some months past there has
been n pressure to force prices down but
without Tvs yet obta ming any important con-
cession, although this movement has been as
sisted by the depressed state of the goods
market, and the dizziness which pervades all
branches of business.
The stock Of medium fleeces is so COM
paratively small that the price of this de.
scription is under easy control. Buyers have
been freely Offering 4Sc for large lots o.
Michigan, but no such offer would be con.
sidercd for II moment, aud the fact that
some of our dealers have purchased 5000
pounds Michigan in Providence, the past
week, ut 49, to soc, mostly ut 40 to sos for
medium, is an indication of the iirmnoss of
our market. No desirable lots of this de.
s%cription could he purchased under SOC per
Id. Desirable lots of combing have be on
sold ut G2 to 62lc, down to SIS to SIC per Ii
for fine dclmne.
