sellers. The receipts of hogs was double
the expectations.
fairly active business was reported IN
the market for mess pork, but the feeling
was unsettled and weak during the greater
portion of the session. The Of
ferings were quite liberal at
times, and the demand moderately active
to provide for outstanding contracts. The
market opened rather weak at slight de-
cline on yesterdays prices, and was fol-
lowed by gradual reduction of 400 45c
on the whole range. During the latter
part of the session the market was COM
paratively steady at the decline. Ship
ping demand rather light. Cash quiet.
October pork closed on the curb at $12.35,
Lard was in good demand, but the mar
ket followed the same course as pork, and
ruled with declining tendency through
out the day. Opening sales were made at
yesterdays closing quotation to a shade
under. The best prices of the day were
also obtained on the first transactions,
while the lowest prevailed around the close.
The days decline amounted to 15@
1712c. A fair degree of activity
was noticeable in the market for hog pro-
ducts during the week, yet the feeling was
nervous and unsettled and prices subject
to. frequent, and in some cases, quite wide
fluctuations. The course of the market is
as much of conundrum as ever, perplex-
ing to the Oldest operators in the trade.
Takipcy into consideration bo
ings of the trade, prices of products GER
tainly. look reasonable, and compared
with other food products, are undoubtedly
cheap. But there appears to be general
lack of ambition in the trade. Specula-
tors are not disposed to make very ex-
tensive transactions nor remain in the
trade for any length of time, accepting
small losses or profits, as the case may be,
while shippers confined their operations to
providing for small orders to meet i'm
mediate wants. The unsteadiness in the
market has considerable influence on the
volume Of trade, buyers not being inclined
to do much when prices are so irregular
and uncertain. The stocks on hand are
quite large for the season of the year, and
the outward movement in product at pres
ent, while quite liberal for the season of
the year, is not sufficiently large to war
rant their reduction to very narrow limits
before the opening of the winter packing
season. Taking into consideration the
liberal manufactures, comparison of the
prices of hogs and the product leads to the
impression that the latter cannot be pro-
ftably made at current prices, yet that
does not appear to be any inducement to
merchants in consuming markets to re-
plenish their stocks. Current prices for
product and the figures ruling for delivery
during the winter season are now so near
together that the chances of loss have GER
tainly diminished, yet there are chose who
are still confident that prices must reach a
lower range.

that he had been taking an airing at
the various Wisconsin watering places,
and had enjoyed himself very much, he
having met number of people from
home. He would return north in two or
three weeks to make trip over the North
ern Pacific along with all the rest of the
world. He spoke quite hopefully about
the future of Louisiana, especially New
Orleans, and said that the Texas Pacific
d Mexican National which was being rap
idly pushed forward, to make New Orleans
the outlet of a grain trade. The deep
water which was being obtained at the
mouth of the river would enable the larger
vessels to come up to the city and there
was no reason why large proportion of
the wheat and corn crop should not be
shipped from that port. The state had
suffered considerably this year from
crevasses and the present system of
Mississippi river improvements would have
to be extended and carried forward.
In the demand for this all the states
washed by the river would join, as their
interests were all closely bound up in this
question. The general further said the
people of Louisiana were sick and tired of
politics. They had had enough of that.

THE EVENING CRITIC.
KSTA BLIsHED AUGUST 1855,


About fifty well-known property owners
on Eighth street southeast, between Penn
sylvania avenue and the southern terminus
Mt the navy-yard gate, have presented
petition to the Commissioners.
The petition states that in April, 1881,
the residents along the street unanimously
requested that an asphalt pavement be sub
stituted for the stone one, and the Commits
sioners responded that the street was in rea-
sonably good condition. An inspection of
the street after rain would have shown
that the person who made that report was
either too ignorant to Judge or else had
never seen the street. At present persons
cannot cross the street below Virginia ave-
nue. without sinking over their shoe tops
in the mud.
The petitioners ask that the street be
placed in condition worthy of the tax
levied upon them. The Belgian blocks
with which the street is paved are alleged
to have been condemned before they were
laid and are n nuisance, not only causing
intolerable noise, but making residences
along the sides of the street undesirable.
The street is regarded as very important
one, connecting the navy-yard with the
Executive Departments, White House and
Capitol, and its improvement by an as
phaltum pavement is most urgently re.
uuested.
