Provisions.

The market continues well supplied and quiet
Chicago was firm. The letter OF Bolton. de
Ruyter & Co. said: The market is active and
sharply higher. Possibly the strength in grain
contributed TO some extent, but the conditions
of supply and demand are, in our judgment
sufficient to account for the advancing tenden-
cy Of the market. Receipts Of hogs are no
larger than last year the whole while the
distributive demand is better and prices are
lower. The large packing interests can hardly
hope to attain any great benefits by the bear
campaign Outside speculative buying is in
creasing and we are inclined to think packers
are accumulatng holdings. The market has
had an important rally from low prices and
VIII probably have reactions. On the reactions
we would buy provisions.

little disposition was manifested to take pronts.
