PROVISIONS.

An unusually active business was transacted
in this market, and the flu :tuations in values
were quite severe. The influences brought to
bear upon the market were of an unfavorable ten
or and generally calculated to produce weakness.
Eastern and foreign advices generally reported
weaker markets, and this caused an increased
desire to sell for future delivery, and as buyers
in view of these quotations were only willing to
make moderate purchases the market ruled
weak. 1t was not until considerable of de-
cline had been established that buyers could be
induced to take hold with freedom and then the
movement was quite brisk. The stock of mess
pork and lard are fair, while the amount
of winter cured meats is rather light. Prices,
as compared with the current figures of week
ago. have declined about $1.00@1.25 on mess
pork, lie per Id on lard and I@ssc on all de-
ecriptions of meats The market closed steady
at $40. 75@198O per brl for mess pork spot,

The movement in the seed market was only
fair during the week, but a firm feeling pre-
