6aqe, fresh louisiana, was in good tup-
ply at 81 50G12 per hundred head, sc-
cording to size. Street potatoes cell IN
the stores at g 50, and Louisiana at So
with fair demand. Celery, fresh Lou
isisna, SOC bunch. Provisions at Chi
cago on Saturday, according to the
Tribune, were irregular, ard "ihe mar
ket turned when the record compiled oy
the secretary OF the p. L. A. was posted,
showing that cur stock Of product was
not very FAR below those OF year ago,
and that the packing in the city will
not fall yely much below that Of last
winter, when the increased weight Of
hops is taken into the account. This
made free sellers, and the msrset
declined rapidly under heavy offerings,
especially in pork, the buy
ing being chiefly done by
the short interest" Tuesdays
market, accC riding to the same author
ity. was again at q less range OF prices
than OH many preceding days; a light
supply of hogs, but the market for pro.
duct was tame at the outside, selling CT.
ders having been attracted from the
country By the statistics Of stocks pub.
lished Saturday. Tne sellers argued that
there Ia more stuff on hand than Is COM
pai0le with present quotations. But
their offerings were readily taken up,
and then the market Strengthened under
a continued good dem aud, chiefly from
the short interest. The st. Louis Re
publican OF Wednesday reports that
packers have become very f1Tm, but
without any upward tendency. IONS
reason for this last fact has been, per-
haps, that the south, with most favOra-
be grain crops Of last year, and e3-
pecislly Of corn, but wheat included,
has prepared itself with not only larger
supply Of the hog product in the form of
provisions, but a'so that other essential
of life, flour, and hence is not the urgent
buyer of the staple food-stuffs that she
has been in former years" The Repub'
licdn Sdds that the absence Of spec
ulatiou shows distrust in present
p-ices, and the demand is not active.

q fair supply Of cattle at from to 44c.
