Chill, and $50 for barrels. The arrivals to-day will

Barley has not come quite SO freely to market the
past few days. The largest sales recorded are at
% cents per pound. .I'5'...t o.. ''
Mess and clear pork commands ready sale, in
small lots at S52 per barrcl.'
Butter has slightly improved. A good article will
bring SO 40 cents, in quantity; and Al AZ in job
bling parcels.

Rice is held with Grnmess, without, however,
much doin.. Carolina may be quoted at 10 n 20
cents, and China at II cents.
The last sales Of sugar, by auction, have tended
