THE RICHMOND MEAT MARKET.
The Tone is Hopeful and the Outlook
Very Bright.

The present condition of the meat mar
ket need not excite the apprehension OF
any housekeeper. Prices are much about
the same as they always q at this sea-
son of the year. except with reference
10 pork, and the prospects are that the
fan will regulate those prices that have
gone Skywards
Pork is higher owing 10 the scarcity of
hogs. and ~ and l2r2 cents is now asked
for meat that has heretofore been and
10 cents. Veal is scarce. and prices are
consequently higher. but beef remains
about the same. There is a bright pros
pect, indeed, that cattle Will be more
plentiful during the fall. IL is nearly
always so between the middle Of August
and December, and the present indica-
lions point i'm that direction.
There have been large shipments Of
sheep to Richmond from States south Of
virginia, some for killing and some for
stock. Baltimore has been buying stock
cattle from Richmond, and the demand
FOR stock seems 10 be generally better
than for meat. The cattle market mere
IS improving. and the new stock yards
will sin further improve the situation.

testimony. Finally, MERCER left him in
