In provisions there is a firmer feeling and
slight advance In bulkmeats In regard TO
the movement in lard, the sixth annual ex-
hibit of transactions in lard, just published by
Messrs. w. j. Wilcox 4 Co., makes the follow
ing estimates. After showing production OF
66l 72l tierces for the winter season and $4,000
tierces for summer packing, making a total Of
99l, 72l tierces for the year 1876, it says:
The high price of hogs and two abundant
crops of corn have led our farmers to promote
pig raising and fattening, and gave large
~ Increased summer packing, in fact, the time
ued the year through and restricted only by
the supply of hogs, and this will we think,
give us "A more uniform MARKET for,
have already said. It was largely in conse-
queDce of this steady make of lard during last
summer, that ii was found i'm possible to main
tain high priceS-but not entirely from this
cause. At fair prices, Europe will take all she
requires, but she is not disposed To pay more
tor any article than the alb lity of her people
Will permit them TO use IL at. Poverty enforces
rigid economy, or 1t should do so. All over
the world France, perhaps, excepted, great
stagnation in business prevailed, and as a
natural result the masses were compelled
TO forego the use of every article not abso-
lutely necessary to sustain life, and it will be
found that, as rule, the quantity OF lard eX-
ported is in exact ratio with its value in gold,
not nj the time of Shi pment, but at the time of
its purchase. During March, 1876, a rapid and
not en- irely unwarranted advance took place
In all hog products, lard touching l414c per
pound, but IL was soon found that at that
price Europe would DO without Ii. The west
WAS making IL In greater quantities than she
could provide money to carry it; and in May,
despite the opinions OF well informed opera
tors, prices rapidly declined TO point at
which ii couI, be unloaded. During the
months of August and September probably
100000 ties were taken at an average of s14@9ISc
gold, our own sales during these months
reaching 5000 ties. These purchases
by Europe were for all deliver
n s range fPo m Te t TO six months
a. thus enabled her people TO consume ii at
low price. This large drain on us, however,
rapidly exhausted our stock and also antici-
pated considerable of our winter production,
and il was not until the LIST of January that
we obtained any stock ahead. This large
pot and light stocks of course again sent
prices mp 10 parity of I@ll1zc gold.
he stock of lard in the world on the LIST of
February we place at 3O0,OO0, of this Antwerp
has 5000; Germany and Holland, 5000;
France, 1000; CIR, at Britain, $4,000; afioat, lS,
90; the remainder being in this country,
where stocks are being increased al the rate of
about 5000 ties per day.
In the produce market we have little change
to note. Receipts of eggs, poultry and butter
are liberal, and our quotations reflect the mar
ket.
EGGs-Receipts to-day, 1878 bbls. With the
opening OF Lent and the app oach of spring
the egg marh set enters upon its most irregular
period and the fluctuations on both price and
tone are likely to be sudden and often quite
unexpected. During the latter half of the pres
ent week the tendency on the whole has been
fairly steady, but without decided strength as
the consumption indicates caution and sup
plies have proven quite as large as receivers
nraN do
tain about former figures, but the tone is APP
parently only barely steady, and 2Jc Is an out
