live hogs are now 10 to l5c per ewt
cheaper than at this date last year
The packings of hogs since March Isl
is set down at 635, 1000, a decrease o,
10000 as compared with the same
time last year, and 10000 as CON,
pared with the year before. This
years quality is reported considerably
better and heavier than last. The re.
centadvance at Chicago is claimed to BE-
wholly due to the influence Of capital
a heavy volume of which Is invested
IN provisions. The consumpLive and
foreign shipping demand is only mod,
saa.e; indeed, the foreign movemen;
Is considerably lighter than last
year, while the home demand
especially for the South, exhibits a
marked decrease. Flour in this mar
ket has not varied during the week,
and wheat in the West shows but
little change. Cornmeal is a shade
hrmer, and the demand is somewhat
improved, though it is still almost
wholly satisfied by our local mills
Corn for grinding is in demand and
scarce, with a stronger tone and
higher prices bid. Feed corn, with oats,
bran and hay, exhibit no ne W features,
Liberal receipts of prairie hay have
weakened values, and poor qualities
of Western are plentiful, while real
choice is scarce and firm. Sugar is |
to ac cheaper on some classes, and
coffee is also lower, while rice has de.
