The pork and lard markets are steady
and unchanged. Boston packers have
made another large kill Of hogs, the tota.
for the week having been about As, 700;
preceding week, 49,500; same week a
year ago, 40.100. The movement into ex-
port has been large. with total value OF
pork exports from Boston Of about $217.-
900: preceding week, $50, 900: same week a
year ago, 100000.
The beef market continues very frn
in the west. Trade is dull here, and 1t is
found to be very hard to raise prices to
correspond with the west and the actual
cost of cattle, from the fact that this
market is very fully supplied with fairly
cheap poultry and low-price mutton and
lamb. Still the lower grades Of beef are
firmer, from the fact that the supply is
largely running to the better grades.
The mutton and lamb market has been
fully supplied of late, and under only q
fair trade prices are not very firmly sus-
tanned. Veals are steady: Spring lambs,
1000; Brighton fancy, SR09hc; muttons
5@7c; Brighton and fancy muttons, "a
71kc; veals, sQ10c; fancy and Brightons,

Receipts of poultry are steadily in
creasing, and prices are easier. West.
ern turkeys sell at IL to 13 cents. North
ern turkeys quoted at Is to IA cents. but.
with the large quantities Of western ex-
pected, it may not be safe to count on
much more for northern than for west
ern. Chickens and fowls are in large
supply, and are being put away for a
better market. The Indications are that
poultry of all kinds will be plentiful for
Christmas trade.
Games Is In only fair supply, with
grouse and quail not very plenty, and
bringing good prices. venison is in good
supply and rather easy. Some very fine
black ducks are seen in the market, the
