PROvIsIONS.-Th Hibernia's accounts have
impaired more frmness to this market, but we
cannot learn that any actual advance IN price mas
resulted therefrom The stock OF Western IS yet
light, although there are considerable parcels IN
transit, portion of which via New Orleans, but the
earliest receipts will probably to hand via the
Ohio river and our internal improvements
Beef-The market remains much the same as Tor
some time past. The most Of the transactions which
have taken place for the West India market were
in small packages of a choice quality, while the de-
mand for brls has been confined to parcels only Tor
and the Continent since the advent Of winter, have
been heavy. Inspected this week: TIL tres and

ply as well to the improved demand. ABOUT
300 tres have sold, part TO arrive, at 3b25d $40

matra Pepper 7la7S, and Jamaica Pimento IL cts
sPIRITS.-The transactions in Foreign are most
ly of retail character N E. Rum has been selling
to a fair extent at % cts. per gallon. Whskey has
vanced, owing chiefly to the advance in Corn, and
brs. may now be quoted 25aa26 cts, and hhds' ~
per gallon
SUGARS.-The market has been very quiet since
our last weeks report. and we can only quote New
Orleans nomnalIy 7a7s cts. per lb. mos; but the
market is without supply ofany description
TOBACCO.-The market continues without any
thing beyond a moderate movement, and the lew
of the year not of character to impart TO them
fixed market price. The aggregate OF the sales since
the commencement of the present year have not
probably exceeded 600 hhds Of all descriptions, and
the inspections only about so; and very few OF the
latter crop, although as shown at foot they
were chiefly Maryland. In our observations touch
ing the crops Of Maryland and Ohio for 1916, pub
lshed in our annual Review of the market IN the
Journal Of the 9th inst, we remarked that 1t had
been ascertaned that each would fall considerably
short of average how far short that of Mary
land will be, we have not heard conjecture; but
that of Ohio will not, it is thought, exceed 5,0oo
hhds (and Of that portion not over lO0D hhds OF
coory) while the crop of lS45 reached nearly 2900
The stock of Mary land and Ohio remaining on hand
at the close OF last year, as we have before pubiish
ed amounted to 80 1872 hhds; and since then there
have been exported something over 1000 hhds.; so
that including what is already shipboard and not
cleared and that which has been purchased there is
probably in shippers hands about 49, oo hhds,
5000 Of which are Ohio and 1000 MarylaRd-and the
remaining 5000 are still in the hands Of factors.
Inspected this week 13 hhds. Maryland, and
hhds Ohio-total, 16 hhds. Cleared within the
time for foreign ports, hhds. Exported since
LIST inst. of Maryland and Ohio TO Rotterdam, 600
hhds., and to Bremen 405-total, 1914 hhds.
WOOL.-There have been some few unimportant
lots picked up, but the stock at present in market
very light; good feeling. however. pervades it.
