Provisions.

Chicago closed the week higher. There has
been some liquidation OF outside holdings, but
they are still large and packers and traders
are sellers on the hard spots.
The Chicago letter of Mitchell Mulcahy 4
Co. says: There is still a large outside IN
terest and no change in the attitude OF the
packers toward the market They are free
sellers on the hard spots stocks are already
large and the probability is that they will go
on increasing quite rapidly. Demand Is only
fair. We think provisions should be sold on
the rallies"
