The Markets in Levin.

HITOHINGB, HANKINS A*TD OD., LTD.

Pigs and Poultry.—The market on Friday, 11th inst., did not show any advance for porkers, but aa we predicted in our last report, store pigs were in good demand at advanced prices. As soon as the bacon factories commence operations, tnere is certain to be a good demand for baconers, Which are very soiree at the present time. This will not have any effect on the Dork market as far as we can ascertain. There should, however, be a "ood market for porkers throughout the. season, as owing to the rearing of a large number of dairy calves this season, the of pork is very much smaller than* was tbe case last year. We quote as follows'.—Porkers (heavy) 28s fid, 30s to 34s 6d ; (mediums)' 26s to 275, (light) 23s 6d to 255; sows in pig, 50s, 53s 6d to fiOs: store pigs, 16s, 18s, 18s to 22s for forwar dpigs; weaners, ss, 6s 6d to lis: slips, lis fid to 12s 6d.
