is as yet no heavy business transacted but
good, safe and steady trade has set In with
promise OF better things yet to come; the late

has caused feeling OF WEAKNESS and duIineSs
that csrtainly can last but little longer.

PROVISIONS.
There has been an anomalous condition for tie
pas. week of hrmnsss and weakness at the same
time. The general markst has been weak and
declining, yet at the same time it has been al
zaost impossible TO buy pound of the stocks
neld in this city at any price. The plain fact is
before the public, that stocGs are much below
The supply OF last yea at this date IN this CITY
B0OO0J rounds Of bulk meats below last year. AT
the IS me time great uncertainty hangs over the
hog crop OF the autumn. The SrasSnopper
minors amount almost TO q panic, whether IL is
well founded or not, and considerable trouble is
reported among the hogs in regard 70 chq 1
aud like fatality. Still, the receipts OF live hogs
AT Chicago continue very heavy, and IN tins
market they are very dull Lard in this msrke;
nominal, as there is very lIltle mere Oeyoaa

days ago e. i've or six cents higher. The closing
stfvices Yesterday were down to SlCls4, and the
market was sick as death. Corn mas also been
weak and fatering in speculative circles, al
thoush the mark { has declined but sigh ly at
this point. Yesterday there were no sales re-
ported to serve as criterion, Dut the market
yyas.consdered a. least one cent lower. OatS, |
