PROVISIONS.

PROVISIONS. -
Rather an unsettled feeling pervaded this
market during the week just past, and prices
iuctuated quite frequently, but within a small
range. Holders of provisions were generally
asking a shade more than buyers were willing
to paw, and the business transacted for outside
account in consequence was rather light, but at
the same time there was quite a good demand
from spectators and a fairly active business
was reported. Eastern adyices were OF q more
favorable tenor, which was the principal cause
for the existing firmness among holders. Cash
mess pork closed at $19.40@19.6 60, according to
the quantity and the reputation of the brand !:
seller July, S19.45@19.50, and seller August
closed at S19. 62L@19.65. Cash lard closed at
$13.15 seller July at S13. 12H@13.1 Is, and seller
August at $3.50.
A fair trade was reported in butter, though
the movement was not as liberal as during the
previous week. The receipts during the week
were fair, and the supply o n hand Is perhaps a
little larger than at this time last week, but re-

former prices were maintained. Quotable at
