This morning there were about l, 100
bushels ut market. We note sales Of
fair to good whites at 200 208 cts.-
There were no reds sold. The market

Corn.-Ths receipts Of Corn continue

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 5000 bushels
were at market, most of which changed
hands at rs ~ cts. for yellow I; 70 o rs
eta. for white, and 10 70 cts. for mixed.
On Wednesday about 1900 bushels

on. last weeks prices. The offerings

of all descriptions. Maryland and Vir-
pinia Oats have sold through the week

a sc.
Seeds.-There is very little doing in
Grass Seeds and the quotations are in
a great degree nominal. We quote Clo-
verseed at $3.50 a $4,622 per bushel,
and Timothy at 90 . 8 Is. There have
been no sales of consequence this week
that we have heard of.
Iobacco.-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 q
shade of advance. The general inferior
ity of the crop, however, initiates much
against it, as the belief 10 entertained in
some quarters that the demand will not
abats 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; middling S6a$6, IS; good 10 fine
brown So ,50a$7, and fine brown 7$a$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 S5, 75a$7, and a 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
aS6,75 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.
Maryland; 500 hhds. Ohio; IA hhds.
Kentucky; and 8 hhds. Virginia-iotal
