PROVISIONS.


Rather an unsettled feeling pervaded this
market during the week just past, and prices
fiuctuated quite frequently, but within small
| range. Holders of provisions were generally
asking q shade more than buyers were willing
to pay, and the business transacted for outside
| account in consequence was rather light, but at
! the same time there was quite good demand
! from spectators and fairly active business
was reported. Eastern advices were of a more
/ favorable tenor which was the principal cause
| for the existing firmness among holders. Cash
mess pork closed at ?19.40019.6 CO. according to
the quantity and the reputation of the brand !;
seller July, S19.45Ml9.50, and seller August

S13.1 seller July at -. Is, and seller
! August at $3.50.
