The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1875-07-01
Opening.
Closing.


The movement was fair in this market during
the week just past, but rather an unsettled feel
ing prevailed and a further decline was sus-
tanned in values, The principal cause for the
weakness that prevailed was the light demand
on shipping account and the unfavorable adj
vices received from Eastern markets. At the
extreme close, however, a change came over
the market, and a fair portion of the early de-
cline was recovered. Cash mess pork closed
strong under a good demand at $19@19. 10 ;
seller JUNE closed at 1855 seller July at
S19, and seller August at &c. 20. Cash lard
quiet at S13. 20; seller July in moderate request
at 81 .1O@13.20 seller August closed at $685.
@13.40.
