ago, lara o1c hiRner ana PORK 5oo per
Dbl higher. These we're Chicago
figures, and at st. Louis the weeks
difference is gain Of 10 on c s,while
lard is unchanged. The total pack
ing-in the West last week were $4,000
hogs, and 10000 more than for the
same week last year, The total since
March LIST has been 3,165,OOO hogs
an increase Of $4,000 over last year,
and the increase OF weights ranges
from 20 to 30 lbs per hog. An in
creased consumptive demand pre-
walls in this country, and the demand
for abroad is claimed TO be greater
than at the corresponding time last
year. A number Of shrewd and
closely observant local dealers express
the belief that the recent upward
movement is merely speculative, and
cannot be sustained, also that in
brief period values will incline lower,
and touch figures below any
thing SO far experienced this
season. They point to the downward
tendancy Of grain values in support Of
this theory. The price Of corr is to
20 per bushel cheaper than week ago
at Chicago and St. Louis; wheat is
II to &c cheaper, and oats are shade
dearer. The receipts Of corn here
have been meagre and prices are stiff
at 50 to 5ic per bushel lot shelled in
sacks; the last car load bulk corn to
arrive sold at 400. The past weeks
receipts were only 500 sacks, and not
enough to supply the city demand
Cornmeal has ruled dull and unsettled
with receipts Of only 400 barrels.
Flour is in ample supply with receipts
Of 1850 barrels, and prices are un>
changed. Oats are steady and in good
demand at 36 to SIC in lots, and re-
ceipts for the week were 1850 sacks.
Bran has been scarce and firm with
higher prices ruling, aud less than 600
sacks have been received. A round
lot would sell readily for SIC to SIG 80
perton,and perhaps higher. Hay has
arrived to the amount Of 1900 bales
and the offerings are in excess
Of the supply, while prices
rule weak at Sllal3 so per ton at the
track. Potatoes are in good jobbing
demand at 81 5Oal 60 per II peck Dbl
at the track, with the weeks receipts
at $50 bbls. Only 100 bbls Of apples
have arrived, and prices range from 81
to 50 so per Dbl as per quality. Onions
are steady with receipts Of 275 bbls,
Butter is steady with choice grades in
good inquiry, and country is Is to 22c
per ID. Sugar is firm with no Louis
lana offering, though few bbls Of the
new crop have gone into New Orleans
and sold at 1910. A barrel or two
have also been received here. Coffee
has ruled firm, and has been advanc
ing for two weeks past. The chicken
market has ruled steady throughout
the week, a firm feeling prevailing
at the close with light offerings, and
choice young sell up to 50 % to SO so
per doz, while old hens range up to
50 5Oa3 IS. Eggs are firm and have
not changed for >several days, prices
being 2Os2lc per doz, the latter for
small packages only.
