lower coast the to- Of the market this morning
was anything but weak. Under ordinary crcum-
stances the Pumping of nearly 800 packages on the
market would have depressing effect, but in the

market wants. and the retail trade will take this OPP
portuuity to repenish Fancy, 36c choice roll

coast arrivals foot up $40 boxes. Some buyers
claim to have paid III e dozen, but we obtained nc
sales from first nds below Is cents, while few
operators still asked 10 cents, though admitting
their inability to sell at that figure.

PRovIsIoNs-The market for meat products is
moderately active, with strong advance based on
much higher ruling prices for the raw product, as
well as on the light supply arriving. Eastern meat
products show no such advances as prices at East

advance as trade increases. Hogs are reported not
