COMMERCIAL.
Nav ORLEANS, April.

our last Saturdays report, there hav-
ing been very little animation in the
demand throughout the week, though,
in consequence of moderate receipts,
and a considerable portion being for
re-shiPment to The North, holders may
be said 10 evinco rather more firm
ness, and it is only occasionally that
lots are bought from the Steam Boat
landing at S., most OF the sales be.
ing from store, and at S. l2l for su-
perfine. The stock is somewhat, re-
duced, but there is still a very fair
supply on hand for this period of the
season. Arrived this week l,l48
bbls. Cleared 9652 bbls., viz: to
New York 3237, Boston 1862. Mo-
bile, &c. 3l7, foreign ports 1887
bbIs.
PORK.-The Pork market is still
laboring undergrad depression, there
being none but a very limited de-
mand for Plantation consumption,
Ship Stores, &C., and we have again
to reduce our figures for some des.
criptions. Our quotations are now
as follows, viz: Clear SO 90, Mess,
81 SO a 81 IS, NJ. o. Sc so a Sc IS,
Prime S. IS a 6 90, P. o 81 IS a
IS 90. These are the prices at pre-
sent obtained by the regular commits
sion houses, according to quantity
and terms, but lots are occasionally
forced by the owners at still lower
rates. Bulk Pork is exceedingly dull
at 9 a 81 cents per ID, and the tenden-
cv is rather downward than other
wise. All descriptions are very
abundant, and the stocks are daily
increasing. Received this week,
1868 bills. $4,000 pounds. Cleared
1899 bbls, viz: New York I77o.
Boston 1885, Mobile, &c. SOP, For
eign ports $50 bbls.
BEET.-The receipts this season
fall materially short OF the cores
ponding period last year, but owing
to the extremely limited demand a
very ample stock has gradually ac-
cumulated, with 4 yielding of prices
for some time past. We have again
to quote 4 slight decline in the rates
for Prirae. which are now S. IS a 6
per bbl., Mess $40 4 10 so per bbl.,
half bbls. do. So so 4 6. Arrived this
week 1919 bbls. Cleared 1913 Dbl.
viz: TO New York SIS, Mobile, &c.
so. Cet,e 90 bbls.
BACON.-rhc market has n very
ample supply Of all descriptions, but
holders find it impossible to effect
sales TO any considerable extent, ow-
ing to the very limited demand, and
even the small business t~ransacting
is done at lower rates than our quota
tons Of last week-our figures are
reduced accordingly andarc for Hams
A i Al, Sides 81 I 81, Shoulders 9 n
2tc. per ID. The difficulty of effect
ing sales here induces considerable
shipments 10 other markets, on own
ers' account. Arrived this week GI5
casks and 10000 lbs. Cleared 796
casks. viz: TO New York I83, Boston
lO3. Mobile, &c. 1Oi casks.
LARD.-There has been rather
more business done in this article
during the past week than for some
time previous, several considerable
parcels having been taken for the
North and for France. The market
a. the same time has exhibited no
animation or firmness-on the con-
,rary the large stock and the desire
OF holders to effect sales, together
with the fact, hat there is none Of
strictly prime quality, have reduced
prices to a still lower range, and we
now quote extremes at 81 4ic. per
h., most of the transactions having
been in qualities ranging from 4 n Al.
1t is probable, however, that choice
parcels would still command Al Il Sc.
Arrived this week 284 bbIs. and
9l77 kegs. Cleared I4,l47 kegs,
viz: to New York 1898. Boston
4377, Mobile, &c. SIS, Marseilles 1887
other foreign ports $50 kegs.
GRAlN.-Some considerable par.
GELS of shelled Corn, in sacks, have
been taken for shipment to the North,
bu, the abundant supply has caused
4 further decline in prices. We now
quote at 81 SEC. per bushel. Corn
in the a 43 a45c. per bb. Oats 80
Il Sac. per bushel. Arrived this week
7474 bbls. Corn IN the ear, 1882
sacks do, 500 bbls Oats. Cleared
1888 sacks Corn, viz: to New York
3ll6, Boston 317o, Mobile, &c. GOO
sacks.
BAGGING & BALE RopE.-Since the
considerable transactions noticed in
our last, further sales to a fair extent
have been made, and at prices equal
ly irregular and widely varrving.-
The business is principally confined
