The sudden and rapid advance in price has alarmed those who had made extensive time-bargains at 33s. or 34s. on board; and they are resorting to every possible contrivance to evade the fulfilment. With some of them it is a matter of necessity; for they are not in a condition to be able to ship Bacon at a loss of 35s. or 40s. per bale; and this same necessity has removed a SMITHFIELD, Monday, Dec. 1. great many scruples which, some Price of Bread.-The price of years ago, encumbered operations the 4lb. Loaf is stated at from 7d. of this kind. If we have a long to 9d, continuance of cold weather (as last year) it will enable the Agents of the Belfast houses, who possess great means, to keep up the price of pork; but if, on the contrary, the weather should be mild, the high price of that article will make it dangerous to hold; and any indication of a giving way on their part would probably occasion a great fall both in Bacon and Pork. -On board, 48s. to 50s.-Landed, 50s. to 52s.
