THE GRAIN MARKET.

PROVISIONS.
In hog products also the market has been very
quiet. The tendency in the principal markets
has bsen toward lower range of prices. Under
a spirited foreign demand and sustained prices
1t Liverpool lard held its own until Friday,
when IL, too, gave way. The decline, however,
has been but 1i1ing, not more than re on cut
meats and but little ifany more IN lard. The
weakness appears but temporary and is I'm
doubleday Occasion chiefly BY the unexpect-
edly large receipts OF hogs at Chic lgo-over 80,

local condition is one OF Independence 10 such
fluctuations. Packers are not cramped iC finan- /
ces and arc pretty fully determined IN the policy
