he-demand for money has been quite
moderate during the week, and the market
has ruled very easy, there being an anxiety
displayed to get good paper at SOLO per
cent Exchange has not varied much dur
ing the week, though towards the close the
demand was better, which is owing to wants
Of various corporations which have to meet
their July interest in the East. Time bills
on the East are wanted at COS per cent,
and very few offering.
The offerings of uncurrent money are
light, and it is bought freely at l dis. for
Missouri, and ! J dis. for Illinois and Wis
consin.
The Wheat harvest is progressing in Ike =
lucky, and several samples of the new crop
have been exhibited in this market during
the week. One lot of Alabama sold at 81 IS.
The quality is pretty good. Samples of
new Barley have also been exhibited, of a
very superior quality.
The Flour market continues irregular,
more so than we have known it for several
years, and it has been impossible to give
regular quotations any day during the week.
One day , 900 brls super to extra sold at
81 5O64 rs, and the next day the same
grade would bring 25@30c per brl over
these rates, whilst small lots extra, fresh
ground brought prices ranging from s. 10
to Sc.
Wheat advanced 3 to sc during the week
but closed dull and little better than nomi-
nal at 81 1901 90 for red, and 81 % for
white; there has been very little of the lat
ter grade offered, and the receipts of all kinds
have been quite small. 1t is clear tina the
old crop is pretty well drained out of the
country, so that receipts of any amount
need not be looked for until the new crop is
ready for market.
Oats have been in large supply and de-
clined to Sc, but became better al the close,
selling at 81. Rye dull. Barley in de-
mand but very little Offering.
Whisky steady all the week at y. The
receipts of this article are very light but
seem to be equal to the demand.
The market for mess pork did not change
in any essential particular during the week.
There has been no pressing demand, and the
business done has been quite limited. Hold
ers continue to ask Sl8@l8 %, and are
| firm. Yesterday it advanced to $l8 rs in
/ New York. Bacon has been in fair demand
in the fore part and active demand in the
! latter part of the week, and about 900 hhds
sold, closing at &c. and &c. for shoulders
and sides. This demand is from the East
| chiefly from Baltimore and Philadelphia.
| AS a consequence of this the desire to buy
| bulk meats has increased, and Tic and DC
were freely offered for shoulders and sides
| At the close bacon was held at 8 d, 104 and
| III, with buyers at ! below these rates
for sides, and 3c. for shoulders, and bulk
meats were held at u for shoulders, and 81
! 093 for medium and heavy sides, with buy
ers at &c below these figures.
Lard sold in the early part of the week
at lie for prime in tierces, and the same
price was paid for 800 kegs, but subse.
| quently, prime in tierces was Withdrawn
from the market, and the same quality in
barrels and kegs was offered at &c without
! finding buyers. The fierce lard is wanted
for the Havana market being the only kind
| adapted to that trade.
ne notice an increased demand for Sugar
| Cured Hams, and prices have advanced to
| ll3(0l2c. The stock ia greatly reduced
and the same may be said of Common
| Hams.
4 further decline of 25c. in Beef Cattle
with a large supply and dull market
Potatoes are 25c. per Dbl lower and very
dull. The market is now we'll supplied
with new, which are selling in the small
way at zoe. per bushel, so that old may now
be considered out OF date.
! There has been no change in the grocery
market OF note the demand for Sugar AMI
MoIasses has been quite moderate, and boil
market fair to good bringing l44GG l44c.
