Charleston Market. Sent. I.

CORN.-SOme IS 600 bushels Maryland Corn have
been received during the period under review The
stock had been very much reduced, and the market
has been partially relieved by this timely arrival
OF this amount about 6 500 bushels have been sold
the balance having come to dealers. The market,
which opened at Sl,04, closed yesterday at 81 per
busheL Some 4, l57 bushels have reached us by
railroad, but the transactions have been too limited
to afford scope for quotations
WHEAT.-Some attention was drawn to this article
just after the close of previous report and dur
ing the first few days good business was done in
Red at Sl,35 per hUshel. The demand, however
was subsequently checked by the refusal of holders
TO 60 on at this price, but they have recently CONS
TO terms, and during the last two days about 10 900
bushels have been taken at this figure We also note
sales Of upwards Of 1000 bushels of poorer quality
at Sl,30. The transactions in White have been too
Unite to attract particular attention.
Flour There was some inquiry for this article
just after the closing of previous report which,
however, was directed chiefly to sacks and upwards
OF 1000 changed hands at prices ranging from S34
to % per sack. Barrels have been run off in small
lots within the range of S63GS7, as in quality.
BACoN.-The stock for some time back has been
very light, and the market consequently has been
swept Of every piece Of meat that was merchantabe
at high prices. Sides are worth 165 and I7c and
Shoulders l5GGl54c. Hams are also scarce and
command from TO to Ice, and something of extra
quality might top our latter qualities.
