There were noreds sold. The market
was rather dull. rt
Corn.-The receipts. Of Corn continue
heavy. The demand however is but
moderately active, being mainly for
coastwise shipment, there being little
room at present prices for foreign exports.
On Saturday, Monday and Tuesday
there was no variation in prices. During
the three days some $4,000 bushels
were at market, most Of which changed
hands at 10 II cts. for yellow 10 IS
cts. for white. and ~ 10 cts. for mixed.
On Wednesday about II, 900 bushels
were offered at the Corn Exchange
There was a slight falling offin prices for
mixed and yellow Corn, but white ex-
hibited no change. We note sales Of
yellow at 70 N cts white at 10 a 76
cts, and mixed at 10 a 10 cts. On

bushels. Yellow sold at 73 rs cts,

small portion was sold. Prices were
rather lower than yesterday, and we note

II a 10 cts, and mixed at 10 cts.
Oats.-There is a brisk demand for
Oats and most of the parcels offered this
week have changed hand at an advance
on last weeks prices. The offerings
comprise about 10000 to IL, 900 bushels
of all descriptions. Maryland and Vir-
ginia Oats have sold through the week
at 50 a &c., and Pennsylvania do. at So
a sec.
Seeds.-There is very little doing in
Grass Seeds and the quotations are in
a great degree nominal. We quote CIo-
verseed at $3.50 a $4,621 per bushel,
and Timothy at So 8 25. There have
be en- nosales of consequence this week
that we have heard of.
ToJacco.-There is an improved feel
ing in the market for Maryland Tobacco
this week, purchasers buying quite free
ly. The slight depression noted last
week has been overcome, and former
prices are fully sustained, an occasional
hogshead of desirable quality bringing a
shade of advance. The general inferior
ity of the crop. however, initiates much
against it, as the belief is entertained in
some quarters that the demand will not
abate this season, and that prices will
rule high for desirable lots. Sales COM
prise nearly all the receipts of Maryland
that could be inspected. We quote COM
mon to good ordinary Maryland at S.
25aS6; middliug $6a$6, 25: good to fine
brown Sc, 50a$7, and fine brown 7Sa$9.
There has been an active demand for
Ohio, and nearly all in market has been
taken. Sales comprise 200 hhds. new
crop Ohio at So, 75aST, and lot of 800
hhds. last years crop, of good quality,
suitable for France, on terms not trans
pired, but understood to be about $3.50
a$6,75. These sales clear the market
of all the old crops, and leave but little
of any sort in first hands. The inspec-
tons of the week COMPRISE 1878 hhds.

Kentucky; and 8 hhds. Virginia--iotal
