The Markets in Levin.

— • —r— HITCHINGS, HANKINB A*D CO., LTD. Pigs and Poultry.—The marKet on Friday, 11th inst., did not show any advance for porkers, hut as we predicted in our last report, store pigs were in. good demand at advanced prices. As soon as the bacon factories commence operations, there is certain to be a good demand for baconers, which are very scarce at the present time. This will not have any effect on the pork market as far as we can ascertain. There should, however, be a food market for porkers throughout thf season, as owing to the rearing of a Inrga number of dairy calves this season, the supply of pork is very much smaller than was the case last venr. We auote as follows Porkers Oionvv) 28s firl. 30s to 34 s 6'l ■ (mediums) 2fis to 275.
