For many years the winter pork packing sea-

last spring the Board of Trade of Chicago (the
controlling meat market on this continentJ,
changed this custom or law. and formally de-
clared that all pork packed after that period OF
the year which was sound and of full weight
should be considered standard, The Cincinnati
Price Current, however. continues to make I'D
its reports of the winter packing to the first of
March. From that most reliable journal we

GENERAL REMARKS-Tod day has been q
clear, cool and delightful day; and being a
legal holiday, the banks and public institutions
were closed which put an etfectual estoppel on
general business.
However, the news of the signing OF the treaty
stipulations by the Russian and Turkish au-
thorities and the consequent Improvement In
the Cotton market at Liverpool and New York
had favorable effect upon our market In the
feeey staple, and the sales reached 60oo bales at
advance Of 3s@t4c v pound. The sales
would have been much larger. but holders gen
orally advanced their prices to such q degree
that buyers did not feel themselves justified in
meeting them.
In Provisions there Is no change worthy of
mention. Prices are about the same, with q
very little movement
The Flour market continues quiet although
slightly easier to purchasers. but we cannot
quote the commodity lower. while tho demand
Is fair.
Since Saturday there have been fresh sup
plies Of Corn Meal which have been taken up
readily, but prices of this article have under
gone no change.
Corn Is firm, with sales of 1900 barrels at prices
ranging from go to 53c per bushel.
The prices of Oats are steady and demand
moderate, the reported sales being 600 bags at
s74a@3sc per bushel.
COTTON-The tone of the market through
out the day has been strong. under the nHu-
ence of favorable advices from abroad. Not
withs' anding BUYERS and sellers were apart in
their views. q moderate business was transacted
the sales amounting to 6ooo bales. at an advance
