N0s
There was considerable of q reaction in this
market from the previous week, the excitement
that at that time prevailed giving way to quiet
ness, and the tendency of values was de-
cidedly downward. The amount of business
transacted during the week was light, and the
bulk of the trading was in the way of transfers
of contracts from one month to another at the
difference of about Zoe per bril- on mess pork,
and 1715(d020c per 100 lbs. on lard. There was
but little change in the tone of either Eastern
or European advices, and the market was
governed mainly by local influences. AS COM
pared with week ago mess pork has declined
40c per bril-, lard 30c per 100 lbs, and meats
160D1c per ID. The market closed at 5000 for
cash mess pork, $2O.4O@20.45 seller August,
800. 6002065, seller September. Cash lard
closed at $3.50, seller September, $3.50,
seller October at 1880.
