NEW ORLEANS MARKET, August %,
There are no particular variations in the market
since our last weekly remarks. The only arti.
Giles in which there has been any activity are
provisions and white beans This has been
occasioned by the anticipated demand for supply,
ing the troops in Texas, and BESIDES The stock Of
pork and bacon is unusually light for this season
OF the year. Business in all other kinds OF west
ern produce is extremely dull.
The weather has been excessively hot through.
out the week, and rain is very much wanted.
ToBAcco-The stock is much reduced, and
transactions are very light The receipts and
stock are not Of the quality in demand. There
is good enquiry for the bright leafy descriptions,
and even for dark, Of good qualities but the
stock on sale is principally composed OF old and
inferior qualities. The sales Of the week amount
to about 300 hhds. We continue 10 quote nfe
ror u a %: common 80; fine, a ST;
choice and fine segar leaf, 81 lie per ID.
PRovlsloNs-Last week we noticed that there
had been fair demand for Pork and Bacon;
this week there has been more activity in the
market, but the transactions partake very much
Of a speculative character. Prices have again
advanced; we quote Mess Pork, 81, Prime,
S13 per Dbl. We would remark that sales,
except 10 dealers, are in very small and moderate
quantities. We quote Bacon Hams 10 cents
for extra cured; there is no common Of conse.
1uence on the market. Sides are selling at 8, and
Shoulders at ct 81 cents per ID. The de-,
mand for Beef is still limited, and required only
for ship stores. Prices are without change;
Mess $40 Is 80 so; Prime, $8 % a
So so per Dbl. There is very little enquiry for
Lard; prices remain without further change, It a
81 cts. per TO-
BAoGlNs AND BALE RopE-The market is
extremely dull, and there are occasional small
sales at former prices-bagging II 12c. per
yard, and rope sc per h.
HAY-We have none in first hands: II is sell
ing from store at S18 $40 per ton.
HEMP-The market has been dull for the
last two weeks; we hear of but one sale, which
was 1875 bales at SIS per ton. Asking prices
are s75 a $50 per ton.
FLouR--The stock has been fast accommodating
in consequence Of the limited demand, which is
confined principally TO city consumption. Ohio
is selling for 3 rs 4 90 per bbl., and lavorite
ST. Louis brands l24 4 so per Dbl. We
hear OF one sale from the Levee at 62l but it
was not in very good condition. If an offer for
any considerable quantity were made, it could nc
doubt be had at 10 zoe. below those prices.
CoRx-The stock and receipts Of good and
sound is becoming reduced; in consequence there
m been slight advance in prices we quote
Is description al 81 4Oc. per bushel' ant
wesvily and inferior 80 &c.
OArs-The receipts have been to some exten
this week; they amount to about 3'OOo SACKS
principally OF the new crop. We find prices
have declned--we now quote % 3oc' per
bushel in sacks.
